Stop Living With Crooked Teeth!

When you think about braces, you inevitably picture the traditional, clunky metal braces that we all associate with awkward adolescence. These appliances are comprised of four parts—brackets, arch wires, bands, and ligature ties. However, even when opting for metal braces over other options, these appliances are smaller and lighter weight than ever before. In fact, most of what people think they know about braces is no longer true.

Frequently Asked Questions

Food will occasionally become stuck in your braces/orthodontics, which is why eating healthy is very important. When foods high in sugars and other starches become stuck in your teeth, bacteria break down the sugars and increase oral acidity. Over time, this leaves your teeth vulnerable to tooth decay. Sticky foods, such as jelly beans, fruit snacks or roll-ups, candies that contain caramel (like Snickers), or other candies, should be avoided. Hard foods, such as popcorn, whole apples, nuts, crunchy granola bars, or ice, may actually lead to broken wires or brackets. Even foods that you wouldn’t think to be problematic, like pizza crust or bagels, can cause issues with your braces.

  • Breakfast: To start your day, try oatmeal, Malt-o-Meal, or other hot cereal. Mix in fresh fruit, a spoonful of smooth peanut butter, or even a few dark chocolate chips to make it a tasty treat. Some people enjoy a smoothie made with milk, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Pancakes and eggs also provide healthy breakfast options.
  • Lunches: After first receiving your braces and following each adjustment, you feel a little soreness. Fortunately, there are a number of options for soft and healthy lunches. Many patients enjoy casseroles, pasta dishes, pasta salads, and soup. You could also choose macaroni and cheese or a chicken wrap.
  • Dinner: For dinner, many people choose recipes that involve a slow cooker. This allows chicken, fish, and beef to be softened and marinated, providing an easy to eat, and flavorful, meal. Meatballs and meatloaves are another very popular dinner choice for people wearing orthodontics. As with lunch, pastas, casseroles, and salads offer healthy alternatives that are comfortable on your teeth and gums.
  • Snacks: While avoiding candy and popcorn may seem limiting, there are actually a number of convenient snack options for people wearing braces. Fresh fruit and vegetables can be cut into small slices and eaten with dip. You can also try cheese sticks and healthy yogurt. If you just can’t say no to your sweet tooth, all types of chocolate (without nuts or sticky add-ins like caramel) are a satisfying treat that can wash away from your teeth relatively easily.
