brackets, archwires, or aligners.<\/p><p>When patients frequently eat foods that are too hard, too chewy, or require strong biting force, orthodontic appliances may loosen, bend, become deformed, or shift out of their original position. This can interrupt the force used to move the teeth, causing tooth movement to deviate from the orthodontic plan and requiring the dentist to schedule an earlier appointment to adjust the appliance.<\/p><p>In addition to affecting orthodontic appliances, an unsuitable diet can also increase the risk of plaque buildup around the brackets, between the teeth, and along the gumline. Sticky, sugary, or hard to clean foods can create favorable conditions for bacteria to grow, leading to tooth decay, gum inflammation, bad breath, or more seriously, periodontal disease.<\/p><p>If oral health problems occur during the orthodontic process, the dentist must first stabilize and manage these conditions before continuing tooth tightening, because the teeth and periodontal tissues need to be healthy enough to respond well to orthodontic forces.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29235 size-full\" title=\"T\u1ea7m quan tr\u1ecdng c\u1ee7a ch\u1ebf \u0111\u1ed9 \u0103n u\u1ed1ng trong qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh ni\u1ec1ng r\u0103ng\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tam-quan-trong-cua-che-do-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang.jpg\" alt=\"T\u1ea7m quan tr\u1ecdng c\u1ee7a ch\u1ebf \u0111\u1ed9 \u0103n u\u1ed1ng trong qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh ni\u1ec1ng r\u0103ng \" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tam-quan-trong-cua-che-do-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang.jpg 900w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tam-quan-trong-cua-che-do-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/tam-quan-trong-cua-che-do-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-304ab50b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"304ab50b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Orthodontic patients should follow the dietary guidelines recommended by their dentist throughout the braces process.

In contrast, with bracket braces, chewing force can directly affect the brackets and archwires. Therefore, if you chew incorrectly, you may experience soreness, loose brackets, or changes that affect orthodontic progress.<\/p><p>Below are some guidelines to help you chew more comfortably while wearing bracket braces:<\/p><ul><li>Step 1: Cut food into small pieces before eating<\/li><\/ul><p>Instead of biting directly with your front teeth, you should cut food into small, bite sized pieces. This helps reduce pressure on the teeth and orthodontic appliances, thereby limiting the risk of loose brackets, detached elastics, or bent archwires.<\/p><ul><li>Step 2: Prioritize chewing with your molars<\/li><\/ul><p>Molars are the main teeth responsible for grinding food, making them more suitable for chewing during the braces process. Patients should avoid using their front teeth to bite or tear food, especially during the early stage after brackets are placed or after each adjustment.<\/p><p>At this time, the teeth are often more sensitive than usual. If you bite forcefully or chew hard foods with your front teeth, you may feel soreness, sensitivity, and may easily affect the orthodontic appliances.<\/p><ul><li>Step 3: Eat slowly and chew gently<\/li><\/ul><p>When wearing braces, you should eat slowly and chew with moderate force. Chewing too quickly or using excessive force can make the teeth more painful, especially when they are under pulling force from the brackets and archwires.<\/p><p>Eating slowly and chewing carefully not only helps reduce pressure on the teeth but also lowers the risk of loose or detached brackets while eating. This is also a good habit that helps people with braces control their meals more easily and protect orthodontic appliances throughout the braces process.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29242 size-full\" title=\"C\u1eaft nh\u1ecf th\u1ee9c \u0103n tr\u01b0\u1edbc khi \u0103n gi\u00fap gi\u1ea3m l\u1ef1c c\u1eafn l\u00ean r\u0103ng, h\u1ea1n ch\u1ebf bung m\u1eafc c\u00e0i\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/an-gi-sau-khi-nieng-rang.jpg\" alt=\"C\u1eaft nh\u1ecf th\u1ee9c \u0103n tr\u01b0\u1edbc khi \u0103n gi\u00fap gi\u1ea3m l\u1ef1c c\u1eafn l\u00ean r\u0103ng, h\u1ea1n ch\u1ebf bung m\u1eafc c\u00e0i\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/an-gi-sau-khi-nieng-rang.jpg 900w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/an-gi-sau-khi-nieng-rang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/an-gi-sau-khi-nieng-rang-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac8a3e2 at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ac8a3e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Some Notes on Eating During the Braces Process<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7794e2b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7794e2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To care for your oral health and help the orthodontic process progress more smoothly, you should pay attention to your eating habits, oral hygiene routine, and follow up appointments as instructed by your dentist.<\/p><ul><li>During the first few days after brackets are placed or after an adjustment, your teeth may feel sore and more sensitive than usual. At this time, you should eat slowly, chew carefully, prioritize soft foods, and cut food into smaller pieces before eating to reduce pressure on the teeth and orthodontic appliances.<\/li><li>You should also avoid using your teeth to bite hard objects such as bottle caps, can tabs, ice cubes, or foods that are too chewy or too crunchy. These habits can loosen brackets, shift archwires, or damage the teeth during the braces process.<\/li><li>In addition to diet, oral hygiene should be performed more thoroughly every day. You should use a soft bristled toothbrush and brush your teeth after meals, before going to bed, and after waking up. You can also use fluoride toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash to help protect tooth enamel and reduce the risk of tooth decay.<\/li><li>In addition, attend follow up appointments on schedule so your dentist can monitor tooth movement, adjust orthodontic appliances when needed, and address any unusual issues early.<\/li><\/ul><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-29243 size-full\" title=\"M\u1ed9t s\u1ed1 l\u01b0u \u00fd khi \u0103n u\u1ed1ng trong qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh ni\u1ec1ng r\u0103ng\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mot-so-luu-y-khi-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang.jpg\" alt=\"M\u1ed9t s\u1ed1 l\u01b0u \u00fd khi \u0103n u\u1ed1ng trong qu\u00e1 tr\u00ecnh ni\u1ec1ng r\u0103ng\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mot-so-luu-y-khi-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang.jpg 900w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mot-so-luu-y-khi-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Mot-so-luu-y-khi-an-uong-trong-qua-trinh-nieng-rang-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-670d948c at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"670d948c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CONCLUSION\"><\/span>CONCLUSION<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67915fe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67915fe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The information above helps you understand <strong>What Foods to Eat and Avoid with Braces<\/strong> to reduce soreness, protect orthodontic appliances, and support steady tooth movement.

You should not bite directly into a piece of fried chicken because the crispy crust and chewy meat can loosen brackets or bend archwires. It is best to shred the chicken into small pieces, remove the bones, and limit eating crust that is too hard to reduce pressure on the teeth and orthodontic appliances.\"}}]}<\/script>\n                \n    <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a031070 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3a031070\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_has_onepagescroll_dot&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27bb93d0 at-heading-animation at-animation-heading-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"27bb93d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">---------- Braces Knowledge ----------<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5127c757 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementskit-blog-posts\" data-id=\"5127c757\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"elementskit-blog-posts.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ekit-wid-con\" >\n        <div id=\"post-items--5127c757\" class=\"row post-items ekit-blog-posts-content wihout-masonry \" data-enable=\"no\">\n\n\t\t\t<!-- Blog Carousel markup render -->\n\t\t\t\n\n            <div class=\"col-lg-3 col-md-6\">\n\n                                    <div class=\"elementskit-post-image-card\">\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-entry-header\">\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/en\/yellow-teeth-during-braces\/\" class=\"elementskit-entry-thumb\">\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Yellow-Teeth-During-Braces-smilux.jpg\" alt=\"Yellow Teeth During Braces\">\n                                <\/a><!-- .elementskit-entry-thumb END -->\n                                                                                                    <div class=\"elementskit-meta-lists elementskit-style-tag\">\n                                        <div class=\"elementskit-single-meta triangle_left\"><span class=\"elementskit-meta-wraper\"><strong>15<\/strong>Jun<\/span><\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                            \n                                                            <div class=\"elementskit-meta-categories\">\n                                    <span class=\"elementskit-meta-wraper\">\n                                        <span><a href=\"https:\/\/smilux.vn\/en\/braces-knowledge\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Braces Knowledge<\/a><\/span>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                                                    <\/div><!-- .elementskit-entry-header END -->\n\n                        <div class=\"elementskit-post-body \">\n                            \n                                                                                                                                                        \n                                        \n                                                                                                                                                                            <p>Yellow Teeth During Braces is a common issue many patients experience during orthodontic treatment due to plaque buildup, inadequate oral hygiene, or dietary habits.
