About Braces?
which sucks becuz i heard ppl saying u can't eat this u can't eat that.
how does it feel when u have that for a couple of days?
Answer:
well for breakfast eat some tortilla chips or doritos or something bc once the braces are say bye bye to hard things (like chips) u might wanna eat some apples and oranges bc its a major hassle to eat them once ya get braces...id say wait to take the pain killer and Advil works best... take the advil right AFTER bc it will get to workin right when ur mouth starts to notice the changes... if u play an instrument (like me) or do sports (like me) then u might have to wait to play bc ur mouth will be sore for about 2 weeks and all ur gonna wanna eat is mashed taters so be ready for that !ur not allowed to eat ALOT of things so eat as much of them that u can before ya get the braces!
popcorn
tortilla chips
licorice
hard candy
ice
bubble gum
pizza crust
nuts
ALL ARE NOT ALLOWED
there are many foods that u just dont wanna eat bc they are just a big hassle to out of the braces so eat...
steak
apples
granola bars (hard like nature valley)
corn on the cob
chicken fried steak
crackers
fresh bread (hard crust)
pizza (pep. and hamburger get stuck)
soda (it eats away at ur teeth and u shouldnt drink it)
chicken strips
hamburgers
sandwiches (bread gets stuck)
honestly the list goes on and on...... so eat as much of the food listed above bc ur not gonna eat it for awhile... now about the brushes and stuff ur ortho should give u all the stuff u need... and just some little tricks
sugarfree gum (doesnt stick if you just HAVE to get gum)
popcorn (eat no more than 2 pieces @ a time bc the kernels wonts get stuck that ways)
lemonade (good sub. for soda)
licorice (the cherry bites of twizzlers are gummi and are easier to eat)
steak and chicken (cut into very very small pieces so it wont get caught between brackets)
ice (crushed ice is better)
those are all my tricks! hope u have fun learning about the care, responcibility, and joy of braces!jk
remember it will be worth every single second in the end:)
I'm getting them too this is my answer I got to this question I get mine august 2nd! Good Luck Have a Great Smile!!
The first week or two was horrible. My teeth hurt so much and were sensitive. The good thing was after the third week or so i never had a problem with pain. When I'd get them tighten they wouldn't hurt no more unlike my friends. It's different for everyone. Some people experience no pain. Get some Advil! Oh yeah no popcorn during the movies. Thats what i missed the most
It's hard to believe from your picture that your just not perfect already.
If you need the braces, you need the braces. Deal with it as millions of other people have. You will miss some of the "comfort" foods, but may develop some good eating habits in the process.
Best of luck, keep smiling.
I've had braces for couple months now, to correct my buck teeth. The first days were hell, but now all I feel is tickling in my gum. Which is also very annoying! I've tried to eat some hard stuff like chips and pizza and they hurt my teeth too much. And there's no way I can eat corn on the cub or anything with my front teeth, I have to cut everything in small pieces, even spaghetti.
