I can not eat well with braces

I used to wear braces too. I think I had it for 3 years. At first, it was a pain to eat. I cannot chew well and the foods just get stuck on the wires. However, in time, I learned to deal with it. I eventually learned how to eat with the wires, too. I'm sure you'll figure it out soon. As for now, just think of your well-aligned teeth when the braces go off! That's motivation enough!

yeah that can give a little bit of problem but it become worse when it comes to food and eating. you will not loose weight mrswhitfield he he he we feel it , but it is not so. but your condition is not good when it comes to eating with your braces. you must be missing those KFc chicken , burgers and the ribs isn't it ?

Hello :D. I had braces when I was little and it was horrible, the pain and discomfort is renewed every time they adjust them. I think that's why they tend to use them on children, since they don't know very well what torture means :P. In my case they took out 2 of my canines for some reason, and then they damned me to wear a mouth piece for the rest of my life. By now I don't use it anymore since it's an eternity of pain to have a nice smile, which I find unreasonable :). How long will you keep your braces?

Hi, My friend had braces in his school time. It must be very troublesome for eating hard food. If it trapped in the braces there would be very difficulty in cleaning braces. But after removing braces my friend stats looking handsome with lovely smile. So try to bear the troubles patiently. After some days everything will be alright.

I never wore braces, thank goodness that I don't have a need to. But my younger siblings are wearing theirs now and I notice a considerable decrease in our monthly chocolates and other junk food groceries that they sneak on the grocery cart. Whenever their dentist would adjust their braces, they will be in pain for days. At least if you are trying to lose some weight I think having braces will be a big help.

Yeah I remember what its like to have braces. When I had mine the first few weeks I could only really it soft things like bread, or soup or porridge etc. Then you get used to it, eventually you should be able to eat the things you like. I couldn't bare not being able to eat meat like chicken and beef.

Sorry to hear about that. I have friends who have had braces. They have told me how hard it was for them. They were finally relieved when it was already taken out. Hope you adjust to it in time.

hi... you are right at first it is difficult for you but times goes by..it is for you just like my friend. ask you doctor about that perhaps he/she will give advice to you,.. get well.

Wearing braces will definitely come into way when you want to eat something. But since it is necessary in order to help you with your dental issue, you have to bear with it and survive this short period. Take it as a triumph and perhaps a side program at loosing weight. Think positive and eat the food suggested by your doctor.

I never taught braces are painful as that until you shared and others comments also, I'm planning to put braces also since my teeth are rotating, I can clearly imagine how painful it was the way you describe in details. Thanks for sharing!
