Lingual Braces Food Restrictions List

When the lingual braces are attached for the first time or adjusted for the first few times you may feel a little discomfort inside your mouth. Soft food, easy for chewing, is your best choice for braces and sore mouths. While these diets help to control inflammation, they also safeguard the brackets so you’ll end up with straight and beautiful teeth.

It is essential to have an idea on what to eat and what to not eat to avoid the wrong food or breaking your lingual braces. Try different soft foods for keeping your stomach full without much chewing. Now that you’ve got your braces, how are you looking after them? You must know how to care for your braces properly throughout your orthodontic treatment.
