Braces lagte hi sabse pehla sawaal hota hai – “Ab kya-kya nahi kha sakte?” Good news: zindagi khatam nahi hoti, bas thode smart food swaps karne padte hain.
Hard, sticky aur chewy cheezen sabse risky hain. Jaise chikki, hard toffee, popcorn ke hard kernels, ice cubes bite karna, bone ya seed crunch karna – in sab se brackets toot sakte hain, wire bend ho sakta hai. Corn on the cob ko directly bite karne ke bajay kernels cut karke spoon se khao.
Fruits aur veggies ko bhi braces-friendly shape me lao. Apple ya gajar ko pura chabana mushkil hai, lekin chhote slices ya grated version easily chewed ho sakta hai. Roti/naan ke very hard edges, sukhi papad, ye sab bhi thoda soften karke khaana better rahta hai.
New adjustment ke 1–2 din soft diet comfortable lagti hai—dahi, khichdi, upma, soft rice, smoothies, bananas, boiled veggies, dal, pasta type foods. Jab tenderness kam ho jaye, normal cheezein wapas add kar sakte ho, bas bite style change karke.
Good oral hygiene braces ke saath double important hai. Food easily wires me atakta hai, jisse plaque aur stains jaldi ban sakte hain. Special ortho brush, interdental brushes, aur thoda patience lagta hai, lekin final result dekh ke worth lagta hai.
