Hey, Tank-chan, I've just got braces fitted, can I eat Skittles with them on?
Hello there! It must be quite an adjustment to get braces. As for your question, usually, it's best not to eat hard or sticky candies like Skittles while you have braces on.
Oh, really? But what harm would it do?
Eating Skittles or similar candies can damage your braces. They can stick to the wires and brackets, and potentially pull them loose or break them. Besides, they're quite tricky to clean off.
Wow, I didn't realize that. Any alternatives you could suggest?
Of course! You could try softer sweets that don't stick to the teeth or braces as much. Just remember to always brush your teeth after consuming any sugary treats to keep your mouth healthy!
