You can eat Sour Patch kids with braces, but you shouldn’t. Sugary, sticky treats are almost impossible to brush out of your mental braces so that they can cause plaque build-up. You may develop cavities and stains that affect how your teeth look after the braces come off.
Choose healthy snack choices such as yogurt, fruits, vegetables, and cut-up cheese to protect your teeth. Avoid the sugary, sticky stuff as much as possible, and you’ll be healthier overall.
