What Foods Can I Eat With Braces?
You can eat most of the foods you are eating now. However, in order to
minimize breakage of your braces (which could delay completion of your
treatment) you should not eat or chew the following things:
 | Foods containing hard caramels |
| Ice cubes |
| Gummy bears |
| Laffy taffy |
| Corn on the cob |
| Now and laters |
| Sugar babies |
| Sugar daddies |
| Unpopped kernels of corn |
| Tootsie rolls |
| Nuts, or anything with nuts in it |
| Tops of ink pens |
| Jolly Ranchers |
| Granola Bars |
| Granola cereal |
| Hard candy like peppermints |
| Bubble gum or chewing gum |
| Skittles |
| Whole apples |
| Starburst |
This list is not complete; you shouldn't eat anything that is similar to any
of the above items. Thanks!
