What are the do s and dont s of having a braces? should i refrain from eating cold foods
Q. What are the do’s and dont’s of having a braces? My dentist said that i should refrain from eating cold foods because it will stop the braces from functioning..is this true? Any advice?
A. As with all kinds of braces, patients need to be careful about what they eat. I have read that cold foods such as ice lollies can freeze the cement on te brackets- but I have never come across this myself.
You will need to avoid sugary foods and sticky foods.
Cleaning and maintaing excellent oral hygiene is paramount. Your orthodontist will discuss this further with you, but I would probably take his advice when it comes to the particular appliance that you have.
