What foods can you NOT eat with braces?
✅ Hard foods like ice, hard candies, nuts, and raw carrots can crack brackets or bend wires.

✅ The good news — most foods are completely fine as long as you cut them into smaller pieces first.
✅ Small adjustments in how you eat make a big difference in keeping your treatment on track and on schedule.
✅ Dr. Motakef reviews the right diet with every new patient at Happy Dental Land because it genuinely protects your treatment.
