Chew on this: Braces520 by Andrew Rosen Orthodontics shares what you can and can’t eat while wearing braces, and what to do if your braces become a total pain in the mouth.

When it comes to protecting your teeth and orthodontia, common sense will usually tell you what foods and beverages to stay away from. For the most part, though, the main categories to avoid include: hard foods, sticky foods and foods high in sugar.

A bite plate is a full time wearing appliance, used in fixing your deep overbite. Braces520 provides effective therapy and aftercare for your corrected bite. Read on below to learn more about how to properly wear and take care of your bite plate.

To correct a protrusion and overbite, on of the most common orthodontic problems, we use a MARA appliance, short for mandibular anterior repositioning appliance. This orthodontic appliance is an ideal step for teeth and jaw correction prior to braces.

Orthodontic separators are elastic (usually blue or gray) separators or spacers that are placed in between the back teeth so that orthodontists can more easily place an orthodontic band (like a ring on a finger) on a tooth or teeth the following week.

We’re so excited to partner with you on your journey to a more beautiful, healthy, and confident smile! Dr. Rosen or Dr. Decker have likely prescribed a rapid palatal expander to assist in your braces treatment. Please read and follow these dental instructions carefully.
