What can you not drink with braces?

Drinks and beverages that are highly sugary and acidic should be avoided as they may cause plague, leading to tooth decay. Coffee and tea with high caffeine content or without milk products should be lessened. Try using a straw to avoid any contact with the drink.

• Carbonated Beverages
• Juices from fruits
• Energizing drinks
• Sports Beverages
• Alcohol

The best choice to drink with braces is normal water anytime you want, and this will help reduce plaque buildup on both your teeth and dental braces. Because the teeth are sensitive during the initial stage, most orthodontists recommend avoiding too hot or cold drinks after getting braces. Some options include.

• Drinking-Water
• Milk Products
• Smoothies
• Low Sugar Drinks
• Yogurt
• Green and herbal teas

While these drinks are not harmful to the braces, they should be consumed within the limit. Coffee and tea can leave visible stains on braces. Beverages with sugar and acidic nature weaken your teeth. Some points to remember while drinking anything:

• Acidic nature: The most acidic beverages are those made with soda or fruit juices. Acid can damage the enamel of teeth if left on them for too long, making you vulnerable to disease-causing bacteria. 
• Sugar: Cold drinks and Alcoholic beverages almost certainly contain sugar. Bacteria feed on sugar left on your teeth, producing acid.
• Color: The pigments in many wines and drinks can discolor your teeth. Stay away from colored drinks and red wines to keep your teeth bright and healthy. 

Consult your orthodontist if the discomfort is causing too much pain.
