Alfalfa sprouts and generally anything that's standard ingredients for Vietnamese cooking.

Alfalfa sprouts here, too. They're like heat seeking missiles. In fact, anything with fibre in it gets stuck which means virtually all fruit, veggies and salad greens. All the stuff I love and won't give up.

I had lower ceramic braces placed yesterday. I'm finding that more seems to be getting stuck in these guys than my upper linguals. I went out and bought a pocket mirror straight away!

Blankets.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and have fluff from my blankets in my teeth. The synthetic blanket causes a fingernail-on-chalkboard effect.

Rice and the dental floss thing!!! I am only at day 2 and flossing is a pain. For about 2 hours I had a shred of floss about the size of a hair that I could feel with my tounge but couldnt get it out!!! I drove me crazy!!!! Glad to hear I am not the only one!

Ground meat of any kind!(BBQ's,sloppy Joes,etc)....
I may have to become a Vegatarian.

I made a can of Campbells Chicken and Stars soup once, thinking it would be easy to eat and digest.......
awhile later took a glance in a mirror only to find a row of 'Stars' sitting on my top archwires twinkling at me.....

Food has become an adventure.......

Will, I can't believe you were the first to say it!

M-E-A-T for sure. I have eight hooks on my molar bands so food just wraps itself round there and sometimes I can't get it off. I keep nearly choking cos I'm swallowing food that's anchored to my braces. Not nice.

I definitely vote for alfalfa sprouts and vietnamese food ingredients too.

Eating is so hard ...

I made the mistake of eating popcorns when I went to the movies...
couldn't wait to get home and use the irrigator...
