Braces Cook Book

When you get your braces on there are certain foods you will need to avoid.  Wearing traditional metal braces will hinder the foods you are able to eat.  The brackets are glued to each tooth and can be broken.  When they break, you need to go to your orthodontist to get fixed and this can delay your treatment, especially if your schedule does not allow you to get there immediately.

There are a few cook books on the market that target braces.  In general you will want to avoid sticky and chewy foods.  Steaks, baby back ribs, etc. are foods that require you to check with all teeth and this potentially can damage the brackets.

If you are using Invisalign, you are in the clear of all foods.  Simply take out your retainers and enjoy your foods.  This technology in orthodontics is truly amazing and makes braces wearers jealous that they didn’t get them.

Find yourself a braces cook book at your local bookstore and make sure you check out Amazon to see what the reviews are on the book.
