Follow the advice in this little rhyme, no broken braces will help you finish on time!
HARD & STICKY snacks should be avoided; use COMMON SENSE so you're not disappointed!
CARAMEL & TAFFY will pull off your braces; longer treatment time will result in sad faces!
POPCORN & NUTS are fun at a movie; they'll pop off your braces which isn't very groovy!
PIZZA & BREAD CRUST may be the best part; this is how most bent wires will start!
BAGELS, PRETZELS & even a BONE; will knock off a bracket so leave well alone!
DORITOS & TACOS are a nice spicy treat; but for breaking braces they're hard to beat!
RAW FRUIT, even APPLES eaten the wrong way; will mean you'll probably be seeing the doctor today!
If HARD VEGGIES like CARROTS & CELERY are not cut small; off the teeth, the braces will fall!
We know GUM is fun to chew; but while you're in braces it's not really for you!
PENS & PENCILS should stay out of your mouth; otherwise your braces will be heading south!
This is so important we must say it twice-- NEVER, NEVER chew on ICE!
We will work hard as a team to build your new smile; otherwise you'll wear braces for a long long while.
