Cheonho-dong orthodontic foods: facts about what to eat and what to avoid

Hello~

I’m Lee Juri, Chief Director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic ^^

When you start orthodontic treatment, there are many things to be careful about...

and many things to keep in mind~

Improving your appearance is not easy.

If you eat carelessly while wearing orthodontic appliances,

a bracket may come off...

and the treatment process may take longer.

Today, I’ve prepared information on foods to avoid during orthodontic treatment,

foods you can eat,

and even how to eat them.

Cheonho-dong orthodontic foods: facts about what to eat and what to avoid.

Familiar tastes are scary.

Once you’ve tried certain foods, you know how they taste,

so it’s not easy to resist them.

The reason our diets always fail is also

because we can’t hold back in front of food~~

Please avoid these Cheonho-dong orthodontic foods!!!

1. Carbonated drinks and sweets

Cola, zero cola, juice, candy, chocolate, jelly, and so on...

Especially for those wearing clear aligners,

if you drink a carbonated beverage and then immediately put the aligners back in...?

It could be a shortcut to cavities.

Because the aligner covers the entire tooth surface,

it doesn’t give the acid from carbonated drinks time to rinse away~~

As a result, teeth may corrode,

and the risk of cavities increases.

Of course, you should also be careful if you have brackets attached to your teeth.

It’s inevitable that brushing may not be perfect...

and if you eat sweets too, the risk of cavities will be much higher, right~?

2. Hard foods

Ice, almonds, peanuts, and so on.

If strong force is applied, the wire may bend

or the brackets may fall off.

And hard foods are not good for both the jaw and the teeth..

so please avoid them as much as possible~!

3. Sticky foods

Tanghulu is a no!!!!!!

Chewy caramel candies like MyChew and Sour Chew are also risky.

They can get stuck between the brackets and wires and are difficult to removeㅠㅠ

4. Tough foods

Bean sprouts and seasoned vegetable dishes can easily get caught in the wires.

If you’re not careful, they can get caught in the appliance and may not even be easy to swallow

(I didn’t want to know that either...)

You should also be careful with tough meat.

5. Foods with strong color

Curry is a representative example~

This is because it can stain orthodontic elastics or

bracket colors, making them look less aesthetically pleasing,

so we’re asking you to be careful!

Wait a moment...!

No, Doctor...

then what foods am I supposed to eat?

You say not to eat this,

be careful with that too.

Then what on earth should I eat... you may be wondering.

Orthodontic treatment takes a long time.

Since it’s hard to hold out tightly for that whole period, from now on I’ll tell you how to eat foods during orthodontic treatment!

Precautions when eating during orthodontic treatment

Please eat foods cut into as small pieces as possible.

Even if your teeth are healthy, don’t bite into apples with your front teeth;

cut them into small pieces...

Shred meat into small pieces,

cut seasoned vegetables with scissors,

reduce the size!!!

If you drink carbonated beverages, rinse your mouth afterward.

Brush immediately after meals!!

Because food particles stick to orthodontic brackets and wires,

use an orthodontic toothbrush, interdental brush, and so on

to manage your oral hygiene thoroughly!!

Because orthodontic treatment is a long-term process,

maintaining proper eating habits is very important.

Many people start cavity treatment after finishing orthodontic treatmentㅠㅠ

To maximize treatment effects and ensure a smooth process,

let’s pay attention to what we eat during orthodontic treatment~!!
