EATING HABITS THAT NEED TO STOP!

* ICE

*CORN CHIPS

*POPCORN

*HARD EDGES OF PIZZA

*HARD CANDY - Any food that's hard to bite could break your braces!

*GUM (especially bubble gum)

*STICKY CANDY (caramels, taffy) - Any food that's really sticky could loosen or dislodge your braces!

*DO NOT SUCK ON LEMONS, LIMES OR ICE!

 

EATING HABITS THAT MUST YIELD!

*WHOLE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
...such as apples and carrots, should be sliced and eaten very carefully.

*HARD, CRUSTY BREADS
...should be broken and eaten in small pieces.

*CORN CHIPS AND POTATO CHIPS
...require special care too.

*FRESH CORN
...should be sliced off the cob.

USE COMMON SENSE WHEN CHOOSING FOOD TO PUT IN YOUR MOUTH AND KEEP ALL HARD OBJECTS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!
