can i eat snickers with braces

Well, it's not an exact science, but the general advice from orthodontists tends to be avoiding hard, sticky, chewy snacks. Snickers, as you know, is quite chewy and might stick to your braces, causing some damage or discomfort.

While the caramel and nougat might seem soft, they can be quite sticky. They could get stuck in the wires and brackets of your braces, potentially causing them to break or snap, which would mean an unexpected trip to the orthodontist. It's better to be on the safe side.

I am no expert but based on advice, softer treats like chocolate bars without caramel or nuts, soft cookies, or fruit are usually safe bets. You could always ask your orthodontist for a list of safe sweets. Remember, improving your smile will be worth this small sacrifice. Keep up with routine dental care and, in no time, you'll be able to enjoy all your favorite treats again.
