Eating with Braces



For most situations, common sense will tell you which foods you should try to resist. Hard foods, sticky foods and foods that are high in sugar should be avoided. While the bonding agent we use is very strong, hard foods tend to break or damage the wires and brackets. Sticky foods can easily get caught in between your brackets and wires.  Finally, while we know that chocolate glazed doughnut is calling your name, you should minimize sugary foods since they cause tooth decay and other related problems.

Here are a few more suggestions when it comes to eating with braces.
  • Try taking smaller bites.
  • Limit the consumption of soda and sugary drinks.
  • Before eating corn, try cutting it off of the cob.
  • Avoid chewing ice which tends to break brackets.
  • Avoid biting on pen caps and pencils.
  • Avoid chewing your fingernails.
We hope this simple list helps you to properly plan what to eat and not eat when in orthodontic treatment.

What Makes the Damon System Different?


  • Fast treatment time and fewer office visits:  If you want a shorter treatment time, the Damon System is right for you.  Shorter treatment time means fewer appointments and a beautiful smile faster than traditional braces.
  • Beautiful faces ad beautiful smiles!  The Damon System's unique treatment philosophy goes beyond straightening teeth.  We analyze each patients' face, profile and other factors, anticipating what you will look like in your 40s, 50s, and beyond to create a broad, beautiful smile.
  • Outstanding comfort:  Forget having your braces tightened.  The Damon System uses tie-less brackets to reduce pressure on your teeth and allow them to move more comfortably to their correct positions.
  • Braces for all ages:  At any age, straight teeth and a beautiful smile can enhance self-esteem and self-confidence, as well as improve your overall oral health.

April is National Facial Protection Month

When do you need a mouth guard? 
Any time you participate in sports!
Let's work together to protect that smile of yours.  Just by wearing a mouth guard, you reduce the risk of knocking out teeth or breaking your jaw.  Any time you're engaged in an activity where your face can come in contact with something hard-say another player, a ball, the pavement, or any hard object-it's a time that you should be wearing a mouth guard!  Mouth guards are a smart investment in your dental health.  If you currently are enrolled in sports and do not have a mouth guard, we would be happy to supply you with one.  Just ask us about mouth guards at your next appointment!  We want to do all we can to help you protect that great smile!
