A member asked:

Please suggest what foods should i avoid with my braces?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"The Food List": Foods to avoid with braces include hard, sticky and chewy consistencies. Popcorn is also a problem as the hulls get stuck in the gums and are hard to remove with braces on. Popcorn hulls result in gum swelling and eventual infection. It is kinda like following the rules of the road, if you do, you arrive quickly and efficiently at your goal of a beautiful and healthy smile.
