What types of food and drinks should I avoid during my braces treatment?
在牙套治疗期间，我应该避免哪些类型的食物和饮料？
Eating some types of food can damage or even break your braces. For the first few days of your braces treatment, it is advisable that you keep to soft food or food that are cut into small pieces.
With fixed braces, you should avoid these food and drinks:
Sticky, chewy and sugary food – These can stick to your braces and are very difficult to remove.
Hard food – Hard food such as whole apples, carrots, French bread and crusty rolls can break the wires and brackets of your braces.
Fizzy drinks and natural fruit juices – There is a high chance that these drinks may cause tooth decay and erosion as they are often high in sugar and/or rather acidic. To minimise the staining of your brackets, use a straw to consume them.
吃某些类型的食物会损害甚至弄坏你的牙套。在矫治器治疗的头几天，建议你只吃软的食物或切成小块的食物。
使用固定矫治器，你应该避免这些食物和饮料：
粘性、耐嚼和含糖的食物- 这些食物会粘在你的牙套上，而且非常难以去除。
坚硬的食物- 坚硬的食物，如整个苹果、胡萝卜、法国面包和脆皮面包，会弄断牙套的钢丝和托架。
汽水和天然果汁- 这些饮料很有可能导致蛀牙和腐蚀，因为它们通常含有大量的糖和/或相当的酸性。为了尽量减少托架的染色，请使用吸管来饮用。
