My teeth will be in jail for 18 mths. I've gone 2 so far and I miss biting into my food. I miss hamburgers because it makes it so much better just biting into that bugger. What do you miss the most?

Almonds and carrots

Popcorn!

I guess I'm not sure why you can't bite into hamburgers. Other than the first few days after an adjustment, I bite into almost anything. Definitely a hamburger has never stopped me...maybe I'm less sensitive than most.

I've had no problems with hamburgers. I've bitten into them from about the 2nd week with braces. The only foods I still avoid are nuts, and crunchy French bread. I do miss nuts.

Ice cream and pastries that contain nuts.

I miss chewing gum.

I was just thinking this morning the thing I think I miss the most is a good makeout session LOL. Can still kiss with the braces but not those steamy makeout kisses. Come on August!

Hamburgers are fine for me too.

I think i miss curry's the most. I couldnt risk the staining! And i used to have Diet Coke a lot, but havent had one for 3 months! Do other people drink coke/diet coke??

Corn on the Cob, hot wings, ribs

I beg to differ, kathydell! My girl and I have made the most of it, sometimes even with elastics in. Just watch out for the hooks for elastics. Sometimes after an ortho visit she pretends she is an ortho and does an "assessment." Checks all those nooks and crannies. 'Nuff said or else I'll get banned, I'm sure.

I'm with Dan hasn't inhibited that at all.

I'm thinking Dan gets some kind of award if he's pulling this off with elastics in though - or you've got a different elastics configuration. I'm wearing impalas (tiny little things) in a triangle configuration with the top on my upper canines.

I guess it's just me. I still have to break the burger apart with my fingers first. My top teeth had quite a bit of movement so I suppose it will be a little while before I can. Dan isn't letting anything stop him hahaha

Anything spontaneous without having to cut it up into pieces first or worry about it being too hard for my brackets.
