Foods to Avoid With Braces

Cooked or Soft Vegetables, Seafood, Paste & Wheat

A healthy diet [3] must include veggies on a daily basis. To avoid breaking or bending the wires or brackets of your braces, just make sure they are cooked or mushy before you eat them.

Another excellent way to include protein in your diet without endangering your braces is seafood. However, you should be cautious of any bones or shellfish.

With braces, pasta is a simple food to consume. Just make sure the other components aren’t too tough or chewy.

While wearing braces, you can eat soft cooked rice and other cooked grains. Select these soft carbohydrates [4] instead of bread or dinner rolls, which are chewier or harder.
