BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
Hey guys,
The orthodontist tightened my braces the other day with an unbelievably heavy wire. I'm passed pissed I'm in so much pain. The only thing I have in the house are grits, oatmeal, and mashed potatoes. Are there any more soft foods you can think of that I can eat? I"m starving and I'm sick of the aforementioned foods. :'( Please help!!

Re: BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
Oooh...I remember that. Ouch.
I used to make sandwiches and cut them up into little bits and kind of gum at them...applesauce was a big one...alphaghetti too, but that's not really food :D

We have Spaghetti-O's, which is similar. My ex used to eat that shit once in awhile. Ugh.

Make sure you get the ones without the meatballs or franks. ;)

Banana baby food...really, it's good.

Re: BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
Does it taste like real food, just mushed up?

Re: BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
I have braces so let me tell you, i swear everything hurt the first 3 days with extreme tightening or new crazy wires. ( like the arch wires etc. )
I would eat super good right before and tough the rest out ( the 3 days . ) with spaghetti , soups that didnt require any chewing and pudding.
I think almost everything sorta hurt if my teeth had to come together at all. I know it's "bad" to chew gum., but i do it anyways and i swear it helps because it relieves the tension.

I had my braces in the 80's.Damn,I'm old,LOL!!!

When I had braces back in the 80's, there were several times I survived on homemade chicken & noodles. Mashed potatos are good, especially if you mix them with the chicken & noodles.

LOL! Believe it or not, I showed a couple of guys my braces, and they would ask for a dance right then and there. Wierd, huh? I do look pretty young though, I ALWAYS get ID'd, so I guess it's that middle school/high school girl thing.

I remember I was actually dissapointed when mine came off. lol. And yes, the baby food tastes just like bananas with a texture very easy on the teeth.

Re: BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
Man! I've had braces since October (2nd time around....just to straighten some cockeyed teeth out)
My favorite foods ever are : Jamba Juice (a smoothie place), Kraft Thick and Creamy Mac N Cheese (tastes better than the regular), any kind of pasta really, Valley Grains bread (super super soft), Lofthouse sugar cookies (again really soft and fluffy), potatos, apple sauce, ice cream, rice (until it gets stuck under the wire)
And you know what the bonus is to braces??? Its a great weight loss program LOL.

Re: BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
What about Naked brand juices? The green machine tastes great.

Re: BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
^^You're damn right about the weight loss program. I'm already a size 2 (0 in skirts)! Geezus Christ, I'm gonna have some 'splainin' to do! I'm an Afro-Rican from ATL so both the southerners and the Latins are gonna say, "Oh, you don't eat, chile! Eat something!" They already look at me like I have a terminal illness now. Leave me alone! I just don't like eating a lot of food! It feels gross!
Mind you, I still have all of my curves, so what's the big deal?! LOL

Re: BRACES HURTING TEETH...Any food ideas?
I, too, had braces in the '80s! When tightening, I ate pretty much any fruit flavor of baby food (they're all tasty), yogurt, cottage cheese, hommous & tabouli (no pita, couldn't chew it), oatmeal, pudding, soups, beefy mushroom soup over egg noodles (still a favorite comfort food), udon, pad thai (no meet or veggies), and toast dunked in tea.
