Forsake the Steak
If you are wearing braces, avoid hard foods (such as nuts and hard cookies), and sticky foods (like gum, toffee, caramels, and fruit bars). Foods such as apples and carrots should be chopped into small pieces before eating to reduce the stress on your braces. Similarly, do not chew ice, as it will strain the braces and lead to damage.
