Styrt<\/strong> or any member of our staff during your next adjustment!<br>Eating<br>When  you have braces, there are a few types of food that can damage your  brackets and bend your wires, leading to more appointments and longer  treatment times. By simply avoiding sticky, chewy, crunchy, and hard  foods, as well as foods that require biting into like corn on the cob,  your orthodontic experience will be much easier.<br>Cleaning<br>You\u2019ll  never believe the amount of food that can get stuck between your braces  when you eat. In addition to causing bad breath and tooth decay, it  looks pretty gross, too. It\u2019s so important to brush your teeth after  every meal and floss every day, and even though it\u2019s kind of a hassle,  it\u2019ll all be worth it in the end.<br>Sports<br>Protecting your smile if  you play sports is essential when you have braces. Mouthguards help  protect your teeth and gums from injury. <strong>Dr. Paul J. Styrt<\/strong>  can create a custom mouthguard just for you if you plan on  participating in any kind of contact sport or you can purchase an  adjustable mouthguard at the front desk and the doctors will be happy to  mold it to your mouth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you get braces at Dr. Paul J.
