What can people eat if they have braces?

[Joeycat]

I never had braces, but my friend does. What are some of the things you can/cannot eat with braces? Would you be able to eat nachos? Or Churros? Or a corn dog?

I have braces. when I got them put on the dentist gave me a whole list of things not to eat, which consisted of mainly sugary food and drinks but also some odd things like apples which suposedly could push them off or something like that. However I have found that I can eat pretty much anything toffee is a bit of a problem because it gets stuck and some hard thing are a bit harder to bite but appart from that it's like they aren't there :D

You can eat pretty much anything once you get use to having them on, so I wouldn't worry about it. But, make sure you remember to check your teeth every once and a while to make sure things don't get stuck in them.

i got mine off like, three months ago, but I ate everything normally with em on. It was just a hassle to clean afterwards, but the cure to that is to not smile or talk ;]

I had braces, they tell you all kinds of crap you aren't supposed to eat but really it's not thaaat extreme. I ate pretty much whatever I wanted. Now-And-Laters were about the only thing I would steer clear of and those are anything short of a sweet fruit flavored tooth extraction on their own.

You can eat whatever you want. The only thing I'd advise against is something that could bend or break the wires. Like biting into a whole apple, or caramel. It's better to cut food up into smaller bites though.
