Waffles Are On The Menu!

Waffles are a popular breakfast food, and it isn’t hard to see why. They taste good, they’re easy to prepare, and they’re even easier to eat when you’re in a hurry. With modern-day appliances like the waffle iron, preparing these tasty treats can be easy enough for anyone.

Great for Brace Wearers

If that wasn’t good news for you, then brace yourself because it gets better! If you have your braces on right now, you can eat waffles with no problems! Waffles are generally an easy food for those who wear braces. The syrup and butter will likely be the most difficult part, but everything else should be fine.

Allergy Alert!

If your brace-wearing days are behind you or if you are currently without your braces, then it’s best to avoid waffles or other foods that require syrup until you get your braces on. If you happen to be allergic to nuts, corn, wheat, or gluten in regular syrup, then it’s especially important for you to avoid this food.

Why Not?

Waffles are generally a safe bet when it comes to eating with braces. However, there are some good reasons for you to protect yourself and your braces from waffle syrup.

Protect Your Braces!

Waffle syrup can be acidic and can wear down your braces over time. If this occurs, you’ll need to get them replaced early which will cost you extra. This is one of those times that protecting your teeth can cost you money in the long run.
