Foods that cannot be cleaned off the braces may lead to discoloration and decay of your teeth. Even though our braces and wires are metal, they are fragile and are usually damaged by eating the wrong foods, thus taking us longer to finish our treatment

* caramels
* Sugar Daddies / Sugar Babies
* Starbursts
* carameled apples
* licorice
* Now & Laters
* Tootsie Rolls
* gummy bears

NO HARD FOODS:

* nuts
* Doritos
* hard candy
* bagels
* apples & carrots (unless cooked or cut small)
* corn on the cob
* pizza crusts
* ice
* hard pretzels
* jerky

MINIMIZE SUGAR INTAKE
