For
most situations, common sense will tell you what to avoid. Hard
foods, sticky foods and foods high in sugar must be avoided.
Hard foods can break or damage wires and brackets. Sticky foods
can get caught between brackets and wires. Minimize sugary foods;
they cause tooth decay and related problems. Nail biting, pencil
and pen chewing, and chewing on foreign objects should be avoided.
Examples of Sticky Foods to Avoid
- Gum (sugar-free or regular)

Soda
Decalcification is an etching that occurs to the tooth enamel
and is permanent. The acid found in soda pop, high amounts of
sugar in the diet, and improper cleaning will all result in
the decalcification process occurring.
It’s important to regularly check your braces for bent or loose
wires and brackets. In the event of a loose/broken wire or bracket,
call our office immediately to arrange an appointment for repair.
