Candies are no longer completely banned for people who wear braces – as the materials and the technologies used for making braces has evolved, modern braces are much more flexible and much more resistant than they used to be, so your braces will probably survive a few candies without getting damaged. However, there are a few types of candies that should be avoided if you have braces – here are some:
-        Candies that contain hard pieces – the candies that contains nuts, very hard pieces of chocolate or of sugar can easily damage teeth that are not restrained with braces, the risks increasing for brace wearers;
-        Gummy candy – due to their gummy texture, this type of candy can easily wrap around the wires and the other components of the braces, causing the wires to deform or to break;
-        Popcorn – the kernels of popcorn can get stuck between the teeth or between the teeth and the wires;
-        Chewy candy – the problem with these types is the same as in the case of gummy candy.
Soft candies and cookies can be safely consumed by people with braces, but only if the teeth and the braces are thoroughly cleaned right after the sweets are consumed. Chewing on the sweets should also be avoided, the best way of enjoying them being sucking on them.something that damages your orthodontia, orthodontist Littleton specialists can help you repair your braces.
