Having braces can be tough, especially during the holiday season when there are so many delicious treats everywhere. While it may be tempting, we always recommend that our patients avoid any foods that are hard, chewy, sticky or gooey. Hard foods can break brackets and sticky foods will easily get caught in the bracket and wires. We still want you to enjoy this time of year though, so here are some suggestions of foods that are “braces-friendly” and will still taste every bit as sweet!
• Soft candies like chocolate or fudge WITHOUT nuts
• Soft cookies
• Cake or pie
As always, remember to brush and floss after eating!!!
