While Dr. Lee and our team at Evergreen Orthodontics always make sure to go over braces-friendly foods and explain what’s off limits (e.g., taffy, gum, whole raw carrots or apples and popcorn), we know sometimes patients are left scratching their heads when it comes time to put their braces diet plan into action. First, we have to say you can still eat most of the things you love, however, when you initially get your brackets and wires put on, and after adjustments, your teeth might feel a bit sensitive, so soft foods and cold drinks will be your best friends. The same goes for our Invisalign patients who may experience sensitivity when they wear a new set of aligners. Being the helpful, food-loving office we are, we’re eliminating the guesswork for you with a compilation of 20 awesome braces recipes.
This smoothie is one of our favorite recipes for braces wearers because it’s cold and soft and will soothe your mouth. Plus, it contains antioxidants from the fresh strawberries and blueberries, vitamin C from the orange juice, the slightly spicy flavor of ginger and protein and calcium from low-fat yogurt.
Foods To Eat When You Get New Braces
Steamed vegetables are definitely among the top soft foods to eat with braces but let’s face it, they can be boring on their own. Betty Crocker found a way to amp them up. The recipe combines fresh steamed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots make great choices) with a sauce made from butter, garlic, grated lime peel, a teaspoon of finely chopped Serrano chili pepper, salt and fresh lime juice.
Looking for ideas for braces-friendly school lunches? Well, we have a cool one for you! Instead of a hard roll that can run the risk of damaging brackets, make sandwiches with soft, fluffy pancakes. Simply add a thin layer of peanut butter and some slices of banana (make sure your child rinses with water or brushes after since peanut butter can get stuck in braces) or a bit of cream cheese and a drizzle of honey.
Sushi is the ultimate braces food. It’s bite-sized, healthy and soft. This recipe for California rolls is fairly easy to make. Add it to your list of recipes for adults with braces, though kids and teens will probably love it too.

Tiny orzo pasta barely requires chewing and grilled zucchini is tender, yet it’s the Mediterranean flavors that make this a must for our list of braces safe recipes. In addition to the aforementioned orzo and grilled zucchini, you’ll find olive oil, shallots, the zest and juice of lemons, fresh dill and feta cheese for one tangy dinner.

Chicken soup is a classic, satisfying, warming choice, particularly when teeth are feeling extra sensitive. This recipe combines chicken, broth, carrots, celery, chopped onion, white rice, parsley and a sprinkle of kosher salt that will taste like it came from grandma’s kitchen.
This high protein, healthy, vegan version of a milkshake is the ideal food for braces wearers.

It has no flavor so the shake takes on its dessert-quality from the vanilla, banana and agave. Almond milk, chia seeds and rolled oats round out the ingredient list.
Braces Friendly Food
When it comes to recipes for kids with braces, mac and cheese is always a sure bet. Homemade is a lot healthier than the kind that comes in a box and this version is a breeze to whip up.

These muffins are perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions and they make a healthy breakfast or snack. We’d recommend skipping the raw walnut topping if you’re wearing braces unless you crush or grind the walnuts up really fine. We love that this recipe can be made in one bowl too. If you’re feeding them to the kids, the banana, applesauce, agave nectar and cinnamon will throw them off the carrot scent.
While biting into a hard taco shell can be risky when you’re wearing braces, soft tacos get the green light. The shredded pork in these soft tacos will melt in your mouth and the spices add tons of flavor. Top it off with sour cream, cilantro and lime wedges for serving.

As a bonus, you can put these together quickly.
