“What can you eat the first week of braces?”
I'm 21, and I'm going to have my braces put on next week. What can I actually eat with braces for the first week? Are there any foods I should avoid?

You should follow the guidelines your doctor gave you regarding foods to avoid so that you won't damage your braces. Beyond that, you can eat anything you can tolerate. Each day, the tooth sensitivity will lessen and you will be able to eat more solid foods.
You can eat anything that is not uncomfortable to chew.
You cannot bite into hard foods like apples and carrots; you need a softer diet in the beginning!
