How to care for your braces - part 2
The next step in taking care of your braces is avoiding the
foods that can break them or pull them off. Gum is not
recommended. Other foods to avoid are anything that is
sticky, gooey or overly crunchy. Hard foods that you have
to bite with the front teeth can knock off a bracket. Cut up
apples and carrots and other foods like these into small
bite sized pieces. Certain hard candies and sticky candies
should also be avoided. Do not chew on ice. Smoking is
not a good idea when you have braces either, because
when you get the brackets off there will appear a little
white square on every slightly discolored tooth. Bleaching

treatments doesn't always fix this problem, either.

If a bracket does fall off, the orthodontist will attach another bracket.
However, every time the orthodontist has to replace a bracket, it extends the
orthodontic treatment longer. If you swallow a bracket that has fallen off it
is not a serious problem. Brackets are usually made of a medical grade
stainless steel, which just passes through your digestive system
If the orthodontist has installed any orthodontic equipment that you have to
wear or adjust, do it exactly as he says. If you don't you could delay getting
your braces off for months or even a year. If you are wearing rubber bands
to manipulate your bite, change them as prescribed. You should take off
your rubber bands before each meal and put in new ones after you are done
eating. You should also change the rubber bands before you go to bed.
You will be glad you followed your orthodontist's directions exactly when
you get your braces off on time or even early.
