If that's pork crackling you're talking about, I absolutely love the stuff. I like it crispy on the outside and slightly rubbery on the inside, yummo. No-one in our circle had it on offer over Xmas.....probably just as well.

Like everyone else is saying, you can eat anything. Just be more aware and conscious how you are doing it and you should be fine.

I still eat lots of nuts or foods with nuts in them, but I make a point of putting them between the back molars and chewing them, rather than biting them with the front teeth. As for rice krispy squares, I actually had one today. Not an ultra-sticky one, so certainly not a problem. I've eaten much stickier and got away with it.

I think the only thing I have not been brave enough to do is bite into a softer apple. I still cut them into pieces to eat them. Then agian, my favourite are Granny Smiths, and those are hard to bite right into - with or without braces lol.

Thanks Everyone,

I love cracklins!!! I am from the South and they are very known item that way. I have not had any in a while though. I eat mine with Hot sauce. Yummy!!!

lionfish yes, I mean pork cracklin! The stuff I had was rock hard through and through - maybe I need to try a different batch!

Thanks, have anyone been risky enough to eat nuts? I am really glad to hear that I can eat rice krispy. Can we eat rasins? Can we eat veggie chips? They are crunchy. They are one of my favorite snacks. I hope this is not a silly. Is the reason we can not eat hard is b/c of the teeth been loose?

I have to admit I did indulge in some Doritos and raw almonds while my band was loose...I know it was risky but I figured what the hay? It's made me a litle nervous to try it again. I like those veggie chips, too. I just let them get a little soft in my mouth before biting.

A lot of the time I make good use of the molars not banded or bracketed...comes in handy. In any event they need to be pulled I will be sad...LOL...

Guess what...I ate a rice krispie today. I had no problems eating it either.

Well, there you go. Next thing we'll hear that you've been chowing chicken bones. Only kidding.
