I got braces yesterday and my teeth hurt like a bitch. What soft foods should I try to eat? Do any of you have braces or have had them? If so, what were your favorite munchies that aren't hard and don't need much chewing?
I had them when i was like 14, i don't really remember what i ate. Probably just a lot of soft foods, also your teeth shouldn't hurt for long, after a day or two you get used to them.
I ate a lot of those little mandarin orange slices from a jar right after I got mine, haha. Soup, yogurt, milkshakes...you'll be fine in a few days. I dunno about munchies though, I found smoking right after I got them made me focus more on how much they hurt, and also I couldn't eat anything I wanted to, which was unpleasant lol.
soups, canned fruit, tea. And I found eating corn, peas, beans [anything starchy inside a skin] was a royal pain in the ass, the skins get caught on the metal bits. [I had old school braces, metal bands driven down around the teeth, and connected with wires, and rubber bands from my eyeteeth on the top to the molars on the bottom.]
