To protect your braces and avoid damage, we recommend avoiding:

  • Hard foods (nuts, popcorn, hard candies)
  • Sticky foods (gum, caramel, taffy)
  • Crunchy foods (raw carrots, chips, ice)
  • Chewing on non-food items (pens, fingernails)

With aligners, you can remove them while eating, so there are no food restrictions—but be sure to brush before putting them back in!
