Top Foods to Eat and Avoid with Braces from Dentists on Vincent

Orthodontic treatments can definitely bring about a lot of changes!

Not only will you look a little different, but you may also find that your teeth don’t touch the same way they did before, affecting your chew.

As your treatment progresses and your teeth gradually move towards their optimal positions, your mouth will continue to adapt to biting and chewing in a more natural way.

Although many patients find they’re able to eat most foods within a month of getting their braces on, certain food restrictions will continue throughout your orthodontic journey.

Check out our list of foods that are good for braces and foods that your braces might hate for chewing.
