The CRUST of the PIZZA is the best part, and the place where all of the bent wires start.

A HARD ROLL or PRETZEL or BAGEL or BONE will knock off your braces, so leave them alone.

DORITOS or TACOS with shells that are hard can be fed to the birdies in the backyard.

POPCORN and movies are fun for all, but the pain POPCORN causes is no fun at all.

BEEF JERKY and SLIM JIMS are fun to eat, but for wrecking your braces- they're hard to beat!

All RIBS and MEATS that are found on the BONE are the types of foods that should be left alone.

CORN ON THE COB you should never eat, but removed from the cob it can taste just as sweet!

HARD CANDY and LOLLIPOPS are a sweet delight, but will damage your braces if you ever do bite.

CARAMEL and TAFFY and SUGAR GUM sticks to your braces, which isn't much fun.

Biting ICE from a cool drink is refreshing I know, but it destroys your braces- so 1000 times NO!

Biting your FINGERNAILS is a hard habit to break, but doing it with braces is a big mistake.

PENS, PENCILS and POPSICLE STICKS can ruin your braces; if you chew them they cause lots of unhappy faces.

All of these foods should be avoided for a while, but remember it's all for a beautiful smile!
