things to avoid

We do not recommend eating foods that are chewy, hard or crunchy. They can break wires or knock off braces. Sugary foods are a problem too. Sugar is easily trapped by your braces or other appliances. This can cause cavitities. Some foods listed below are those you should avoid:

Chewy or Sticky Foods

Hard or Crunchy Foods

Sugary Foods

If you do eat a sugary food, brush your teeth right away. Don't keep a sugary food or drink in your mouth for a long time. Never suck on a candy or slowly sip a soda. Ask Dr. Kincaid about sugar-free candy or soda.
