Answers:
After you get your braces on or following a tightening, stick to soft foods:
- yogurt
- applesauce
- oatmeal/ cream of wheat/ grits
- mac and cheese
- mashed potatoes
- jello
- pudding
- soup
- shakes/ smoothies
Regular time with braces:
- just avoid crunchy, chewy, sticky things (starburst, skittles, caramel, now and laters, etc!.!.!.)
- no ice, don't suck on it or chew it
- cut raw fruits and veggies into small pieces and chew on your molars
- no gum, whatsoever!!!
- limit your soda/ tea with sugar/ sports drink intake, as the excess sugar isn't good!.!.!. especially if you don't brush after you drink your soda
- drink plenty of water, as hydration helps keep your mouth wet and helps prevent really stinky breath
- no popcorn, hard chips/ hard crackers
- anything soft like breads are fine, they just get stuck
- pasta is fine, however it can get wrapped around the wires and can make you feel like you are choking!.!.!. so cut it into small pieces and chew the pasta carefully (it won't break anything, it just feels weird sometimes)
- be careful when eating fruits with seeds or pulp, like oranges and raspberries and grapes
Just be careful when you are eating regularly!. Cut your food up, eat slowly, and chew completely!. It will be hard sometimes to chew because food will get stuck in the braces!. Your bite will be adjusting all the time, so sometimes it will be physically hard to grind your food --- this will go away with time!.
They can be adjusted to, but learning how to eat without making a big mess has been my biggest problem so far!!! Haha!!! Food gets stuck everywhere and my plate is covered with little pieces that I have cut up -- it looks funny :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

umm!.!.you can eat pretty much anything!.!.as long as its soft!. but!.!.make sure that you don't eat anything sticky!.!.ex: Carmel, sour patch kids, gum, etc!.
and as for the drinks!.!.!.anything! when i got my braces nothing really hurt when i drank something!.!.
also something that helped me ALOT!.!.is when you first get your braces you will have alot of cuts and sores on your gums!.!.so if you go to a shaved ice place and ask for unflavored shaved ice and just let it rest on your cuts!.!.it really helps it sooth!. if they don't have unflavored shaved ice flavored is fine too!.!.its just the sugaring irritates it a lil bit!.
hope this helps!!
