I have braces. Sometimes I get them tightened to when I can't either chew or bite food for a few days. All I get to eat is either soup, congee/rice porridge, jello, ice cream, yogurt etc. Eating soup and congee over and over gets nasty after awhile. I'm a fatty so being starved makes me depressed. So if you've had braces or have them what do you eat when you can't chew?

braces hurt a lot. i almost cried when i got them. thank goodness they're off now. ^^*
anyway, i forced myself to eat regularly & ignore the pain. hunger>pain.
eat ramyun! but ramyun's bad for you.. so just stick to yogurt & soup. x___x

[lovehunter12]

My friend has braces and she can eat anything she want.. She doesnt seem to have a problem with it..

[broken.wings]

I didn't have problems when I had braces. But sorry, the only foods I can think of are the liquidy ones like soup, yogurt, ice cream, jello, etc

[izawa]

congee
well actually i didnt have much pain after they tighten it every month
elastics is what feels weird... wake up every morning feeling that ur teeth are falling out

who actually follows what they suggest... like not to eat popcorn and stuff...
coz i know i didnt follow that and i had no trouble xD xP

[rain_drops]

i always had liquid like water tea coffee, ice cream, and macaroni salad...

Pretty much what you listed... or baby food
If you want good food, the only option is sacrifice pain for taste
Try different varieties of soup (I love soup...)
How long have you had your braces? After a few month, it should only hurt for a day when they tighten them...
For me, the first month was pain, then only a day of pain or some discomfort after tightening...
Basically, you get used to it and you'll be able to chew painlessly again.

[sus]

i had braces ages ago...yea can be painful to eat when u just got it tighten
usualli eat congee n bread
i mean i dun bite nething cos hurt to much but i can chew slowli using the bak teeth...
just takes longer to eat a meal hehe
but hey once the braces are off~~ its worth it

[imaviet]

I have braces now; *i've only had them for a lil over a year*

And i still eat everything "i'm not suppose to" even when I get it tighten :] getting it tighten doesn't hurt as much anymore for me.

I still eat a lot of sugary fooooood ; chew gum; and eat sticky stuff. yeuppp ^__^ it's all good . hahahhaha

[Stelliejellie]

I ate tofu with some soy sauce ^-^

[cyberfruit]

I eat everything. It's just harder to eat certain things like apples or popcorn because they can break a bracket or get stuck in the wires, but you'll get used to it.

When I can't chew...ramen and rice.

[ima_robot]

OHOH i had braces! i got them off like 2 weeks ago. but the pain dosnt end there T_T retainers suck! UGHHH!

i eat ramen noodles,yogurt, oatmeal,spagetti, soft cookies.

yummyuummm

[PunchNine]

my braces are off now, but it was never that bad when i had it on.. i ate practically everything!

the pain shouldn't last that long, it only hurts the first couple of days when you get it tightened.

But if it hurts that badly for you... then... lukewarm soup? lol

thats like drinking a bottle of laxatives

you're lactose intolerant?

[burntvinyl]

ive had braces for four years :o
meh i ate anything and everything. i chewed gum when i wasnt supposed to, and ate gummy bears.
im kinda a rebel :] haha but yeah, if your teeth hurt, eat ravioli and spaghetti (soft pastas!)
mmmm italian food.

[greenti]

i have braces right now..
and i can practically eat anything...

but for like apples..or other things hard..i have to cut it up..so i won't break my braces..
but i refuse to..cuz i'm so lazy...

so yeah..
i usually break my braces..^^;;

sometimes my braces hurt when i get them tightened..when i first got them, i went to a mexican resturant..cuz they didn't really start to hurt until later..
and yeah..i watch my dad eat.-__-;;

if it hurts really bad..
there's nothing you can do..except take painkillers and eat soup...or liquid food...

[vividified]

solution sloved dump all food in blender and eat!

MM when i had braces i ate steamed vegetables, savoury minced beef dish, cake!
