"Dr. Kuruvadi, what foods should I avoid while
wearing braces?"
 You can eat just about anything, but there are some exceptions.
At Kuruvadi Braces - Orthodontist, we feel that getting used
to
braces also usually means making a few adjustments in your eating habits.
This is because some food might damage your braces or cause problems for your
teeth. Here's a list of items that your orthodontic team at Kuruvadi Braces - Orthodontist suggests you avoid (or some ways they can still be enjoyed
with caution):
 |
Apples (don't bite into a whole one! Cut it into wedges first.) |
|
|
Bubble gum (check with Dr. Kuruvadi for approval)
|
|
|
Candy (caramels, taffy, nut brittles, fruit-flavored chewy candies, gummi anything!) |
|
|
Carrots (avoid sticks, cut into thin curls)
|
|
|
Corn on the cob (remove the kernels from the cob, then enjoy!)
|
|
|
Corn chips/crisp tacos
hard foods (they're tough on braces, causing bending and breaking) |
|
|
Ice (no crunching!) |
|
|
Lemon juice/lemons (pure lemon juice is very hard on your tooth enamel) |
|
|
Nuts, pizza crust/crusty breads (outer edges)
|
|
|
Popcorn or pretzels (the large, hard varieties) |
|
|
Sticky foods (can bend wires and pull off brackets) |
|
|
Sugary foods (at Kuruvadi Braces - Orthodontist we fell you
should avoid these as much as possible) |
|
For more information about how we at Kuruvadi Braces - Orthodontist can help you with
