Please suggest on what to eat after having braces?
Q. My son just had braces placed yesterday and is having trouble finding things to eat because he can’t chew and it’s painful, therefore, he’s been going hungry. Can u offer any ideas for some foods he can try, especially at school, so he doesn’t starve himself to death??
A. The first two weeks are the toughest getting used to all the wires! Soft foods are best soups and pastas seem to be most popular. Some painkillers initally can help, ask for orthodontist for tooth wax that goes over the braces to stop them rubbing.
