You can still chew gum. Just make sure its the sugar free kind. It doesn't stick. I chew it all the time.

Definitely nuts! I was nervous about peanut butter but have now figured out a way to carefully eat it. The only nuts I eat now are little pieces that come in granola bars and oatmeal. The raisin, date and walnut oatmeal has helped with cravings a little. Just miss eating nuts straight from the jar.

The whole time I had braces I never bit into a sandwich. I always pulled it apart ad placed in my mouth. I miss eating wraps. I don't know if it was just me but I couldn't bite into stuff. I always felt like it was trying to rip my brackets off. I even was able to eat pork cracklins though. I just put them on my molars.

I'm getting braces soon and am actually looking forward to being limited on what kind of foods I can and cannot eat. Am I insane?

I was just reading some of the posts here. They put a smile on my face. I don't really miss too much but before I got my braces I was a huge pretzel nugget person. A bag every day and yes I got my fill before braces were put on last Tuesday. The hard part is going in the supermarket and seeing them and not buying them

. Well the holidays should be a challenge. Break out the food processor

I haven't had to change my eating habits at all beacuse I haven't had any pain. I'm actually kinda bummed about the whole thing cause I was looking forward to dropping a few pounds. Guess I'll have to do it the good 'ol fashioned way: will power:s.

Chips and salsa, popcorn, almonds, peanuts, granola. My teeth are so sore I can barely eat, it's been that way since my spacers were put in. All soft food and often that even hurts. My ortho gave me bite wafers to chew on to stimulate blood flow and hopefully lessen the pain, I don't think it's working so far.

The only benefit is, yes, I have lost weight and that feels really good.

Anything and everything crunchy! I had a bracket come off eating a crispy baked potato, have been eating a lot of soft foods since.

I still eat almost everything that I did before but I miss biting into things. I either tear everything apart or chop it up like its for a 2 yr old.

I think the thing I miss most is also biting into things. I read an earlier post on this thread where someone said they cut up their Subway sandwich. I've been there
