i don't remember having a list of things i couldn't eat .... or maybe i just didn't care (!!!)
maybe really sticky foods? it's a lot easier to cut food instead of biting into it, then you get food all in your grill ... yewwww. |

You mean the orthodontist didn't tell you that you have to be on a liquid diet the entire time you have braces?
I'd go buy a blender if I were you. Happy slurping! |

why don't you ask your orthodontist? I remember mine specifically telling me a few things to avoid. Like soda & coffee (the acid can weaken the glue + they stain) caramel. Really hard foods, especially ice which is bad either way, but esp. so w/ braces as it can break your brackets. |

Hmm not sure of any sites, but don't eat carmel apples. Your Orthodontist should have a list for you. |

Don't put just anything in your mouth. Some objects & foods can loosen or break appliances. So think about these tips before you take a bite:
Slice fresh vegetables, fruits & other hard-to-chew foods before eating them.
Avoid hard foods like popcorn, nuts, or corn chips. Don’t chew on ice.
Don’t eat sticky foods like gum, caramel, taffy & gummy candy.
Cut down on sugary foods and soft drinks. If you do have them, brush your teeth right after.
Don’t chew or bite objects such as pens, pencils, crayons & fingernails |

Your ortho should have given you a list. Ask about it next time you go in.
My ortho told me I wasn't supposed to eat gum, hard candies(jolly ranchers, etc.), ice, soft candies(starbursts, etc), apples that haven't been sliced, etc.
I found that sugar free gum is okay as long as you're careful. Just make sure the label specifically says "sugar free." |

Here's a few sites that might be able to help you:
http://www.greatsmiles.net/foods/foods.html
http://www.archwired.com/3_-_go_on.htm
In a nutshell:
"It's a good idea not to eat foods that can damage or dislodge braces. Hard foods such as candy, raw carrots, corn on the cob, pretzels, nuts, popcorn and crushed ice are off limits. Sticky foods to avoid include caramel, taffy and gum. These foods can get stuck between teeth and gums or bend wires and knock bands or brackets loose. If this results in damage to braces, treatment may be extended." |

I know my sister had braces but when they recently put it on they said to only drink fluids for at least a day and then to avoid bubble gum, candy that could stick to your braces and drink a lot of fluids and try not to eat on hard stuff but only try. |

1. Any sticky things like gum, tootsie rolls, candies,
2. Hard things you can break braces on ex. Ribs, chicken, You can eat it if you take it of the bone.
3. Pizza, i don't really understand that, i know crust may harm your wires, i'm just putting it here cause it was on the list i got when getting my braces (i still eat pizza anyways)
4. Lolypops, same thing as pizza, it was on the list, no idea how it can hurt you xD
5. Nuts, peanuts, etc. |

cut large fruit in smaller pieces (carrots, apples, etc), popcorn, corn on the cob, gum! AVOID! Hard candy, better to lick that to chew or bite. Hope that helped |

Bagels and hard rolls they loosen the brackets. Avoid Popcorn, Ribs, any kind of nuts or seeds. Don chew gum and no candy, and no drinking fizzy drinks like sodas. |
