As we’ve seen in previous blogs, orthodontic treatment is becoming increasingly popular with both adults and children, as technology improves to make braces less noticeable, more effective and more comfortable for people. But there are also practical, day-to-day realities when it comes to orthodontics, particularly when you get them fitted and are getting used to them. One thing you need to have are soft food ideas for braces.
Of course, it is important that you steer clear of hard foods like nuts and hard sweets which may damage braces when you’ve just had them fitted, regardless of whether they are made from ceramic, steel or Invisalign. But the reality is that many foods could be classified as “hard” so what are the best soft food ideas for braces?
Dairy products such as yoghurts and cheeses are great for braces, as well as soups, mashed potatoes and gravy. It’s important to be creative – just because meats tend to be hard on your teeth doesn’t mean you can’t have, say, tender shavings of meat or meals like lasagne or quiche.
You may have to forgo rashers on weekend mornings, but smoked salmon and scrambled eggs are both healthy and will be very soft on your new braces.
If you need any more information about your new braces, we are pleased to let you know that all our Dublin practices – in Knocklyon, Swords, Ballsbridge and Cabinteely – have an orthodontist on hand to help if you are looking for specialised treatment.
