What's everyone looking forward to eating when their braces comes off?

The office fruit bowl arrive today and I realised I'm really looking forward to choosing anything I want out of it, instead of playing safe with grapes and satsumas. Next time I going for an apple or a plum.

Also really looking forward to enjoying sandwiches again in public without justifying the way I eat them first!

For me it was corn on the cob but I had to wait since mine came off last October. Then I discovered one can make entire meals out of corn on the cob, butter, salt, and of course beer.

Not really a meal, but I'm going to have a huge bag of movie theater popcorn!

I've been eating that anyway

I'm going to sink my teeth into the thickest sandwich imaginable. I miss sandwiches so much. I tried eating one the other day and actually resorted to a fork and knife. It was humiliating and unsatisfactory.

First meal post braces for me was a caramel apple. My intake the day my braces came off probably looked like a dream come true to a kid.

A giant sandwich on thick, crusty bread. I miss crusty bread

Ohhh burger!!! A THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. THIS IS SPAM PLEASE REPORT IT TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. three layer burger with blue cheese and bacon and lettuce!!! And I will eat the whole thing without a knife and fork! And then I will go to an all you can eat buffet lol!!!

I wonder if your teeth feel stable enough to take a big bite after the braces come off? I imagine it might be odd at first. I forgot how it felt to bite into something. Oh I miss popcorn. We have a movie theater popcorn machine at work so I have to smell the wonderful butter every day. Chips...I miss chips too.

I want to sink my teeth into an apple... I don't crave apples but I want to see the beautiful perfect arch I imagine all my life.

Haha!! I totally get the apple thing.... But my arch will look lush in a burger lol!!! Xxx

I think just eating without worrying about all the food getting stuck in the braces or not having pain trying to eat will be great

My braces will have been off a month on Sunday...and I can tell you, biting into a baby carrot still scares me.

I totally get this. We have these gummy sweets in the UK called Percy Pigs. I bit into one of those the other day and it looked like it had been laser cut. It was a perfect arch. I remember doing this before braces and it was just a mess.
