Choosing to get braces is a big decision that involves an investment in time and money.
Additionally, wearing braces requires certain lifestyle changes and mindfulness when it comes to oral hygiene, diet, and upkeep.
Certain foods, such as nuts, popcorn, hard candy, crunchy foods, hard and sticky foods, apples and carrots can loosen bands and brackets and can bend wires.
Bends in wires may result in the teeth shifting in undesirable directions.
Avoid chewing on ice, as it can cause brackets to pop off of your teeth.
