When you have braces, you’ll need to be careful about what you eat. This is because certain foods can damage your braces.
While most damage to braces is not serious, it can sometimes require an emergency visit to the orthodontist to get it repaired. Furthermore, when your braces break, they no longer work as well. This is why it’s important to try to not to damage your braces.
In this blog post, we’ll explain in detail what foods you should avoid when you have braces. By following the tips in this post, you can help to keep your teeth and your braces in good shape.
Hard foods
Hards foods can potentially break your braces by causing the wires to snap. That’s why it’s best to limit the hard foods you eat, or at least to be careful when you eat them.
Hard foods to watch out for include:
- Hard sweets, such as boiled sweets
- Raw carrots
- Raw apples
- Nuts
- Popcorn (particularly unpopped corn kernels)
You don’t have to avoid these foods altogether but you do need to be careful when eating them. Try cutting hard foods into small pieces before you eat them, as this can really help to avoid problems. For example, you can cut an apple into slices to make it much easier to eat.
Sticky Foods
Sticky foods are another type of problematic food for people who have braces. This is because sticky foods can easily get stuck in braces, and when you try to get the food out, your braces might break. That’s why it’s best to avoid sticky foods until you get your braces taken off.
Sticky foods to watch out for include:
- Caramel
- Peanut butter
- Dried fruit
- Sticky sweets
- Chewing gum
- Chewy foods
Chewy foods

Chewy foods include:
- Chewy sweets, such as liquorice
- Chewy bread, such as bagels and hard rolls
Sugary Foods
Everyone knows that sugar is bad for your teeth. That’s why it’s important to minimise your sugar intake as much as possible – and even more so when you have braces. Sugary foods can easily get stuck in braces, where they can easily cause plaque and other problems. So do try to limit your sugar intake if you have braces. Also, remember to brush your teeth carefully at least twice a day, especially after eating sugary foods.
Sugary foods include:
- Sweets
- Cake
- Biscuits

There are many foods that you need to be careful with when you have braces. However this doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t eat them. As long as you’re careful, you can still enjoy a wide and varied diet while wearing braces.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
ReplyHello everyone, I am really grateful to God for leading my way to meet Doctor Odunga who gave me the winning numbers to the Powerball lottery to win $1.3 Billion Dollars. My name is Cheng Saephan, I am 46 years old and I have been diagnosed with Cancer for over 8 years now. I live in Portland, Oregon. My wife Duanpen has done everything she can to cure me of this illness until a friend of hers Laiza Chao introduced Doctor Odunga to her that he can cure all types of illness. My wife told me about this man and I didn’t say much but thank God she did contact him through his email. I quickly learned that this man can also make people win the lottery and I just couldn’t resist asking him first to do a lottery spell for me because I have been playing the lottery almost everyday since I can remember. It didn’t take time at all when this man gave me the winning numbers for the Powerball and I played it and won the Powerball Jackpot of $1.3 Billion Dollars. This man blessed my family and also cured me of Cancer. Thank You Doctor Odunga. I have testified about your work sir and hope to bring serious ones to you for help too. Contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and also Whats-app +2348167159012
