Foods to Avoid With Braces
Orthodontic Diet Guide

Certain foods should be avoided during braces treatment to prevent damage to brackets and wires.

Common foods include popcorn, ice, hard candy, caramel, sticky sweets, nuts, and pizza crust. Biting directly into hard foods like apples or corn on the cob can also cause damage.

At Beyond Braces Orthodontics, braces patients from Garland and Sachse are advised to cut food into smaller pieces and avoid excessive biting pressure.

Broken brackets can delay treatment and require repair visits.

Good dietary habits help ensure treatment progresses efficiently. 

If certain foods cannot be avoided, Invisalign could be an alternative option, as it doesn’t have any dietary restriction. 

If you are considering treatment, you can schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Han, a board-certified orthodontist at Beyond Braces Orthodontics. The office is located at 5120 S State Hwy 78, Suite 800, Sachse, TX 75048, serving patients from Garland, Sachse, and nearby communities.
