Are there dietary restrictions that come with braces?
In general, clients can enjoy many of their favorite foods, although dentists recommend softer foods in the first week or two after the braces have been installed. Foods that should be avoided are gooey, crunchy, hard and sticky foods, like taffy, caramel, apples, carrots and the like. Gum should also be avoided. A qualified dentist will explain any food restrictions to the client.
