Sure, it is okay.

I eat chewy lollies all the time. Even gum!

I eat practically anything I want as long as I'm careful. :]

Same here. If it's a hard candy I usually suck on it until it's pretty brittle or small then start chewing it. As long as you are careful you can eat almost anything you did before braces.bp88 wrote:I eat practically anything I want as long as I'm careful. :]

well, when they become really thin, they become kind of sharp and hard to suck...it seems like it could drop down the throat easily so I think a throat spray or mouthwash may be helpful.

I've had no problem eating anything I want. Just go slow and gentle. I don't like ice anyway, and normally suck on cough drops and those kinds of things until they are small anyway, so I guess I had good habits going in! The thought of crunching on hard candy and ice made my teeth hurt even before braces lol!
I haven't had a problem with gum or nuts or popcorn either. Just have to be careful and slow.
