C’est triste, mais il y a certains aliments que vous devez éviter lorsque vous portez un appareil dentaire, même si vous aimez les manger.
Dans certains cas, les aliments ne sont pas bons pour vous de toute façon, vous serez donc en meilleure santé si vous les évitez. Dans d’autres cas, l’aliment pourrait endommager ou
In other cases, the food item could damage or break your wires,
which could cause you pain and require time to repair.
#10: Whole Apples and Other Crunchy Fruits
While apples and slightly unripe pears or nectarines are excellent for your
health, you should never bite into one whole while wearing braces.
Biting off chunks of anything hard with your front teeth could lead to serious wire damage.
We would even expect braces to break. Instead, cut the fruit into wedges or
slices.
#9: Uncooked Vegetables
Like fruit, vegetables are excellent for your health, but biting into large, raw
pieces of a veggie, such as a whole carrot, is asking for trouble.
Avoid eating
raw veggies that are hard, such as carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and celery. You
can still cook them to enjoy their wholesomeness! Cooked vegetable
#8 Foods to Avoid: Popcorn
Popcorn contains hulls, which get stuck in wires and between teeth. Ouch! If you just got to have some popcorn, check out Pirate’s Booty. It’s rice/corn puff snack for braces that is similar to popcorn without the unpopped kernels and hulls.
#7: Chips and Pretzels
They’re popular party fare, but chips and pretzels are a no-no when wearing
braces. Sharp corners and strong crunch are both bad for
wires.
#6: Nuts
Another crunchy snack, nuts can really mess with your braces. Instead, use smooth nut butters.
#5: Hard Rolls and French Bread
Avoid any bread that you have to tear with your teeth or that is ultra-chewy, such
as hard rolls or French bread.
Cut or tear rolls and artisan-style breads into
small, bite-sized pieces before eating, and be sure to use your back teeth to
chew.
#4 Foods to Avoid: Ice
Some people like to chew ice. When you have braces, just don’t. Even if you
don’t have braces, please stop chewing ice.
It’s really bad for your teeth.
#3: Gum
Sugary gum is extremely sticky and will stick to wires and brackets, causing a cleanup nightmare. Most people that use sugar free chewing gum don’t have any braces problems.
#2: Sticky, Hard Candy
Many candy bars and hard candies are terrible for braces. If you “need” some
candy, stick with chocolate.
Make sure it doesn’t have nuts (#6), caramel (#1) or
any other sticky, chewy filling.
#1 Foods to Avoid: Soft Candy
If it’s gooey and sticky, keep it out of your mouth when you’ve got braces on
your teeth. Caramel, gummy bears, soft licorice, and other soft sweets are
notorious for breaking wires.
In addition, these kinds of candies get in under
your braces and can cause serious tooth decay, as they are hard to brush away.
