What Foods Can I Eat With Braces?

You can eat most of the foods you are eating now. However, in order to minimize breakage of your braces (which could delay completion of your treatment) you should not eat or chew the following things:

	Foods containing hard caramels
	Ice cubes
	Gummy bears
	Laffy taffy
	Corn on the cob
	Now-or-laters
	Sugar babies
	Sugar daddies
	Unpopped kernels of corn
	Tootsie rolls
	Nuts, or anything with nuts in it
	Tops of ink pens
	Jolly Ranchers
	Granola Bars
	Granola cereal
	Hard candy like peppermints
	Bubble gum or chewing gum
	Skittles
	Whole apples
	Starburst

This list is not complete; you shouldn't eat anything that is similar to any of the above items. Thanks!
