First meal after braces
Moderator: bbsadmin
I've been thinking about this the last few days as I am getting my braces off in two weeks, but am struggling to think of stuff as in the last year or so I pretty much have anything I want (unless it was in a agony-filled post adjustment week). I have had times of not having things e.g. curry when I had clear powerchains but not much I haven't had for the entire the 2.5 years. French baguettes were always off limits but then I discovered one at Pret a Manger recently which is an 'artisan bread' and has quite a bit of mayonnaise in it so it's soft enough to chew (although I wouldn't have attempted it a week after adjustment).
So I think maybe proper pizza, yum and caramel sweets. And brazil nuts! I have had cashew nuts but only the brands I know are softer.
Should I book into nice pizza place for night of debracing, or will I be sore and I should wait a few days?

I don't remember what my first post-braces meal was, but I do remember that my teeth were sore for a while. I coudn't bite into an apple or carrot without discomfort for at least a month.
I don't know if my experience was typical, but all the super crunch, & chewy things were out for a while even after the braces came off .

fish and chips were my first big meal and i had gum as soon as they were off as well!!!! I've tried to eat apples the old fashion way but i end up getting a really bad hedache and my jaw gets super sore so i'm waiting it out. I'm actually being checked to see if I have tmj or something cause i've been getting really bad headaches on and off for over a month now!

On my de-bracing day, I left the orthos and went out to breakfast. I passed on the bacon thinking it would be too crunchy, but I bit into my toast with no problem. My teeth felt pretty good right after my braces were removed. I expected some pain, but really didn't have any. I will try bacon next!
