How Can I Eat with Braces?
September 23, 2008
I’m getting braces in a few days and I just wanted to know what I should indulge in before they’re on. I’ve already snacked on Swedish Fish… you know, those red gummy fish-shaped candies – delicious! Then there’s popcorn which also gets tangled up in braces. So, I’m thinking I might have some popcorn this week, too. If you can relate to this “last meal” of sorts and have any must-have eats to recommend, I’d love to hear your ideas!
Eat anything sticky that you love! I had braces for two-and-a-half years, and I took a big bite into an apple immediately after I finally got them off! It seems goofy, but you can’t physically bite into an apple with braces. You have to cut it and I totally missed that!
