​"MADISON AREA'S ORTHODONTIC SPECIALIST OF CHOICE"

Foods To Avoid

It won't be forever

It's true, some of our favorite foods don't "play well" with braces. Sticky, hard and sugary foods can break and bend brackets and wires and also increase the likelihood 
of cavities developing. So to keep your braces in place and your teeth strong and healthy, avoid or at least keep these foods to a minimum.

Chewing on pens, pencils or other foreign objects will also cause damage to your braces so avoid those too. In the event of a loose or broken bracket or wire, call our office right away to arrange an appointment for repair.
