FOR THOUGHT

Follow the advice in this little rhyme – no broken braces will help you finish on time

HARD & STICKY snacks should be avoided; use COMMON SENSE so you’re not disappointed

CARAMEL & TAFFY will pull off your braces; longer treatment time will result in sad faces

POPCORN & NUTS are fun at a movie; they’ll pop off your braces which isn’t very groovy

PIZZA & BREAD CRUST may be the best part; this is how most bent wires will start

BAGELS, PRETZELS & even a BONE; will knock off a bracket so leave well alone

DORITOS & TACOS are a nice spicy treat; but for breaking braces they’re hard to beat

RAW FRUIT, even APPLES eaten the wrong way; will mean you’ll probably be seeing Dr B. today

If HARD VEGGIES like CARROTS & CELERY are not cut small; off the teeth, the braces will fall

We know GUM is fun to chew; but while you’re in braces it’s not really for you

PENS & PENCILS should stay out of your mouth; otherwise your braces will be heading south

This is so important we must say it twice - NEVER, NEVER chew on ICE

We will work hard as a team to build your new smile; otherwise you’ll wear braces for a long while
