The Right and Wrong Foods Proper diet is essential when you have braces or orthodontic appliances. Eating the wrong foods can damage or break your braces. Loose or broken braces will delay treatment time due to the fact that the tooth with the broken brace will not move. If you do have a loose or broken wire, bracket or appliance, call the office as soon as possible so that it can be repaired. We will provide you with a list of right and wrong foods for patients who wear braces. |
