Sarah Burns Orthodontics: Removable Braces



	Can I eat normally? Yes, you should be able to eat normally. It is important you keep the brace in whilst eating unless you are otherwise instructed. Although it may be difficult at first, eating with the brace in place will become easier with time. After each meal remove the brace and rinse it thoroughly. For your orthodontic treatment to work well and in the shortest possible time it is important to take care of your teeth and brace. In order to avoid damage to both, you should avoid the following: • Toffees, boiled sweets, sugared chewing gum, chocolate bars, etc. • Fizzy drinks including diet drinks, excessive amounts of fruit juice. • Hard foods, which might damage the brace such as crunchy apples, crusty bread rolls, etc. Hard foods can be eaten with care if you cut them up first.
