Foods to Avoid With Braces

During your orthodontic treatment, you will have to modify your diet, but just slightly! Don’t worry, you’ll be eating all your favorite foods again sooner than you think! As a good rule of thumb, it’s best to avoid foods that are chewy, crunchy, sticky, and hard.

  • Chewy food – licorice, chewy candy, bagels
  • Sticky food – caramel, gum
  • Hard food – hard candy, nuts
  • Crunchy food – popcorn, chips
  • Corn on the cob, apples, carrots

Foods You Can Eat With Braces:

  • Breads – tortillas, muffins, soft breads
  • Grains – pasta, rice
  • Dairy – cheese
  • Meat, poultry, seafood
  • Vegetables – potatoes, most cooked veggies
  • Fruits – bananas, applesauce, cut peaches
