What can i eat with braces?

Hi, I got my braces yesterday and my teeth hurt like hell.
I can't chew, bite or anything I can only swalllow.
And the only things I can have is mash potato and porridge/oatmeal.
Got any other ideas of what I can eat?? thankyou

I would stick to the soft foods until the braces start to feel a little more confortable. Stick with soups, puddings, yogourt - basically anything that doesn't require much chewing.

Don't worry, the pain does go away

Jell-O pudding or just Jell-O cups

Soup broth without lots of chunks

A smoothie

Applesauce, yogurt, pudding, soup, ice cream.
Also, maybe you could sucker some milkshakes or slushes out of your parents.
Try the slimfast meal drinks too.

for now soft foods try yogurt, soups (such as vegtable) pudding, well pretty much all you can swallow..haha..that sounded funny..anywhoo..yea when I used to have braces I could only do that..eat tender things..ice cream, shakes for now, until your teeth get used to them and wont ache anymore. get what I mean?
oh and if your plannin to chew gum anytime soon chew 'sugar-free' gum only, rest will stick to your braces.

thank god im thru with that. haha..and well good luck.

Stay with like soft food until you are used to the feelin of having braces.
Even after you are used to them I wouldn't have things like rock, hard candy or even chewing gum because my friend has broken her brace a lot on stuff like that.

Good Luke

I lived off of mashed potatoes, apple sauce, and easy mac.

I have braces too and whn I first got mine, I lived off of macncheese.
muffins, pancakes, pasta, matzoballs, grits, mashed potatoes, latkes, applesause, smoothies, ice cream, gelato, pudding, salsa, baked beans, fishsticks, frenchfries, tuna, corn bread, meatloaf, pot roast.
trust me, the pain goes away after a couple of days.

Anything soft and easy!
Don't worry after a few days It will stop hurting and you'll get to et whatever you want!!!

milkshakes! Peanut butter

Hi,
I got my bottom row of braces yesterday and they hurt so much and I'm very hungry because I could only drink drinking yogurts which aren't very nice.
So I'm in your shoes. They are soo painful but when you eat the soft but of cucumber it soothes them and yogurt aswell.Anyway please keep in touch.
