Can I eat anything I like while I am wearing braces?
With braces, you can eat most things but your orthodontist will give you full instructions. You should avoid hard sticky sweets like toffees and Minties. You also need to cut up some foods, like apples, raw carrots and crusty rolls. Don’t gnaw meat on the bone or corn on the cob. See our tips on living with your braces.
Can I have my braces taken off for a special event like the school formal?
Yes. Please ask your treatment co-ordinator for more information.
What do I do if my braces break?
Braces may occasionally break or become loose. Just phone us to make an appointment as soon as you can to have them fixed and to keep your treatment on track.
