Best and worst foods for

dental braces

 

 

 

 

Many people recently seek orthodontic

treatment for healthy living and aesthetic.

So today we are going to learn about best

and worst foods to prevent damage by

breaking the braces off and bending

the wires while you are undergoing

dental braces.

 

 

 

 

At the early stage of orthodontic treatment,

the teeth become week while the moment

forces are applied to move the teeth into

the right position. In the meantime,

chewing forces result in the pain therefore

eating soft foods is advisable.

 

 

 

 

Soft and nutritious foods such as steamed

eggs or tofu, and dairy products such as milk,

cheese or yogurt can help oral health.

It is important to eat a healthy balanced diet

for both digestion and oral hygiene while

wearing braces.

 

 

 

 

On the other hand, hard foods,

sugary foods or heavily pigmented foods

such as curry, coffee are recommended to

avoid when you are undergoing

orthodontic treatment.

 

 

 

 

Hard foods even like fruits or vegetables

can damage or break wires and brackets.

When brackets come off, it should be

attached to the teeth again

 by visiting the hospital.

These foods needed to be cut into

small pieces.

Sticky foods for example chewing gum are

also the most dangerous because

they can get caught between the wires

and braces, and can even result in the

braces getting pulled off.

 

Also the most important thing is taking

good care of your teeth with braces and

taking the time to brush your teeth and

floss regularly.
