Eat soft foods
Your teeth will very likely be sensitive as they shift after your braces are tightened. Avoid crunchy, hard, or difficult to eat foods and opt for more soft foods. Mashed potatoes, smoothies, pudding and soup are good options because they don’t require much chewing and involvement of the teeth.
Be patient
While it may be uncomfortable to get your braces tightened, just remember that the pain is temporary and will go away in a few days. Any discomfort will all be worth it when you get your braces removed and you’re left with a perfectly aligned smile!
