Can someone tell me how long will it take for me to be able to eat solid foods again after getting braces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 days: You can eat solid foods now, but understand that a lot of chewing is uncomfortable. My own daughter had braces put on last year. 2-3 days of soups and pastas-- we had steak by the 3rd night.
