Can you Eat Reese’s with Braces?

Yes, you can eat Reese’s and other candy with your braces still in place safely as long as you follow a few simple steps. How to properly eat Reese’s with braces:

Watch what you are doing while eating them

Remove any food particles from around your teeth area before popping the candy In your mouth so it does not accidentally get caught between your teeth or on your wires.

Chew Reese’s candy slowly and carefully.

You can also melt the chocolate off of it by letting it rest in your mouth for a few moments before eating

ALWAYS remember to brush after eating such candies just to be safe, even if you haven’t eaten any food particles into your braces. Otherwise, you will at least want to rinse your mouth out with water because sugar tends to linger on teeth and can lead to cavities or other dental hygiene problems over time.

How long do I need to wait after eating Reese’s?

It is always best practice to rinse thoroughly with water after eating anything sugary, whether wearing braces or not. But if you are thinking about how long should I wait until brushing my teeth with braces after eating Reese’s, you will need to wait about an hour since the candy is so sugary.

Eating anything hard or chewy right before brushing can also damage your wires because it can pull on them roughly. If you have any types of questions about being able to eat Reeses with braces or other foods that are difficult to chew or not supposed to be eaten when wearing braces, be sure to ask your orthodontist.
