Fruits
Along with veggies, fruit is an important part of a well-balanced diet. While it is a great source of nutrients, it can be challenging to eat these foods with braces. For instance, many hard fruits like pears, peaches, apricots, plums, or apples can be very hard to bite into. To make it easier, you need to cut them into smaller pieces. Softer options can be bitten easily. However, they can be sometimes painful to consume when your teeth are quite tender, particularly after the wires are changed. In these cases, go for safer options for your braces, such as blackberries, raspberries, grapes, or blueberries. [5]
