Foods that should be avoided during orthodontics are:
Excellent food, such as nuts, hard candy, popcorn, hard biscuits, hard candy, shells and shrimp shells. We should also pay attention to avoid bad habits such as biting pens and nails, which will lead to loosening and deformation of orthodontic appliances and affect orthodontics.
Too sticky food, such as toffee, maltose, biscuits, chewing gum should be chewed without sugar. Because these will stick the appliance and the correction line together, causing displacement.
Excessive food, such as whole apples and carrots, should be cut into small pieces before eating.
Too sweet foods, such as candy, biscuits, cola, juice and other high-sugar foods that may cause dental caries, should be avoided as much as possible, and fruits and vegetables can be chosen instead. If you really can't help eating, you must brush your teeth and floss correctly in time. In addition, chewing gum should be avoided as much as possible, because chewing gum is very sticky, which is easy to attach not only to teeth, but also to appliances, which makes it difficult to clean teeth and appliances.
