I eat normally, dont stay away from too many things and eat a few too many things I shouldn't be eating with braces on - but there is one thing I am craving so so bad! Cadbury Lunchbar! I dont know if you get them all over the world, but it is a delicious chocolate bar crammed with caramel, wafer biscuit, peanuts and crisped rice (like in rice crispies) - I dont dare try eat it, as I just know it will break something

I am so going to overdose on those things when these puppies come off my teeth! - just feeling sorry for myself, and slightly hungry now! Hehe

Corn on the cob is what I have been dreaming about. Maybe next year!

I live in America, but I am English, yesterday my husband went to the commissary and got me a flake from the English section because I am dying for some chocolate and thought that would be okay because it's all flaky and would melt in my mouth... He also got himself a crunchy.

I called him rude names upon his return... Now that delicious crunchy is sitting on the side just mocking me with it's chocolately crunciness...

*sob*

You can suck the chocolate off at least! I mean, that *is* how one eats a Crunchie...

I miss popcorn, more than I can say. I know a lot of people eat it with braces, but I worry so much about things getting caught in molar bands and all of the horror stories I've heard from the ortho techs about trying to clean after a popcorn feast.

One of my coworkers is from Scotland. He gave me a Boost bar to eat...That was a terrible idea. I didn't break anything, but I was sucking caramel out of my brackets for hours after.

Crusty, chewy bread

You still can, just break it into small little pieces and let it sit and melt in your mouth. I know the experience won't be the same as biting and chewing it but it'll still taste the same.

hehe metallika I have thought about it, but the caramel is hard toffee-like caramel, and the peanuts are whole peanuts - its just a plain bad idea hahaha! I'll just have to satisfy my sweet tooth with something else

will just have to be thankful for small mercies such as icecream and other braces friendly goodies hehe

I can eat dunked hobnobs. It takes a little longer to get the dunk right and you have to rush before it crumbles into the tea, but if you can do it, it's a slice of heaven.

Believe me when I say I miss gnawing on bones. When I had regular teeth, I'd chew a chicken thigh bone to its marrow! I love cartilage and miss that too! Hey, I'm Asian and we don't let food go to waste! Hahaha I want me some chicken and pig feet now.

Come to think of it, maybe that's how I cracked the root of my one molar that had a root canal...it became infected and eventually got extracted.

I REALLY want to eat several ears of corn on the cob. Not being able to is my biggest "braces torture"!!!

I just went through 12 months with braces, and the only thing I didn't eat was popcorn and corn on the cob. That's it. I was just paranoid about the slivers of corn getting caught in my brackets (popcorn) and the mess that it makes (on the cob). But, chips, nuts, chocolate...no big deal. I ate them all. And nothing broke. I guess my ortho uses good cement.
