take care with eating, take it slow and keep the braces in check.

no caramel, taffey type candy, no biting candied apples or hard candy.....corn tends to get stuck and so does broccoli, so check those teeth before you smile big and embarrass yourself! Brush and continue to floss after eating if at all possible. I found using a waterpik helpful. Continue to brush and floss, maybe ask about using a proxy brush, its great for getting in between hard to reach areas...now remember I had braces almost 35 years ago, but I rmember what my daughter had to go through! Hope his helps some....good luck and heres to good oral hygiene! FGM

Its called a proxy brush and Thank You PamJane for the great advice! I NEVER leave home wihtout one! Nevr knew they had a cookbook, where was this 35 years ago????? Welcome to eHealth! FGM

I had a really good ortho guy for my braces when i got them, and i laugh at the people whos braces ACTUALLY fall off!
People may have already told you, no corn on the cob unless you take it off the cob thing..., no apples unless you cut it up, anddd.....when brushing your teeth, brush your gums, the top of the braces, and the bottom. dont just brush on the face of the braces, do the sides too. it will help if you get crap stuck in them.
