Answers:
I used to have braces, but I'm done with them like years ago!.!.!.!.

Basically:

> No sticky food like caramel, pizza (the cheese), gum, etc!.
> No hard food like hard candy, popcorn kernel, etc!.
> VERY LITTLE sugary like soda, ice cream, etc!. (it is best to stay away from it) Once per week should be the minimum, but ask your dentist though!.
> No (too) chewy food like chewy candy!.
> No Sour/Acidic food, including some fruits!.
> No food that is too difficult to eat (bitter food is an exception, lol)!.
> No food that is extremely weird/disgusting for the sake of your teeth and health!. ^_~Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can't think of anything you shouldn't eat before you get braces, but while you have them, you shouldn't eat and sticky food or candy (like caramel), you should stay away from physically biting into apples, and you should also avoid chewing ice!. (You should avoid that last one anyways)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stop drinking pop!. After eating a meal chew some sugar free gum!. Brush at least 2 times a day and each time you brush do it for at least 2 minutes!. Make sure you do the little circles!.

I hope that helps :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had braces/mouth hardware crap from 2nd grade til now!. I'm happy though, I just have plastic retainers I wear at night ^_^Www@Answer-Health@Com

Junk food!.

What goes into your body, reflects on the outside!.

Candies and chips are bad for you, and bad for your braces!. Soda should be cut down the minimum!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sugar of course!. Anything acidic i!.e!. lemons, grapefruit, oranges (to a degree), don't crack things like sunflower seeds!.
And of course, brush, brush, brush and floss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
