2 Perfect Dessert's for those with Braces

-


Braces is a major milestone for anyone at any age. The excitement of what your smile will be transformed into is a great feeling. What may not be a great feeling is the first few days after having your braces put on. Your mouth may feel sore and some teeth, usually the front teeth, may be tender and sensitive to pressure.

Until you become accustomed to eating with your new braces, you may find it beneficial to follow a diet consisting of all soft foods. When you are comfortable and accustomed to your braces, try these 2 perfect desserts. They are soft, easy to chew and delicious (depends on how you make these desserts).

1. Gelatin Desserts:
Gelatin desserts are the perfect dessert for anyone who wears braces. Their softness is safe for chewing with braces and their sweetness make for the perfect pair. Look up a few recipies and add in some soft fruits such as grapes or bananas.

2. Pudding
Pudding is also another perfect dessert because it is so versatile for anyone at any age. Just like the gelatin dessert, pudding is soft and can be a little cool for those with a sore mouth, right after orthodontic treatment. It is sweet and some fruits can also be added in.

There are more desserts and types of food you can eat while you have braces on. If you are unsure, give us a call or ask us at your next appointment.

  Heather K. Burch Orthodontics After getting braces , you may develop bad breath from not cleaning your teeth properly. Bacteria feeds on food particles left in your mouth, and this bacteria creates odor. Because braces contain so many small spaces to trap food, the habits that worked great for cleaning your teeth before braces may no longer be enough.  It's important to brush immediately after every meal or snack, or to vigorously rinse your teeth with water or mouthwash if you absolutely can't brush. Bad-breath-causing odors and bacteria can also cling to removable orthodontics (like a retainer or clear aligners), so be sure to remove them before eating, even if you're only eating a small amount. 4 Tips to Prevent Bad Breath While Wearing Braces 1.
