You'll need to carry a brush along with you. If you let the food stay on your brackets it can stain your teeth.
Just excuse yourself and check it out in the bathroom.
My dentist gave me this little pipe cleaner looking brush that gets the food that the regular brush misses. You might want one of those.
I love that just brushed feeling now. I've had the braces since october. No one else will have a problem with you being clean.

one thing i do is drink a little water and try and get it out with that, i dont think anyone really notices. or if u can go 2 the bathroom and looks in the mirror and get it out. i found that as the longer i had braces the bettre i have gotten at not getting food stuck in them. i also find it easier 2 get food out of them with my tongue from some teeth than others, but this looks a bit funny if ppl r watcing u do it lol

If you know about it then excuse yourself and ask for the washroom. its foolish to think that will mind that or will make fun of you. Trust me its way better than to worry how bad it looks.
And just for a check, try to go to the washroom in the end and see if your teeth are ok. you can say you want to wash your hands.
And if one of your friends tell you that youve got something on your teeth, dont feel embarased but thank them.cuz its better to know that then than to go home and find out yourself and feel embarassed.

Bring some tooth picks and politely excuse yourself to use the bathroom. You could also make some light jokes about it to make everyone feel at ease, and maybe your friends are good ones and will tell you politley that you've got something in your teeth.

Have a sip of water and discreetly rinse the bits of food out, or excuse yourself, go to the bathroom and remove the offending bits.

Excuse yourself from the table. Go to the restroom and either rinse with water or brush.
