I agree with NikkiDaTeddy about eating food... I do that too... use fingers or utensils to cut food into smaller chunks, then only chew... i guess that is also healthy for us.. eat smaller piece and slower... good for digestion hehe..

QUOTE(tomatonz @ Jun 3 2010, 07:57 PM) i'm new to braces too...! It's been like 2 weeks already since I was "braced", now no feeling already... first week got la, the teeth were a bit lose... my upper and lower teeth cant be shut like it was before braces... first week, couldnt eat anything... apart from congee, can only eat soft food... but now can eat fried chicken but still have to be careful... if not like me, one of my bracket came off just 2 days ago... Aduhai! One of my brackets got loosed this morning after rinsing. Dr only be back on following Monday.Added on June 3, 2010, 7:59 pmoh yeah, i get mouth ulcer easily even before I had braces... but since I consume vitamin B complex with zinc, the ulcer doesnt grow big... it will stay small and dissappear in few days... oh yeah Anespian, do you get cuts from the braces?   Have to 'patient'ly wait now. Only two days got braced, but now ulcers or cuts from braces so far. Just a little discomfort on skin near right side of wisdom tooth. I was being naughty yesterday trying to eat little 'char siews' from fried rice. What a pain! Now I get the pic! The auntie of porridge stall near my house will be very please seeing me for the next 1 week.  Thank you all for the advise |

The texture of the noodle is soft enough for your teeth... yes, mi sua is good. besides, kuey teow soup or "wat dan hor" also can try. i personally like to dip hup seng cream crackers into hot milo until very soft. it's tasty, filling and FATTENING.oh ya, there's a type of healthy instant porridge, "Greenmax Yam & Multi Grains Cereal" also not bad. convenient, tasty and healthy. you can find it in most super/hypermarket like jusco, carrefour, tesco... |

When are you planning to get married? Added on June 5, 2010, 12:57 pmSo, lets encourage one another!! I think can ask the ortho to remove the braces for 1 day or so... then glue it back (with charges of course). I read in Kim Ong's blog - she did so. LOL. |
