Ask the Orthodontist

The next step in taking care of braces is avoiding the foods that can break
them or pull them off. Gum is not recommended. Do not chew on ice and
avoid hard or sticky candies. Other foods to avoid are again anything that is
sticky, gooey or overly crunchy. Hard foods that you have to bite with the front
teeth can knock off a bracket. To be safe, cut up apples, carrots and other food
like these into small pieces.

How to care for your braces - Part 2

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 and can also prevent obtaining an ideal result. If you swallow
a bracket that has fallen off it is not a serious problem. Brackets are 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/she says. If you don't it could delay getting
your braces off for months. 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 and also
before you go to bed.

Taking proper care of the health of your teeth and protecting your braces is
expected during orthodontic treatment. You will be glad you followed your
orthodontist's directions exactly when you get your braces off on time!
