The reason why is because you gums have very small open spaces between the tooth called "pockets". They usually run from 1-3mm and unhealthy ones can run 4-6mm and even more! Popcorn kernals are just the right size to get wedged in between. All other foods are usually too big.
I know it sucks but if you can, floss at least once a week when you have braces. Some people find doing the uppers one night and then the lowers the other night less time consuming. Cause when you have braces will get everything stuck.
you are not suppose to eat popcorn!!! in the first place.
