Eating with Separators in the mouth

What exactly are separators?

These are devices made from rubber or metal to make room for the braces placed in between the teeth. Separators can potentially make the gums feel sore. That is why they are to be maintained. Here we shall talk about what is to be eaten when the separators are on.

Soft food-

Always resort to soft food. Resort to soft food till the pain subsides. It is important that you take soft food that can be taken directly without much chewing involved, especially in the initial days after instalment. Cereals, yogurt, vegetable soup, milk, juice, etc will help. Also, you can blend the food in a mixer grinder.

Cut the food into small pieces-

It is important that you cut the food into small pieces. Make sure that you cut them into small pieces especially the fruits and the vegetables.

Chew softly-

attempt to chew softly. Since your gums and teeth are likely to be sore, chewing down the food very softly and delicately is a good option to prevent sensitivity and enhancement of the soreness.

Steam the food-

If you are eating hard vegetables, it is advised that you steam the product. Steaming the product will reduce the hardness and will soften the food.

No sticky items-

avoid consuming sticky products like bubble gums. The more you chew the greater the pain or the soreness. Mineralize the intake of sugar. And more importantly quit smoking.
