The initial 24 hours following the installation of orthodontic appliances often present dietary limitations. The primary objective is to minimize discomfort and avoid damaging the newly affixed brackets and wires. Opting for foods that require minimal chewing and exert limited pressure on the teeth is paramount.
Adherence to a soft-food diet during this period facilitates the adjustment process and contributes to the longevity of the orthodontic treatment. Selecting appropriate foods reduces the risk of dislodging brackets, bending wires, and experiencing increased pain. This careful consideration promotes a more comfortable and effective orthodontic journey.
