Do not eat things that are hard sticky or sharp. Also bagels will break braces you must be careful while your eating anything that is not soft, also you should avoid things that are very sugary and make sure you clean your mouth regularly by flossing and brushing
With braces it is best to avoid foods that are hard, crunchy or sticky. Especially bad are caramel and taffy for example. Also you need to avoid chewing on ice, pens, etc.
With traditional braces the rule of foods is that you should stay away from hard and sticky foods. Generally sticky foods should be avoided due to sugar content. With Clear Aligners there's less concern about what you can and cannot eat and Clear Aligners are a great way to treat most orthodontic issues!!
We usually suggest avoiding any hard, crunchy foods with braces: don't eat nuts or ice cubes. Also, try to avoid foods with a lot of sugar, and try to avoid or reduce the amount of carbonated beverages, sports drinks, and soda, which have acid and sugar.
