When wearing an appliance or a steel wire for the first time, most people will feel pain, and they won't even open their mouths, let alone eat, because the teeth are subjected to corrective force, which changes from a stress-free state to a sudden stress state. Therefore, we should eat soft food in the first two or three days, that is, porridge, noodles and the like. Decide when you can resume eating rice according to your own adaptation.

Foods that should be avoided at ordinary times.

1 excellent food: such as sugarcane, ribs, crabs, popsicles, etc. Ribs, chicken legs, beef jerky, snacks with cores and shells, etc. Because eating these foods requires a lot of effort to bite or chew, it will loosen the appliance, deform the orthodontic wire and affect the movement of teeth.

2 foods that are too sticky, such as maltose, rice cakes, glutinous rice products, chewing gum, glutinous rice products, milk sugar, etc. , will stick to the appliance and orthodontic wire, leading to displacement.

3 High-sugar foods: common snacks such as candy and biscuits. In order to avoid tooth decay, it is best to eat less during orthodontic treatment. If you can't help eating, you must brush your teeth at once. Try not to drink drinks with high sugar content, such as coke, sprite, juice, etc.

Eat more.

① Balanced diet: tooth movement depends on the absorption and deposition of periodontal bone, and a balanced diet is helpful to tooth movement. If the nutrition is not balanced during the treatment, the effect of treatment will be carefully affected, so we should pay more attention to the balance of diet.

2 Eat more fruits and vegetables: take more vitamins to relieve oral ulcers and angular stomatitis. Many friends who wear appliances are more prone to oral ulcers or bad squabbles than ordinary people because they respond to the stimulation of appliances. Therefore, to supplement enough vitamins more consciously, diet therapy is the simplest and most effective method. Lemon, grape, strawberry, mango, watermelon, tomato, cantaloupe, asparagus, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, potato, etc. They are all rich in vitamin C. You might as well eat more.

3 chew slowly and cut into small pieces: the principle of chewing slowly is that there are appliances on the teeth, so it is difficult for anyone to eat freely. Therefore, no matter what food you eat, it is best to chew slowly to avoid biting your teeth or loosening your utensils. If you encounter bitten food such as apples, you'd better cut them into small pieces to avoid biting off utensils.
