I just got braces about 2 weeks ago and I was eating pizza and I don’t know if I’m supposed to eat the crust. Also yesterday I was watching a movie with my friend and eating popcorn and my mom told me to stop.  Does anyone know what I can and can’t eat?

Well some orthodontists say not to eat the pizza crust, but it hasn’t really been a problem for me, same with popcorn but don’t eat the kernels or the half-popped things. Hard caramel is usually fine but stay away from the sticky ones, and DO NOT chew the hot cocoa candy cane stirring stick things. I broke a bracket on one last year. Also, most candy is usually fine, just not Milk Duds cuz the caramel is like super sticky.

Foods to Avoid With Braces
  • Chewy foods: bagels, hard rolls, licorice.
  • Crunchy foods: popcorn, ice.
  • Sticky foods: caramels, gum.
  • Hard foods: nuts, hard pretzels.
  • Sugary food: candy.
  • Foods you have to bite into: corn on the cob, apples, carrots.

Hi there! I have braces too, and no, you should not eat popcorn, hard candies, or chew gum while you have braces. Oh, and you shouldn't eat caramel. Hope this helps!
