Getting Wiser

Since yesterday's braces pain came mostly when I ate, I decided to follow what everyone was telling me and eat soft foods. And guess what? It actually worked! Today was so much better.

Great foods to eat after getting braces: 

• Mashed potatoes
• Fruit, especially ripe ones
• Soup
• Noodles
• Rice 
• Bread
• Yogurt
• Smoothies and milkshakes
• and of course, Ice cream. 

There are also lots of recipes online you can find for more soft foods. You will only have to eat these while your mouth adjusts to the braces.

I am super excited to see my smile when I am done with this process, but until then- I will be eating lots of soft foods and eating slowly.
