Will I be able to eat anything with braces, even the first few days? 🤔

This is one of the most common doubts when our little patients start orthodontic treatment.

And the truth is that the answer is simple: with braces you can live a normal life and eat almost anything. 🤩

Exceptions are some harder foods, which can be eaten but broken into smaller pieces, such as carrots or apples. 🍎🥕

Just get used to the feeling of wearing braces for the first few days. After that, you won't even remember. 🎈

If you feel like it, offer softer foods for the first few days, such as sliced bread, eggs or dairy products, but ideally you should continue your eating habits as normal.

What you won't be able to do is chew gum or chew sticky sweets, but you know that! 🍬

In any case, you will be able to maintain a healthy and varied diet. What you should not forget is to brush your teeth after every meal. ✔

We take care of how and when to brush their teeth, we explain it to them in an entertaining and easy to remember way.

It is part of our philosophy that they learn to take care and prevent. 💖
