What kind of food do you eat after orthodontic treatment? Don't eat hard food such as sugar cane, ribs, crabs, popsicles, chicken legs, beef jerky, snacks with shells and cores, because eating such food requires a lot of effort to bite or chew, which will loosen the appliance, deform the orthodontic wire and lead to tooth movement.
Try not to eat too sticky food, such as maltose, chewing gum, glutinous rice products, toffee, etc. , will stick to the appliance and orthodontic wire, causing displacement.
Snacks such as candy and biscuits should be avoided in high-sugar foods. In order to avoid tooth decay, it is best to eat less during correction. If you can't help eating, you must brush your teeth at once.
Try not to drink high-sugar drinks such as coke, sprite and fruit juice. Tooth movement depends on the absorption and deposition of periodontal bone, and a balanced diet is helpful for tooth movement. If the nutrition is not balanced during the treatment, the effect of treatment will be carefully affected, so we should pay more attention to the balance of diet.
Eat more fruits and vegetables (note that apples should be cut into small pieces to prevent the bracket from loosening) and take more vitamins to relieve oral ulcers and angular stomatitis. Many friends who wear orthodontic appliances are more prone to oral ulcers or oral problems than ordinary people because they respond to the stimulation of orthodontic appliances, so they should supplement enough vitamins more consciously. Dietotherapy is a simple and effective method. Lemon, grape, strawberry, mango, watermelon, tomato, cantaloupe, asparagus, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, potato, etc. They are all rich in vitamin C. You might as well eat more.
The appliance should not be too close to the teeth, which makes people eat unscrupulously, and the thinner arch wire can't bear too much bite force. Therefore, we must pay attention to diet during orthodontic treatment to ensure orthodontic effect.

When wearing an appliance or a steel wire for the first time, most people will feel pain, and they won't even open their mouths, let alone eat, because the teeth are subjected to corrective force, which changes from a stress-free state to a sudden stress state. Therefore, we should eat soft food in the first two or three days, that is, porridge, noodles and the like. Decide when you can resume eating rice according to your own adaptation.
2, the principle of chewing
There are appliances on the teeth, so it is difficult for anyone to eat freely, so no matter what food you eat, you should chew slowly to avoid biting your teeth or loosening the appliances. If you encounter biting food such as apples, it is very good to cut them into small pieces to avoid biting off the utensils.
