braces

[rynresa]

i need advice from those of you that have/had braces. were you able to eat hamburgers and hot dogs on the bun? did you strictly follow the "do not eat" list, or try different things to see what worked and what didn't? my dentist says she doesn't restrict much, just biting into whole fruit such as apples and pears, and no nuts. i looked on line

Roger can go away! :P

Back when I had braces I think I only really avoided sticky food like fudge/toffee/chewy candy. You can still eat burgers or hotdogs if you break off pieces of it and put it in your mouth, rather than just biting right into it. It's easier/less messy that way.

Did you ever break any of your brackets off?

Never :)
