The most important thing to avoid is BITING into anything anymore, like a apple or bagel. You will now have to cut and slice food and chew them carefully. Try and make sure the food is on top of the teeth so you can chew properly. The food to avoid are anything that is hard and sticky. Here are some of things you should avoid, Carmel, chewing on ice, apples, sweetcorn- you will have to take the kernel off the sweet corn and then eat it. Same thing goes for bagel- you will have to tear the bread apart and then eat it. Try and avoid any type of chewing gum and candies. The main thing is to chew your food with all top surfaces of your teeth. Good Luck to having the perfect smile for the rest of your life.
