Food & braces: Go with softer foods and eat more frequently. Try some milkshakes that have extra protein and calories. Soups, noodles , pudding and ice cream should get you through the next few days.

Braces/Eat: Elen, you will need to be more specific. First of all. it is very normal to have sore teeth for the first few days after the braces are put on. I do not believe it will last the entirety of treatment. Taking normal ibuprofen/acetometaphen can ease the discomfort. The discomfort normally lasts a few days. You will not starve.....Speak to your orthodontist about your "chewing" concerns.
