Everyone knows that certain foods are off-limits when wearing braces, so today I'm going to test out a popular food to see which ones really break your braces. Let's start with Oreo. Most people believe that these cookies are banned because of their hardness, but that's actually not the case. You still have to be careful with Oreos, because the cookie crumbs get stuck under the arch, making them very difficult to clean out. And cookie residue under braces is a path to cavities. Oreo is allowed, but be careful. Next, let's try Takis. Write in the comments which one you like better: blue or red? These corn chips are very crunchy, so believe me, they are forbidden. But if you really want to eat Takis and not break your braces, here's a tip. Chew with your back
molars and bite off slowly. This is safer than biting with your front teeth. Now, what about Sour Patch Kids? They come in different flavors, my favorite is watermelon. And if watermelon-flavored candies are your favorite, you should try Fat Lab Watermelon Mint toothpaste. Sour Patch Kids-sour, sweet, and sticky. They won't break the braces, but they are still prohibited because they stick to them and cause cavities. Candies with acidic coatings dissolve tooth enamel more quickly, so be careful when eating them. Cotton candy, cotton candy from a treasure chest. I bought this very sour cotton candy, Korean strawberry cotton candy. Although cotton candy is pure sugar, it is
allowed because it dissolves quickly. Just don't forget to brush your teeth afterwards. And this completely stale cotton candy. Oh, what nonsense? It smells pretty good. The horse eats stale cotton candy. Nerd gummy clusters, some of the best candies . Write below what your favorite candies are. Maybe I'll make toothpaste out of them. They are large and very colorful. They are crunchy and chewy, which means they are forbidden. How about Pringles? I often ate them for school lunches. Pringles are thin and crunchy. Allowed. Snack Pack jelly desserts. This is a grape-flavored version of Fanta. They are very soft and gentle. You can easily bite into the jelly.
Allowed. I bought this viral jerky on TikTok, let's check if it's safe to eat with braces. Oh, El Ranchero. We have blue jerky and spicy red. This is a huge piece of beef jerky. Wow, that's spicy. Very rich taste. 10 out of 10. It's like Takis combined with jerky, but it gets really stuck between your teeth. It is very chewy. All my teeth have turned blue. This is cool. Let's see what happens if you eat this with braces. Dried meat constantly gets stuck between the brackets and is difficult to clean out. Eating dried meat is prohibited, unless you watch the video to the end, where I show you the best way to brush your teeth.
Let's check out Doritos. Write in the comments which flavor you like better: Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese. I like Nacho Cheese better. Doritos are okay because they're not too hard, but make sure to brush your teeth after eating because no one wants to see leftover chips on your teeth. Spicy Cheetos. I'm not sure about them, so let's check. Cheetos are very hard, so they are not approved, but if you can't resist, get Cheeto puffs. I just bought some flavored pickles, let's try them. Write in the comments whether you like cucumber-flavored snacks. Light and airy. Let's see what happens when you eat them with braces.
They are approved. One of my favorite treats is Sour Patch Ropes. Are they approved for braces? I don't really know, so let's try. First up are these new Lemon Head ropes. Next, let's try these festive Twists. They look a bit like ribbons on a Christmas tree. They have a soft shell and a very chewy filling. They are soft and approved as long as you don't bite or pull on them, as it is easy to tear off the brace, so be careful. And now let's test the chocolate. Chocolate is even good for your teeth, especially dark chocolate, because it has little sugar and melts quickly. But what happens if you eat it with braces? Well, he's approved.
This is a candy that doesn't cause cavities because it contains xylitol, so even though it's a super sticky toffee that clings to braces and teeth, it doesn't promote bacterial growth. Taffy approved. If you wear braces, you know that feeling when the wire sticks out and pricks your cheek. It's not fun and it hurts a lot, so here's my life hack. Go to the store and buy special wax for braces. Open the package and pinch off a little. Then roll it into a small ball and glue it to the piercing wire. But if your teeth are wet, the wax won't stick. So, take a paper towel, fold it until it's very
small, cut it in half, roll it into a small roll, and then dry the tooth thoroughly so the wax sticks well. But don't leave everything as it is. Spread it out until it touches another bracket; Your goal is to completely cover the edge of the wire. This will protect your cheek from being scratched by the wire. Just use orthodontic wax. Got meat stuck between your braces? Instead of a toothpick, it is better to use a special dental floss with a holder. These are Platypus orthodontic flosses . They are designed specifically to fit around braces and make cleaning easier. But if you want to simplify the process, I recommend an irrigator. It's not worth spending a lot of money on an irrigator. I will find the best deal for you
at the link below so you can buy it at a discount. When I was a kid and wore braces, my favorite thing was choosing the color of the elastic bands. So what color is best for braces? If you want your teeth to look whiter, follow these rules. Purple is a great option for whitening teeth because it is the opposite color to yellow, so it neutralizes yellowness. Red stands out, but it can make gums look inflamed. Definitely avoid yellow, as it will make your teeth look even more yellow and dirty. White is definitely not the best choice because it darkens quickly, and since it is whiter than your teeth, they will look yellow. Same problem with transparent. It absorbs all the colors of the food you eat, so it looks good at first
, but by the end of the week it looks like old, unpleasant cheese. Gray and silver are a great option because they blend in with the braces and are almost invisible. Blue is great for making teeth look brighter. You can choose a rich dark blue or a deep blue shade. Black adds contrast, so your braces will be visible from afar. Green looks pretty cool, but it can feel like you have a piece of broccoli or spinach stuck between your teeth. Write in the comments what color of braces is your favorite. One of the most difficult problems with braces is that the gums tend to become inflamed, especially if you don't brush them properly. So here's a quick recipe with just three ingredients for a mouthwash that will really help your
gums. You will need baking soda, xylitol, and sea salt. Mix all three ingredients, add some warm water, and then rinse your mouth with it every night. This will help remove plaque and relieve gum inflammation. This mouthwash may taste a little salty, so be prepared, but it will definitely help your gums. When your braces get dirty from food throughout the day, here's what you definitely shouldn't do. To use dental floss correctly, you need to wrap it around your tooth in the shape of the letter "C". If you use small interdental brushes, don't just stick them into your braces. You need to thread the thread under the arch. In fact, there is a right and wrong way to use a toothbrush.
Instead of just brushing frantically up and down, you need to gently brush the top and bottom of your braces, holding the brush at the right angle. We have these ultra-soft Colgate manual toothbrushes. Let's open them. She has a pretty cool pen. I like this brush because of the bristles. They are very wide apart and there is a perfect little recess so it does a great job of reaching and cleaning around the braces. This is an indispensable toothbrush if you have braces. Be sure to choose soft bristles, not stiff ones. Now, for a deeper clean, you need an electric toothbrush. The inexpensive Philips Sonicare toothbrush is a great option, and I'll leave a link to the discount below. But
my favorite electric toothbrush when I wore braces was the Oral-B iO. Sonicare brushes vibrate back and forth, which is quite uncomfortable with braces, while Oral-B brushes rotate, acting as a perfect cup that embraces the braces and cleans your teeth wonderfully. But a good brush is incomplete without toothpaste, so I spent two and a half years creating the perfect toothpaste. Back Lab has incredible taste, science-backed ingredients, and is specifically designed for great teeth cleaning with braces. Back Lab has the perfect consistency for cleaning around braces while strengthening teeth with nanohydroxyapatite-the same mineral your teeth are already made of. It acts as a building
material, so when you brush your teeth with Back Lab, it rebuilds the surface of your teeth, protecting and strengthening them. Now let's talk about ways to clean braces. You can use small interdental brushes, but make sure you choose the right size, dense or ultra-dense. I used to use this super thread, which was a real pain. It takes forever to clean, so I probably didn't floss as often as I should. They make using floss very easy and I definitely recommend them. And what's the best way to brush your teeth when you're on the go? This is a mini travel toothbrush set, let's see what's in it. The kit includes a small toothbrush that needs to be assembled. You just click it like this. This is so cool. The kit also
includes a small tube of toothpaste. It's a shame it's not Facleb, but the best part is that it also comes with a little mini brush. These are the same tiny brushes that are great for cleaning between braces. If you're looking to upgrade your travel brush, I just saw this one on Amazon and just had to buy it. This is an electric travel toothbrush. But here's what makes this brush so special. It is very stylish and comfortable in the hand. And when you press the button, it pops out. Well, is n't that cool? Press here and the bristles turn on. And you hear it vibrating.
