Uhm... what's the question? I wouldn't recommend eating hard things, like biting into a whole apple, or things like that. Things like corn will get stuck behind the wires and around the brackets and are incredibly hard to remove. Also stay away from sticky things like Snickers, as it can dislodge the wires.

that is so BS!!! You can eat whatever you want. You just need to make sure that you do two things. First, try and eat on the inside portion of your teeth. when eating anything hard or tough...i.e the pizza crust. Secondly, if you eat or drink sweets...ie. chocolate, soda, candy ( taffy especially), brush your teeth as soon as possible afterwards. They tell you these things to scrare you into taking good care of your teeth while the braces are on there. You CAN still eat these things if you are careful. The orthodontist wants your teeth to turn out perfect and keeping them clean will only increase the chances of making this happen!! Good luck

I had braces and found a way to eat all that stuff. Your dentist is being a little overprotective, You should never eat hard candy. Even if had to give these things up for a year or so, is that such a bad thing, when beautiful teeth will be your reward?

You can still eat it in very small amounts. In the end, it'll all be worth it: straight teeth, less cavities b/c less junk food, and a smaller waist b/c less junk food, too! So, braces are helping your teeth and your digestive system. Hooray!

I had braces for 6 years, and never restricted my diet. I was just careful about how I ate things, and I was fine!
