Avoid Our "Ten Biggest Brace Breakers"!


1. Ice

2. Nuts (or anything with nuts in it)

3. Hard chips (esp. Corn chips, Doritos & Fritos)

4. Hard or sticky candy (Taffy, caramels, suckers, Jolly Ranchers &
gummy bears)

5. Whole apples

Corn on the cob, meat on the bone, corn dogs, apples, carrots, bagels, etc., should be cut into
the bite size pieces before eating. Chewing on straws or biting fingernails can cause damage
as well, and avoid Beef jerky, Slim Jims and Bubble gum (you may chew sugarless gum that is
designed not to stick to dental work or orthodontic appliances).
