Orthodontic Diet

Section 1: Changing the diet in orthodontics

1 – Choose soft foods.

Soft and non-festive foods are the best food for orthodontic brackets. They not only reduce the chance of damage to the brackets, but also likely to reduce the pain of sensitive teeth. Some foods like tasty vegetables can still be consumed. But they should be steamed so that they are soft and comfortable to drink.
Some foods that are compatible with orthodontic brackets that do not cause tooth decay are:
Soft cheeses
yogurt
Soup
Good cooked meat, no bones (chicken, turkey, chives, etc.)
Soft seafood without bones (fish, crabs)
Macadoes, Noodles
Boiled or cooked potatoes
Soft rice, well cooked
egg
Soft and well-cooked beans
Soft bread without firm skin
Corn Bread
pancake
Cooked soft products like cakes and cookies
Pudding
Apple puree
the banana
Cookies, Ice Cream, Milk Mix …
Jelly

2. Do not eat rancid foods during orthodontic treatment.

 

Rigid foods may break orthodontic brackets, and on the days after the brackets are adjusted, mild pain turns it into severe pain. Avoid eating tasty or very crispy foods, especially after an orthodontic appointment.
Some tasty foods are listed below, but you should note that tasty foods are not limited to these.
Nuts of any kind
Granola
popcorn
Ice
The dry and hard part of the bread
Sweets
The dry and hard part of the pizza
Chips (potatoes or tortilla)
Raw carrots (unless shredded or shredded very tiny pieces)
Apples (unless shredded or shredded very tiny pieces)
Corn (unless the corn grits are well cooked and soft – avoid blasting)

3- Do not eat sticky foods during orthodontics.

 

The sticky foods of the enemy are your brackets and if you try to screw them with your new brackets, they can cause pain or even tear off the brackets. Candy and chewing gum are the worst sticky foods and should be avoided.

Some viscous foods include:
Chewing gum of any kind
Licorice
Toffee
caramel
Chocolate
Cheese

Section 2: Changing the way you eat during orthodontics.

Divide the food into small pieces.

 

  • One of the biggest dangers that may come about for your brackets comes from your eating habits. The normal eating habits of your life are such that if you eat the same type of orthodontic bracket, they will damage the brackets and cause the teeth to be removed from the brackets. One way to avoid breaking orthodontic brackets is to eat small pieces of food. This can help you manage your teeth chewing.
    Divide the apples into small pieces before eating. Almost like the corn, biting it causes pain and damage to the brackets.
    Even if you eat soft and compatible orthodontic brackets, it’s best to divide them into smaller pieces. This can help you treat pain and protect your teeth.
  • Eat food with milling teeth during orthodontic treatment.

 

 

  • Most people do not think about which teeth they use to bite and chew. But when you have or have adjusted orthodontic brackets recently, your teeth may become too sensitive. Chewing with the teeth that are suitable for grinding the food and seemingly thicker and better helps to reduce the pain that may feel the front teeth
    Try to avoid kicking and separating food with the teeth as you swallow. This is another reason why chewing small pieces of food is useful.
    Try to feed the food in the mouth and the end on the mill teeth and wash (but not at the end of the throat, which does not cause choking)
    If you are not accustomed to using the fork and the food at the end of your mouth and are worried about biting the fork, try to remove the food with your fingers and gently pour it on your teeth.
  • Gently swallow food while treating anthony.

 

  • Although you may be very hungry, especially if you are installing orthodontic brackets on the first day and making your teeth a bit painful, it is important to pepper the food slowly. Fast eating can lead to forgetfulness about how you eat (small dice with back teeth): You may also damage the orthodontic brackets by bumping into seeds or bones. Fast food chewing can cause pain and inflammation in your teeth. This is because the bones and ligaments that support the teeth in your mouth are weakened by the forces that smooth your teeth.
  • Drink a little water with food. If you have problems with chewing, it can help eating a comfortable meal. Drinking water can also help clear any food that may get stuck in your brackets.
  • Section 3: Pain management during orthodontic surgery.

 

  • Rinsing with salt water. Teeth, gums, lips, tongue, and specimens may have pain a few days after inserting braces or resetting them. This is normal and you can manage it in a number of ways. The easiest way to reduce inflammation in your mouth is to use a brine solution.
  • Mix a teaspoon of salt with a glass of warm and clean water.
    Do not heat up water as it burns your mouth.
    Rinse your mouth with salt water every day, especially during the first week after installing or setting the brackets.
    After washing the mouth, remove the solution (do not swallow the solution of salt water)
  •  

 

  • Use wax on sharp orthoses
    Many people who have orthodontics experience pain during the first few days. But after a few days, lips, cheeks and tongue get used to these metal brackets. It is also possible to encounter brackets with a wire as often as possible. These are the normal experiences that you may encounter and the best way to treat them is to use orthodontic wax on brackets or wires that cause pain and discomfort.
    Wax can be useful as long as your mouth gets used to new things on your teeth or as a temporary solution. However, if you have a broken bracket or an annoying wire, it is advisable to contact your orthodontic practitioner as soon as possible to resolve the problem.
  • Use only Orthodontic wax on brackets. Ask for orthodontic wax from your orthodontist, or take your local drug store if needed.
  • Take medicine.
    If you develop severe pain after installing or adjusting the orthodontic bracket, you may want to consider medication to help control the pain. Common nonprescription drugs, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, are useful for reducing pain.
  • If you want to prescribe a child or a teenager, you should avoid aspirin in children and adolescents due to Rey’s syndrome. Ray syndrome is a potentially deadly disease associated with aspirin in young people.
