Braces can limit food choices, particularly when it comes to candy. Soft candies like chocolate bars and sugar-free gum are safe, but hard candies and overly sticky sweets can damage brackets. Sour candies can wear down tooth enamel due to their acidic nature. Other foods to avoid include hard candies like jawbreakers, sticky taffy, and popcorn kernels that can loosen braces. Additionally, sugary drinks contribute to tooth decay, making it essential to brush teeth afterward.
Soft candies like chocolate bars and sugar-free gum are safe for wearers of braces, but hard and sticky candies can cause damage or get stuck.
While braces help in straightening teeth, certain foods, especially hard candies and sticky ones, can damage them, leading to costly repairs and tooth decay.
