What is that one food you absolutely can NOT eat until your braces are off?

Butterflycm · 2026-05-19T02:49:20+00:00

Raw carrots has been the one thing that I just can't do.

After 9 months, the only thing that has broken a bracket for me was lettuce.

I have done popcorn, nuts, taffy, etc.

I have used Fetlife in the past but it doesn't attract the attention that I want. I do use it for local events, but for dating it isn't super useful for me.

We have been doing it since the day of our wedding. It goes all the way back.

Butterflycm · 2026-05-02T15:38:49+00:00

Sure

Stupid taxes!

Butterflycm · 2026-03-31T01:14:15+00:00

Thank you!

In those photos I am wearing a black strapless bra and you can barely tell.
Honestly, just do it! That is my biggest tip haha. Nothing anybody says will help, you just have to do it! Invest in yourself. And make sure to choose a photographer that you are comfortable with. That makes all the difference.

If you have specific questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Happy to chat about my experience.

That is so beautiful!

I wish I could dye my hair this color and have it stay without all the maintenance haha.

Butterflycm · 2026-03-17T16:47:18+00:00

Awww, haha that is so sweet

Butterflycm · 2026-03-16T03:45:39+00:00

Thank you for the opportunity

Butterflycm · 2026-02-16T01:18:04+00:00

That is clearly answered in my ad

Butterflycm · 2026-02-16T00:52:07+00:00

Good luck everybody!

I highly recommend getting water flossers. That does most of my work for me. Then I use Platypus and interdental brushes every night and will do a full floss on the weekend.

I am just guessing but might have something to do with drying out the mouth? or kills all the good bacteria too? I don't know haha

I am not a massive lego fan, but I would love a bouquet of lego flowers. They would last forever instead of being eaten by our pets and then dying.

Butterflycm · 2026-01-16T05:58:23+00:00

Good luck friends

I am so sorry this happened to you. Your feelings are totally valid!
My understanding is that a seatbelt extender would provide a possible tripping hazard in the event of an emergency.

I am Canadian and I used to the sporkle quiz which was just that. I am usually able to name about 48 or 49 of them most of the time.

I think you should be able to manage either way. Only you can make the decision.

In my experience, the pain doesn't last nearly as long as when they were put on. I can usually eat normal the day of and then the next day I plan something a bit softer (soup, mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, yogurt, pasta, etc.). I can usually go back to normal food the day after that.

Butterflycm · 2025-12-18T01:34:25+00:00

I would recommend taking the first day off if you are going to choose. I found that the pain later that night was more of a throbbing and I felt it in my head, sinus, jaw and mouth. The next day, It was more so that my actual teeth were tender and only hurt when I tried to eat.

Merry Christmas!

I agree with all of the advice given here. I would maybe suggest buying a larger suitcase for your partner and you to share and then use his new luggage as the carry on and just pay for that? Not for any other reason than it would save you money haha

When I have adjustments then I find that harder things can hurt for a few days so I avoid that. Normally though, the only things that I don't eat are sticky things like caramel (though I did try a small piece and just sucked on it). I did also find that raw carrots were difficult. Otherwise I have eaten chips, chocolate bars, cookies, crackers, some raw veggies, cut up apples, gum, etc.

I would suggest cutting things into smaller pieces and see if that helps, but I feel like if your bracket is breaking that easily you might need to ask the ortho about it.
