Most meats, fruits, vegetables are allowed.  Do be careful with apples, raw carrots, celery, peaches, plums and any meat that is on the bone.  They must be cut into small pieces or thin strips before eating. 

Warning:  Failure to follow this advice will result in broken brackets and bent wires.  This will prolong treatment time.  As long as there is a loose bracket, the tooth will not move.  If a broken bracket does occur, please contact our office immediately (248 476-3000) and we will be happy to schedule an emergency appointment.
