10 Foods To Avoid With Braces
Food To Avoid With Braces #1: Gum
Gum is sticky. That much does not need to be explained further. This stickiness makes it a potential nightmare where braces are concerned. Its softness also makes it easier for it to get in between the retainer pads and caught up in the wires. Removing it can be quite a task.
If you do still insist on chewing gum with braces, at least choose a low-sugar variety. This will help decrease the buildup of plaque should some get caught up in your braces. Also, if you do chew gum, please dispose of it properly. Other people do not deserve to have your gum stuck to their clothing.
