I just got my braces on! When can I actually eat regular foods again? In the meantime, what food CAN I eat??
Question: My teeth are too sore to eat, even though I've taken Advil. What can I eat and when will I be able to eat solids again?
Answers: Having braces really sucks. Eat some soft foods. Spaghetti, ice cream, pudding, applesauce. You should be able to eat your favorite foods within a few days.
Today, there are many different types of braces. Also, you may or may not have any other dental problems. Speak to your orthodontist and ask him/her for their advise and a list of what you can or cannot eat. They should have provided you with one.

You should be able to eat your favorites in a few days again. In the meantime, try finger foods or food that you don't really have to chew......mashed potatoes, applesauce, jello, pudding, soup, etc.
When your teeth are not sore you can eat solid foods again. While they are sore you can eat stuff such as mashed potatoes, cream corn (or regular if they are not to sore), pudding, ice cream, suck a popsicle, applesause, see other answers for mroe detail becasue they are probably better than mine.
