Well, that's an interesting comment. With fixed braces,
if you are appropriately careful, you can still pretty much eat what you like. And
unlike with Invisalign, you
can eat when you like, because you are not limited to managing your eatingt such that you are only eating and cleaning for 2 hours or so per day. When you are eating, your braces are still working. And when you are cleaning your teeth, your braces are still working. The longer I was in braces, the more my "halo slipped" and I'd eat more and more things I was told were no-nos. Oh, I was always careful - I always took care with harder foods not to pop a bracket, and I always took meticulous care to clean up adequately after any meal or snack. But bottom line is that I could eat whenever and however often I chose, and I could drink hot drinks whenever I chose. For me, it woulod have been a sacrifice not to be able to spend an hour on my morning latte.
