17 Ways Braces Completely Ruin Eating
Not only do you look weird, but you also can’t eat anything. UGH.
2. You always have to take teeny-tiny bites of your food.
3. Or cut everything up into small pieces.
Including your sandwiches.
4. Eating takes FOREVER.
Like, way too long.
5. And when it gets too painful to chew, you end up putting strange things in the blender for nutrients.
6. People are all like, just eat soft foods and liquids.
7. But you wish you could just eat your favorite foods instead.
8. Too bad you’re paranoid about eating everything.
This grilled sweet corn.
9. Holidays are the worst when you have braces. No Valentine’s Day sweets for you.
You’re definitely not eating lip-smacking BBQ on the Fourth of July.
10. It sucks when you eat something you know you’re not supposed to and you break your braces.
11. And then you have to tell your dentist what happened.
14. It’s so annoying that you have to take your rubber bands out before every meal.
15. And you always have things stuck in your teeth.
16. You have to use this weird toothbrush after you eat.
17. And your clear bands are always stained with whatever you eat or drink.

nickmb 3 months agoUmm I ate whatever the hell I want, just got them off around beginning of January. None of this shit happened to me. You don’t explain anything to your dentist but your orthodontist. Clearly you’ve never had braces.

Trjgul 3 months agoI had them at 14. I hated them so much, especially in the beginning. Had to have three teeth pulled in one session for the overcrowding, and the spacers they put in by your back molars to make space for the metal bands hurt so bad I hardly ate for over a week until my parents took me to Perkins for a huge stack of pancakes, which were soft enough for me to eat.

Braces didn’t bother me at all. I had them and two appliances for nearly four years. I ate basically everything I was told not to and had no issues. Yeah, they hurt, but I took some ibuprofen and was set. I preferred going to the orthodontist over the dentist any day. Getting braces was worth it by far-even going through the teasing in school. I just wish I had kept up with my retainer once I got them off.

allieg5 3 months agoFrom what I remember having to cut up/blend food was only a thing right after the braces were adjusted at the ortho and your entire mouth hurt for a couple days. And I always ate stuff like BBQ and turkey, just not gum and caramel apples haha. For me the worst part by far were the sores I got from the brackets rubbing against my cheeks and inside of bottom lip. I still have scars from that 12 years later lol.

leoniew 3 months agoOMG everything in this article is TRUE! Finally someone gets it. Like, not my 16 year old niece who has braces and an must have an insanely high pain threshold. I’m 31 and have had mine on for over two and a half years :( I cry every time I go to the orthodontist and come out cold and shaking and in shock. And I have had two babies without any drugs or pain relief. Gimme another baby anyday! Braces are the pits :(

esperanzarubiot 3 months agoI was super excited abt getting braces because I thought I would lose a ton of weight because of them. No such luck. Though I did have to cut some foods up, I never radically changed my diet and getting them adjusted or new rubber bands put on just made them uncomfortable for a little bit. In fact, my orthodontist told me to chew gum (YEAH) or a baby teething toy thing to encourage circulation and alleviate the pain. Granted, I always had to rinse and brush my teeth, but c’mon. Who did you people get braces from that it was so tortuous?

@ biffish…i stated in my post below that i did have braces and yes..it hurt for a day or two at the most. I would take a Tylenol and forget all about it. It wasn’t the end of the world and certainly nothing to cry about. I guess certain people just have no tolerance for SORENESS. I hate to see how they deal with legitimate pain such as a broken bone or something. Poor slobs.

lanabrynf 3 months agoI always wished I had taken better care of my teeth when I had braces. I ended up with cavities around some of the glued on parts, and my back teeth forever have lines in them from the bands, and my cheeks still have bumps on them … the braces were the worst, still, I’m glad not to have a gap and do have better teeth now that I’ve got em all fixed. Stupid!

If you’re over twelve them is just pointless to get braces. Just pull those mangled things out and start over.

amberl19 3 months agoUhm no. Sure it’s ideal to get them before age 12, to lessen treatment time and so everything moves and gets into place before you’re done growing but LOTS of adults get braces with perfect results. It’s never too late to change/get healthy/improve your appearance. Braces fix more than just cosmetic issues. Pulling out teeth or getting veneers or imlants doesn’t matter. Braces actually widen your jaws so there’s more room for your teeth. They’re crooked for a reason, there’s not enough space for them to sit straight. Also when you pull out teeth they don’t just grow back? lol

It was a day, take a pain reliever and move on. It was never that bad.

Pain is different for everyone. Some people have an easy time and some people have a really hard time. I love how you people know what everyone else is feeling and are making statements like “it was never that bad” Sorry I wasn’t aware that you were me. When I got new wires put in I was in agony for about 2 weeks- almost up until the time I had to go back and have them done again!

I dont know where these people are getting their braces but ve they’re making it out to be like sone form of medieval torture. Sure…when I had braces over 20 years ago it was pretty awful..but nowadays it’s nowhere near that. Your teeth may hurt for a day or two whenever a new wire is placed or an appliance is placed or tightened..but thats it. Being a dental assistant for almost 10 years I’ve seen it all and braces are really not a big deal. And FYI: For all you people that continue to eat the foods that you’re not supposed to while wearing braces, every time you break something because of it..you’re taking a step back in your treatment and it’s going to tack on more to thetime

I have braces in the back of my teeth, so I can’t even see where the food is stuck. The worst.
