hah! the day i don't have sugar would be the day i am 8 feet under the ground!
Had a milkshake for my first braced meal, I believe (so much for the no sugar instructions, huh?). And with my clients buying me chocolate for holiday gifts doesn't help either. I just brush right after. I do try to drink my sugary drinks with straws to minimize the contact with my teeth, and have candy and ice cream at home where the waterpik is handy so I can blast the sugar from between my teeth and I can brush right after

Kim: yeah the fried foods are the "dangerous ones." I bent the lingual wire on the brace on my molar a week into being braced from fried chicken.

oh, FYI-be careful with popcorn! darn unpopped seeds hurt and the shells is a pain to get out from under the hardware

I've actually cut out most of my sugar intake, despite the occasional cookie or slice of cheesecake--but for the first few days, I thrived on milkshakes, only because they were the only thing that didn't hurt to swallow. My teefses were sore.
But, I don't drink any soda anymore. I'm all water. It's weird, but I feel better.

Oh, and to the Aussie/Canadian cracker post--I only have one word. Tim-Tams.

The universal panacea...Tim Tams (that's when chicken soup doesn't work). If you really want a caffeine hit, try drinking (or rather sucking) your coffee through a Tim Tam.

They are a very naughty biscuit.

That would produce a similar taste effect I imagine. Maybe I should go out and get some.....
