What are the types of foods to avoid when a person has braces on?
While on braces, you should stick to food that are easy to eat with braces. Keep in mind that not every food can be eaten with braces on, you will need to stick to softer food during this period. Avoid foods like chewy candy, crunch foods, and hard fruits to prevent your wire/braces from cutting or bending or becoming loose.
When you get your braces on or tightened, eat soft foods for the first few days. Actually, you may want to start with softer foods like soups and smoothies because of teeth sensitivity. You would want to stay away from hard and sticky food for the period you’d be wearing your braces.
