Question:

ceramic braces care.?

i just got them today. my orthodontistwasn‘t really clear on care instructions.he just said that i can‘t have sticky foods,to use the fluoride gel, and floss and brush.all of which were obvious.i know that the ceramic are more fragile, soi was wondering if there were other thingsthat i can‘t eat or do. or if there are any otherthings that he may have failed to mention.

Answer:

You can do al those things they just recommend you dont do it I have braces and I eat and chew some sticky things but just dont get them on the brackets or stuck in the wires and dont drink to much soda alot other than that when you bite hard or tough meat dont rip it up to fast try to soften it with biting a little first
My sister has ceramics. What he said is good for the first couple months, then you can pretty much eat anything you just have to be careful. What i recommend for ceramics is to carry a toothbrush with you EVERYWHERE! because you eat stuff and it turns the brackets and your teeth that color anf it looks really nasty.
I've never even heard of ceramic braces. You can probably find something on google though.
