What are some soft foods to eat when having braces?!


Question: What are some soft foods to eat when having braces.?
I just got mine a few days back, and they hurt like crazy! I have been living on milk and soup for the past few days. I also have a bad cold and a terribly irritated throat, so icecream and pudding and all that makes my throat go awful.
So what can I eat.? Any suggestions (especially for something not sweet) would be greatly appreciated.
Please list as many as you can. Thankyou.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
rice (whichever kind)...well cooked
jello
yogurt

my stupid orthodontist pulled out 4 of my baby molars at once when i was younger without asking my permission....i had no teeth to chew with and my gums were sore and bleeding.....i needed real food (not sweets) so i ate spanish rice mixed with queso for one week straight until my gums healed...i couldn't chew at all so the cheese was the only thing that let me swallow it all whole (yes i learned how to swallow medium cooked rice whole every day for a week...it was most certainly a feat

EDIT: yogurt doesn't have to be cold...you can get those cups and keep em outside until they get warmer

try eating peanut butter...it works great for a sore throat and you don't have to chew it...and it actually has some calories, so you won't be hungry all the time

you could also try a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and tear it into little chewable pieces...i used to do that too

and i'm putting more effort into this than i usually do since im sympathetic, so i would like the best answer if possible (just saying) haha

i know you have been feeling hungry....i know exactly how you feel...you feel like everything you eat is water-based and has no substance...that's why foods like peanut butter work great...i always eat peanut butter when i have a sore throat cuz it coats your throat and relieves the pain for a few minutes

indeed i do...you'll be fine in a couple of days...try to sleep a lot too....it'll take your mind off your growling stomach and your pain...feel better =)...but it is now 430 AM...so i am gonna crashHealth Question & Answer

omg when i got mine i wouldn't shut up, i whimpered like crazy when i was trying to bite through a strawberry!
i stuck to liquids and soft foods and stuff that could be sucked on and instead of chewing i sort of let things sit in my mouth until my saliva softened them (i know it sounds gross but its not that bad) i also used my tounge to crush things which worked pretty well.
try pasta
salmon or tuna-canned
bannana (break it up or cut it up before eating)
fruit smoothie
sorry that's all i can think of
the pain goes away in two weeks or less
im sorry yur going through it coz i know it kills
in one day i took about 7 painkillers (surprised im not dead)
just think about the pretty smile u will have =)
hope this helps.Health Question & Answer

Omg its so annoying when you first get them and cant find anything to eat.
Smoothies are really good and also mashed potatoes, pasta, soft bread um... can't think of much else.

Try using your back teeth to chew things if you can and also use your tounge to chew ( sounds weird but it works on some things ). Good luck with them - they are worth it! xxHealth Question & Answer

soup or anything wich you dont have to really chew
