Diet management is important for protecting appliances. We suggest avoiding sticky, hard, or chewy foods that can break brackets or wires.

Parents can help by modeling healthy eating habits and encouraging children to make thoughtful food choices that support both their oral health and the longevity of their orthodontic treatment.
