Life With Braces: What Kids and Teens Should Expect

Getting braces is an exciting step toward a confident smile. Here’s what to expect when starting orthodontic treatment for kids and teens.

Cut it into smaller bites

Braces and big bites don’t mix. Help your child cut apples, corn, and sandwiches into smaller pieces so they can eat comfortably and avoid breaking brackets.

Good oral hygine is key

Food gets stuck easily with braces. Remind your child to brush after meals. If they can’t, have them rinse with water and brush as soon as possible (a water flosser helps a lot).

Listen their mouth

If something hurts to chew, it’s okay to skip it. Encourage softer foods for a day or two and keep an eye on sore spots so they don’t turn into bigger issues.

The adjustment phase

The first few days can feel tender. Help your child stick to soft foods like pasta, soups, yogurt, and smoothies until chewing feels normal again.

Foods to avoid

Protect their braces by skipping hard and sticky foods. Avoid popcorn, nuts, hard candy, ice, caramel, and chewing gum — these can bend wires or pop brackets off.

We Accept Medicaid & PPO Plans for Braces and Orthodontic Care
