I have to laugh because when I got my braces yesterday, I was given a list of "no no foods" and "be careful" foods. Corn on the Cob was on the "Be Careful" list. It just says to cut the corn off the cob before eating it. You can still butter it and salt it on the cob just like before. Just make sure you don't try to bite it off the cob because it will knock off your brackets! I love corn on the cob. It is on sale right now and soon it will be coming up in my mom's garden. I can't wait!

As for all the other foods....I ate a cheeseburger right after I got the braces on yesterday, I had chicken/corn kernels/and rice for supper, and I had froot loops and cheerios for breakfast this morning!

I think it will just take a little time to get used to how to chew these things and we will all do great!!! I found myself brushing my teeth excessively yesterday because of stuff in my brackets, but I am pretty sure that is what the dentist wants anyway...so away I go!
