Foods To Avoid

Please do not eat HARD foods: nuts, crisp taco shells, whole apples and carrots (cut them into pieces first), hard french bread crust and rolls, spareribs, corn on the cob (cut the corn off the cob before eating), and popcorn! These foods risk breaking brackets and wires.

Please do not eat STICKY foods: taffy, caramels, bubble gum, or sticky candy of any sort. Use common sense about most foods.

Please avoid BAD HABITS: nail biting, pen or pencil chewing, or chewing on ice cubes. These can damage your braces!
