This animated video provides tips on what to eat and what not to eat if you have dental braces, and other suggestions to keep in mind when eating with braces.
That’s what I’m doing rn . Yesterday I got my braces and I’m in major pain. I tried eating yogurt today but plain yogurt even tasted weird and I can’t eat anything since when I eat my teeth come together and sends sharp pain
*“Bon Appetite” more like “non appetite”* update: don’t worry you guys will definitely sit through this journey well, i’m left with 2 months before braces removal it’s been 2 years for me and trust me youre teeth will luv you for aligning them & trusting the process hehe! :-) sending luvs & hugs ❤️
It's okay, I can assure you that after you get them off, you will miss them :) it sounds crazy, I know, however, its so fun to look at the pictures when you have them on :) wish you patience! And remember that after you get them off, your smile will be perrrrfect !
Even if there is pain, you will come out with a pretty smile and there is some people who can’t afford braces, so please be grateful for the braces you have, and yes I know the pain is unbearable.
i came here because I CANT CHEW edit: this is a month later now, for those of you who are having a hard time chewing with your braces rn, believe me it gets better.
Sliqq is de4d? OMG THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I WAS. but just trust me, it will get better. for the first week, try to stick with yogurts, soups, you know soft foods. it really helps. and cold drinks help soothe the pain. :) you can dm on ig if you have anymore questions though!!!! @w.oahwoah
I was crying when I didn’t know how to eat food with braces on but my mom taught me how and she cut some pizza up for me and it was really nice I ❤️ my mom 🙂
Hello this is a message from someone who has has braces for a little while now (6 months) and I want you all who are getting them they really aren’t bad after a while. I’ll be honest the first few weeks I couldn’t even bite down let alone chew after getting them on but after a few weeks I slowly began eating normally again. Another thing is people describe braces as extremely painful throughout the whole process, but so far in my experience 99% of the time my mouth isn’t hurting and it only does hurt after I get them tightened. For eating, in this video it was explained that you first of all need to cut all of your food, for example a sandwich, for me personally I have never even thought of cutting a sandwich and is able to eat one just fine with my braces. I just wanted anyone reading this who’s going to get braces soon or just got there’s on it gets better as you go and this video is over exaggerating how eating food is going to be like (I recommend to just listen to your orthodontist recommendations)
@@FluffyFrigginFox I now have my braces off, but when my mouth was dying with braces the best foods to eat (in my opinion) was Mac n cheese, soup, icecream, scrambled eggs or just anything soft like that
Seeing these comments about people relating to how difficult it is to eat is hilarious and makes me feel better about having braces and being in constant pain until it wears off
@@sree6791 haha don't worry, its 8 weeks until my braces will be finished. soon for you, it'll feel like your teeth are normal (no pain). it only hurts after they tighten ur braces, but everytime they do it, it hurts for less time. for example after the first time u get them tightened, it'll hurt for like 2 days then the next time, maybe a day next time, maybe a day again after that its like a few hours at most
@@roku6194 thank you! For replying i was cursing at myself for wanting them today..i cud just eat bread with milk 🥲🥲🥲🥲😭🤡...honestly what you said..makes me feel better..few more days and..i ll be okay..btw..one of the bracket idk what they are called..one of the metal peice glued to my teeth is loose like its shaky..when i brush my teeth..😭😭
Food is so difficult with braces it makes me not want to eat cause after every meal I have to floss it takes me 8 minutes to finish a chicken nugget anyone else with braces have food struggles
Yes instead of taking me 8 min to finish a nugget I had to like rip it down to little pieces and almost scream cuz of the pain so like one tiny piece of nugget took like 10 minutes
HELPFUL TIP: when eating your first meal after braces, do not chew like you normally do. chew softly. Like BARELY chew! Your teeth are really tender and are under a lot of pressure and your not used to it, and your teeth haven't made their first movements yet, so you need to start gentle. If you chew "hard" like you do without braces, your teeth on your upper teeth will smack in to your lower teeth and when your new to braces this hurts like f$@k. I highly recommend your first meal after braces be something not chewable, like yo gurt, apple sauce, that type of stuff. My first meal was mac and cheese and I tried to chew it and it hurt like f@$k because I wasn't given any advice Edit: braces are scheduled off next visit!
When you just got braces, you’ve just gotta learn that chewing is not an option. It goes in your mouth and down your throat. edit: hey guys thanks for the likes maybe drop a sub?? 🥸
I got them today and of course my first meal was McDonald's chicken nuggets haha I legit could not figure out how to eat it lol I ended up eating it like a rabbit and it took me like an hour😂
I went for nuggets too thinking they'd be easy to eat, but it took me half an hour to eat them and the chips were cold by the time I got to them so threw them out. normally I would devour that meal in 5-10minutes
I had my braces yesterday and all I do is to swallow. I can't chew! I need to cut everything into like 1/4's of everything! Plus the steam I get and the excess wires that hurts like hell! I just grind the food with my tounge by pushing it upwards!
Comment section is full of people with first day of braces. Guys, calm down. We all experience it the first day. I sure did too. But it gets better over time. Don't worry about it. I just ate 2 hamburgers and it wasn't that hard. It's not gonna always be like this.
Yeah, I think I was an early bird when getting used to it. Not feeling much pain (since I guess my body was fine with it since I had something I slept with before) . Honestly, it's just a minor annoyance.
stranger. fiona I have 2 tips you can cut your food up to very small pieces (but ain't nobody got time for that) what I did I swallowed my food too😓 it's hard for the first few days but your teeth will get use to your braces soon enough and you will be able to eat properly 😉
@@FluffyFrigginFox they will eventually get better, im still struggling with them a bit but you know its better suffering for a year or two rather than having to live off with bad teeth and never laughing/smiling trying to hide your teeth away
Braces don't hurt most of the time! You'll only experience the pain at the starting of getting your braces and whenever you go for a monthly dentist appointment! So please don't worry! You'll be fine and remember that everything is worth!
Same. I am still at the beggining, tho but i feel really bad when one of my friends or a family member eats something that i am not allowed to. I have lost some pounds since then, and because i have a fast metabolism, i am struggling to gain a few kg. It's soo frustrating lol
Ráchael woahh nice. good luck girl,😃😃 you can do it! you would feel a lot of pressure in your teeth but only stand in the 1st week of getting it, but after that, you'd feel normal..👌
hey it's me thanks for the tip, luckily I didn't get them yesterday though but I currently have removable braces and she tightened them so I'm still in pain /:
I got braces yesterday and had a soft cookie right after and the bracket on the molar (I think it's a molar) came out 😭 biting my food has been hard, I'm afraid another one is going to come off. I basically just swallow most of it. What did I get myself into lol but I know it'll be worth it at the end. I'm finally going to smile without covering my mouth.
I’m on day three and was starting to worry I’d have to survive off soft foods for two years. Tips on what you can eat for the first few days: oatmeal, peanut butter, apple sauce, soups, mashed potatoes, pudding, yogurt
I had leftover goulash in the fridge and I turned it into a REALLY tasty soup by just pureeing it in the food processor and adding another bouillon cube. It was so good my husband finished it up (which kinda got on my nerves, because HE has choices! 🤣🤣)
I got my braces yesterday and today I had pizza with my friend, but even when I cut it up every time I chewed it felt like my teeth were gonna fall out oml im in so much pain rn, help..
My dad bought Wendy’s, and told me it should be easy to chew. It took me 10 minutes to eat 3 chicken nuggets, the worst part is feeling like you always get something stuck in your brackets.
just wanted to check why I feel so much of pain and I'm feeling relaxed (infact happy) getting to know that it's okay and normal after getting braces... 🙂 we all can do this 💙
I just got my braces yesterday, now I have a new found respect for people who have on their braces for years. Also my relatives bought pizza and I'm thriving through the pain (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
God help me, i just got my lower braces on but i cant eat even soft foods because the back teeth of my upper jaw keeps biting ON my BRACKET so it will fall of.
This is my first day of what is expected to be a 1.5 year journey... Eating is really harder than I thought especially because I have some degree of deep bite.. But still I'm really excited to see how it goes... I'm 27 I just had them put on today, my dentist told me I should've come years ago to correct my deep bite... ×_×
First day here, and I'm pretty sure I just lost a bracket from hamburger meat🤦♂️ Eating isn't so painful so far, but the dentist and assistants were telling me to prepare for soreness and sharing their stories lol
@@aqueousconch1103 it has been two weeks since I had them.. The first 3 days were the worst. The inside of my lips was hurting until I used "braces wax" (not sure if this is what it is called) to cover the pointy areas of the braces to prevent them from rubbing against my lips... it really helped for a day or two, but after that I didn't need them at all because I think my lips adapted to the braces Food was a challenge and still kinda.. You can't bite at all, you have to cut your food into little pieces and push them directly towards your molar teety to chew them ( for me I can only chew with my left molars only, the right ones hurt) God I wrote too much didn't I 😅
@@aqueousconch1103 Yeah that's y I ate hamburger without chewing them...just swallowed it and I didn't enjoy eating at all And ofc I gave up and just ate the half eventhough it wasn't painful it was just so uncomfortable and my tongue did hurt bcz of the little piece inside my mouth which was the most annoying part This is my first day
@@ashwikakochar3954 The first two to three days are the hardest... Just try to cut food into small pieces and chew with your molar teeth And try not to bite with your front teeth And don't worry, it will get easier with time
Only the first week when u first got your braces and the first week of whenever you retighten your braces are gonna hurt badly to the point where you can't bite things properly. After ur done with that first week, you can eat fairly normal again!! I really only avoid chewing gums, biting a whole apple, or eating things that are superrr hard to bite. I can eat burgers normally, ribs, crunchy fried food, peanuts, and other things normally too, so dont be scared :)
@@thebigogamer9808 i really am not!! like i said above only the first week of whenever i retighten my braces that they are gonna hurt, after that my teeth dont hurt anymore hence I can bite into things normally :) although it is pretty annoying to clean afterward bc the food get stuck in between but I just clean thoroughly 🤣
I've had braces for 4 weeks, and anyone who has them, you'll get used to them. They aren't that bad. They might hurt at first but then the pain goes away. You might get headaches like i do and some ibuprofen will help with the pain.
@@hisoyuno omg hey, no i haven’t gotten them off yet 😭 my bottom teeth are pretty straight tho it’s rlly just my top teeth. march of next year will be 3 years since i got them!
@@nevaeh9331 how long until they come off? I got mine two years ago and im hoping to take them off in the next few months. I've asked my orthodontist to tighten it more so hopefully i can get them off quicker but now i can't even mew on my food without being in pain..
I survived 2 teeth extractions but i don't think i can bear this sheer pain after i got my elastics put on with my braces. Its like every inch of my head felt the pain. I couldn't eat speak or even drink properly for a week. After a week, you think pain would go away but you just have to accept your fate and get used to it.
I had braces for 5 years and got them off a few months ago. So liberating. I don’t have to pick my molar wire with my tongue to get rid of excess food anymore!
@@kookicutie420 yeah they suck for the first month or so but you get used to them, like a new pair of shoes ya know? The worst part of having them was accidentally slicing the inside of my mouth open because multiple times the wires were exposed and were really sharp. You’ll get through it! 👍
Am here at the 2nd day of putting my braces as I am not able to chew properly its really painful..I just realise it down to throat without chewing it and that makes me cry.. Seeing the comments i feel a positive energy and i will share my experience after a month lol
Just got them yesterday + stoppers to fix my overbite and I have to swallow everything and just press my food against the roof of my mouth with my tongue to crush it
First month is a living hell, we all agree, but after 1 year of having braces i cand proudly say ive become a pro at eating. It feels literally the same like before i got braces
I’ve had my braces for 2 months and have gotten so much better eating with them. At first I could barely eat a noodle, but now I can eat steak as long as I cut it up. Still can’t really bite into anything, so I have to carry a set of utensils with me everywhere 😂
This is my first day with braces. Already eat a banana (cut into 100 pieces), a couple spoons of rice and 5 grams of chicken successfully. It's gonna be easy.
I'm a few days in and still only managing to eat hopes and prayers! One thing I will say is to drink hot drinks with a straw, that helps, unless it's scalding hot and you burn out your throat hole. Then you got bigger problems than pain from braces!
the thing is, it hurts everywhere no matter how soft the Food is. I got braces 2 days ago and all I have eaten in two days is porridge, 1/4 of a Loaf (a single piece not the entire thing), 1/8 of a hotdog bread and much water. I am starving but I cant eat help
I just got my braces yesterday and i can eat dinne r just fine yesterday rice and. Roasted chiken, now im struggling to even chew a fried egg dis morning
It becomes a habit of mine not to chew foods even at the back of my mouth, so I only chew foods 2-3x and crush the foods with my tongue but still, brackets keeps coming off.
Problem:I can chew it with my Back teath because they did something there, so that I can't close my mouth how it used to, and it hurts like hell when biting there.

i can't even chew rice. my teeth hurts so bad evertime i do it. i could only eat porridge😭😭😭 is that normal for new braces user like me???
hey it's me getting my bottom braces tommorow. pray for me?
Ráchael woahh nice. good luck girl,😃😃 you can do it! you would feel a lot of pressure in your teeth but only stand in the 1st week of getting it, but after that, you'd feel normal..👌
hey it's me thanks for the tip, luckily I didn't get them yesterday though but I currently have removable braces and she tightened them so I'm still in pain /:
Hey It's Me24 do you feel normal now
yep that's normal. It took me 3 hours to eat noodles on the first day of braces and the pain was unbearable.
I got braces yesterday and had a soft cookie right after and the bracket on the molar (I think it's a molar) came out 😭 biting my food has been hard, I'm afraid another one is going to come off. I basically just swallow most of it. What did I get myself into lol but I know it'll be worth it at the end. I'm finally going to smile without covering my mouth.
How is it going so far
I’m on day three and was starting to worry I’d have to survive off soft foods for two years. Tips on what you can eat for the first few days: oatmeal, peanut butter, apple sauce, soups, mashed potatoes, pudding, yogurt
peanut butter isn't good because it is sticky and can get stuck in between your brackets.
I had leftover goulash in the fridge and I turned it into a REALLY tasty soup by just pureeing it in the food processor and adding another bouillon cube. It was so good my husband finished it up (which kinda got on my nerves, because HE has choices! 🤣🤣)
I got my braces yesterday and today I had pizza with my friend, but even when I cut it up every time I chewed it felt like my teeth were gonna fall out oml im in so much pain rn, help..
Be grateful you actually have friends, idiot
ZigzagNemesis T ummm ok
ZigzagNemesis T Why are you mad? He was hanging out with his friend and his teeth hurt because of his braces what is wrong with you?
@@zigzagnemesist5074 u sound miserable
@@zigzagnemesist5074 lmfao 💀💀
my brother bought burger King after I had my braces. This is my hell
Well mine ate chicken wings infront of me like bruh thats my favorite food! 😒
Oml sadness you should cut it up
Fork And spoon same I like roast chicken I eat it by cutting it
What a nice brother you have
My mom bought KFC after I got my braces. Same.
My dad bought Wendy’s, and told me it should be easy to chew. It took me 10 minutes to eat 3 chicken nuggets, the worst part is feeling like you always get something stuck in your brackets.
just wanted to check why I feel so much of pain and I'm feeling relaxed (infact happy) getting to know that it's okay and normal after getting braces... 🙂
we all can do this 💙
jus got mine on
Got my braces yesterday how wth yo
got braces to the lower teeth .... pain af
@@gangadharpavan for me no pain
@@sunintheeast3881 same im waiting for the pain everyone talks about
it took me 5 minutes to eat two bites of pizza
It took me like an hour to eat a salad
I just got my braces yesterday, now I have a new found respect for people who have on their braces for years. Also my relatives bought pizza and I'm thriving through the pain (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
Does this mean I can have chocolate, then? It wasn't on the list..
Edit: Thank you all for the advice! My braces were removed last year. ❤
thank god. chocolate is my favorite food
Just kooky it's sweet and kinda hard
Only soft ones.
Cut it into small pieces. Or melt it and put it on ice cream 😊
Just kooky I think you can but you have to put the chocolate in the microwave so its soft
God help me, i just got my lower braces on but i cant eat even soft foods because the back teeth of my upper jaw keeps biting ON my BRACKET so it will fall of.

Makaveli Mix omfg same i got mine yesterday. can you chew food cuz my brackets feel like they will fall off even tho theyre solid. i need to know.
Eat soup and use your toungue to squish things on the roof of your mouth
SAME omg I just got them today and I’m dealing with the same problem
Thats fucking common problem of us all...
It hurts even more when everyone eating good tasty food but you can't even eat it cause of pain 😭
This is my first day of what is expected to be a 1.5 year journey... Eating is really harder than I thought especially because I have some degree of deep bite..
But still I'm really excited to see how it goes... I'm 27 I just had them put on today, my dentist told me I should've come years ago to correct my deep bite... ×_×
First day here, and I'm pretty sure I just lost a bracket from hamburger meat🤦♂️
Eating isn't so painful so far, but the dentist and assistants were telling me to prepare for soreness and sharing their stories lol
@@aqueousconch1103 it has been two weeks since I had them..
The first 3 days were the worst. The inside of my lips was hurting until I used "braces wax" (not sure if this is what it is called) to cover the pointy areas of the braces to prevent them from rubbing against my lips... it really helped for a day or two, but after that I didn't need them at all because I think my lips adapted to the braces
Food was a challenge and still kinda..
You can't bite at all, you have to cut your food into little pieces and push them directly towards your molar teety to chew them ( for me I can only chew with my left molars only, the right ones hurt)
God I wrote too much didn't I 😅
@@aqueousconch1103
Yeah that's y I ate hamburger without chewing them...just swallowed it and I didn't enjoy eating at all
And ofc I gave up and just ate the half eventhough it wasn't painful it was just so uncomfortable and my tongue did hurt bcz of the little piece inside my mouth which was the most annoying part
This is my first day
I just got my top brackets put on like just now and im hungry and i dont know exactly what to eat someone help
@@ashwikakochar3954
The first two to three days are the hardest...
Just try to cut food into small pieces and chew with your molar teeth
And try not to bite with your front teeth
And don't worry, it will get easier with time
Only the first week when u first got your braces and the first week of whenever you retighten your braces are gonna hurt badly to the point where you can't bite things properly. After ur done with that first week, you can eat fairly normal again!! I really only avoid chewing gums, biting a whole apple, or eating things that are superrr hard to bite. I can eat burgers normally, ribs, crunchy fried food, peanuts, and other things normally too, so dont be scared :)
you lying, you must be kidding, TELL ME YOUR JOKING ABOUT BEING ABLE TO EAT BURGERS NORMALLY HOWWWWWWWWW???!!!
@@thebigogamer9808 i really am not!! like i said above only the first week of whenever i retighten my braces that they are gonna hurt, after that my teeth dont hurt anymore hence I can bite into things normally :) although it is pretty annoying to clean afterward bc the food get stuck in between but I just clean thoroughly 🤣
I've had braces for 4 weeks, and anyone who has them, you'll get used to them. They aren't that bad. They might hurt at first but then the pain goes away. You might get headaches like i do and some ibuprofen will help with the pain.
I have this blue stuff on the back of my teeth so I can’t even chew 😭
I have it but they didn't tell me I can't chew.
omg i have those too! i absolutely cannot chew
Omg SAME I got mine yesterday. How do I manage 😫
U mean spacers?
If yes then u must know that it's still easier than braces soo
Bro it hurts so fricking bad and I'm literally on tears due to the pain.
Same. Unlike others my follow up keeps getting worse and my dentist said will be even double or triple worse every visit.
i literally put peanuts in a blender, and ate the peanut powder that way
you are my idol
Modest that actually....sounds kinda good
You are a genius
I blended my past so I could just drink. It
Same here😂😂
It hurts when I eat with my back teeth though ..
HEY! its been two years have u got them off?
@@hisoyuno omg hey, no i haven’t gotten them off yet 😭 my bottom teeth are pretty straight tho it’s rlly just my top teeth. march of next year will be 3 years since i got them!
@@nevaeh9331 don't worry they will come off
@@nevaeh9331 wow I’m surprised you actually commented back after 2 yrs. most people don’t.
@@nevaeh9331 how long until they come off? I got mine two years ago and im hoping to take them off in the next few months. I've asked my orthodontist to tighten it more so hopefully i can get them off quicker but now i can't even mew on my food without being in pain..
I survived 2 teeth extractions but i don't think i can bear this sheer pain after i got my elastics put on with my braces. Its like every inch of my head felt the pain. I couldn't eat speak or even drink properly for a week. After a week, you think pain would go away but you just have to accept your fate and get used to it.
I had braces for 5 years and got them off a few months ago. So liberating. I don’t have to pick my molar wire with my tongue to get rid of excess food anymore!
5 year .........😦😶
@@kookicutie420 yup 5 years. Got em in 5th grade and got em out beginning of junior year. It sucked but at least my smile is great
@@user-el6lt8fr3x wow that's great 😁
It's been a two week that I get my braces ....I already started to give-up😅😅
@@kookicutie420 yeah they suck for the first month or so but you get used to them, like a new pair of shoes ya know? The worst part of having them was accidentally slicing the inside of my mouth open because multiple times the wires were exposed and were really sharp. You’ll get through it! 👍
@@user-el6lt8fr3x thanks for a little talk about braces 😁😁
Am here at the 2nd day of putting my braces as I am not able to chew properly its really painful..I just realise it down to throat without chewing it and that makes me cry.. Seeing the comments i feel a positive energy and i will share my experience after a month lol
Just got them yesterday + stoppers to fix my overbite and I have to swallow everything and just press my food against the roof of my mouth with my tongue to crush it
I'm in the same position as u ( second day with braces ) u got them 5 years ago, any tips?
@@fgrade293hey man it’s been 8 months, do you have still braces?
I'm getting braces tomorrow and this has helped me so much. Thank you.
I got my braces yesterday, and it hurts like crazy, but some of these comments have made my day better :)
A week after getting my braces my headass was eating all this
First month is a living hell, we all agree, but after 1 year of having braces i cand proudly say ive become a pro at eating. It feels literally the same like before i got braces
Your voice is so calming
Thank you so much, it helped me a lot.
I’ve had my braces for 2 months and have gotten so much better eating with them. At first I could barely eat a noodle, but now I can eat steak as long as I cut it up. Still can’t really bite into anything, so I have to carry a set of utensils with me everywhere 😂
This didn't help at all this is why the dentist said and I followed this lease tips but I can't eat ANYTHING it suck this is a living hell
Sucks *
Im eating soft pasta and its a struggle for me ;_;
Ikr
Yes! Braces suck so much! You can't eat anything good, they hurt, and you have to wear them too long!! 😡😭
yeah, I'm eating baked beans, yogurts and that sorta stuff which are foods that are OK but not my favorite
This video helped me to change some of my misconceptions about diet after braces
I get it! Thanks for teaching me the animated video of how to eat with braces with the back teeth 🦷 Keep up the good work. 😉
POV: you shoved food in your mouth and it gets stuck in there so you are watching this video
I'm getting them Wednesday I'm scared AF
Thank you! This video really helped me eat with my braces!
Thank you this is helpful ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
This is my first day with braces. Already eat a banana (cut into 100 pieces), a couple spoons of rice and 5 grams of chicken successfully. It's gonna be easy.
Theres always pieces of foods stuck between and inside my braces ugh😡😡😡
Got mine just an hour ago and it’s killing me soflty
As a lover of hard food who doesn't like getting knifes dirty when unneccesary this feels like a sentence :')
I'm a few days in and still only managing to eat hopes and prayers! One thing I will say is to drink hot drinks with a straw, that helps, unless it's scalding hot and you burn out your throat hole. Then you got bigger problems than pain from braces!
😂😂😂
Just got mine a week ago. I'm sykk having hard time learning to eat. I'm tied of soft foods and soups.
I’m watching so many of these omg
Please make a video on how to eat with the blue bight blocks or a expander 😭 I have all three of these currently
Also I meant bite*
"you won't have to change your diet too drastically"
Bruh I've eaten like 2 cups of apple sauce in the past 3 days
1:30 "Avoid chewing on non-food items"
Are you challenging me???!😭😢
Just got mine today going to come back to this when they get taken out
Thanks!♥️
This is a REALLY stupid question but can I still lick takis😂😂😂😂
HOYYYAAA AnGiE lol I'm pretty sure, I love doing that
I mean.. As long as it doesn't make your brackets fell off, why not?
Lol same i got my yesterday day and I was sooooooo hungry but you know I will just starv😃
@@nightappleisposinapple8643 I’m getting mines next week pray for me !!
Well I guess I'm loosing a lot of wait
How's the condition now?
Weight ****
So you cant wait now
@@stuff6585 he starved to death
@@shivamsrivastava6312 haan bhai aisa hi lag raha hai
Tyy I have braces and this was super helpful
Thank you very much
”A few hours” YOU MEAN A FEW DAYS!😭
the thing is, it hurts everywhere no matter how soft the Food is. I got braces 2 days ago and all I have eaten in two days is porridge, 1/4 of a Loaf (a single piece not the entire thing), 1/8 of a hotdog bread and much water. I am starving but I cant eat help
I just got my braces on and I don’t really chew, I use my tongue to separate the things I eat into like strands and it’s easy to eat them
I’ve had braces for a year so far. I got another power chain put on yesterday and it hurts 😃
Just got mine installed. Seems like I’m not the only one taking extra long to eat. 😂
Is it normal for my top front teeth to hit against my bottom brace on my bottom teeth? Recently got my braces in so I’m just wondering
I just got my braces yesterday and i can eat dinne r just fine yesterday rice and. Roasted chiken, now im struggling to even chew a fried egg dis morning
It becomes a habit of mine not to chew foods even at the back of my mouth, so I only chew foods 2-3x and crush the foods with my tongue but still, brackets keeps coming off.
I can't go a minute without thinking about the pain and soreness
Man I hate braces. I can't eat pizza or hamburgers
I'm sure you can
you can, just avoid the hard crust. if you tear it into small pieces and chew with your back teeth you'll be fine
Shaun Gordon what about curry??
I was advised not to eat curry only cause I have clear ceramics and it could stain them. normal metal ones should be fine though I would have thought
whats ceramic?? and i was the thinking i might get dark blue or blue colour for my braces and will that stain it???
when i drink water it hurts and it feels weird lol but i also got them today so
i know the first week or two are the worst
Problem:I can chew it with my Back teath because they did something there, so that I can't close my mouth how it used to, and it hurts like hell when biting there.
