Braces Mein Kya Na Khaayein | Important Food List

Braces mein sirf khaane ki list yaad rakhne ki zaroorat nahi — ek simple rule yaad karo: "Koi bhi cheez jo daanton se seedha kaatni pade ya zyaada force chahiye — avoid karo." Neeche detailed list bhi hai India ke hisaab se.

⚠️ Bracket toot gaya? Agar koi bracket loose feel ho ya wire chubh raha ho — orthodontist ko call karein. Tab tak loose wax (orthodontic wax) laga lo taaki wire soft tissue ko hurt na kare.

🪥 Braces ke Saath Brushing — Kaise Karein?

Braces ke saath oral hygiene zyaada zaroori ho jaati hai — wires ke aas-paas plaque bahut jaldi jama hota hai:

Har khane ke baad brush karo

Braces mein sirf 2 baar kafi nahi — khana brackets ke aas-paas atakta hai. School ya office mein travel brush rakho.

Interdental brush use karo

Wire ke neeche regular brush nahi jaata. Interdental brush (small bottle brush) use karo — brackets ke beech aur wire ke neeche.

Fluoride mouthwash raat ko

Braces mein cavity risk zyaada hota hai — especially brackets ke aas-paas. Fluoride rinse extra protection deta hai.

Mirror mein check karo baad mein

Brush ke baad mirror se dekho — koi food particle toh nahi ataka. Special braces check ki habit daalo.

💡 Tightening ke baad ke 2-3 din: Jab bhi orthodontist tighten karta hai, dard zyaada hota hai. In 2-3 dinon mein sirf soft food khaao — khichdi, dahi, doodh, ice cream. Painkiller le sakte ho agar zyaada discomfort ho.

    ⏱️ Treatment time mat badhaao: Bracket baar baar todne se treatment time extend hota hai. Ek broken bracket = additional 1-2 month treatment. 2 saal ke braces sirf 2 saal chalein — isliye rules follow karna worth it hai.
  

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Braces lagwane ke turant baad kya khaayen?

Pehle 3-4 din sirf soft food — dahi, khichdi, soup, banana. Daant bahut sensitive hote hain fresh braces ke baad. Thanda khaana (ice cream bhi) comfort deta hai. Gradually normal soft foods mein jaao. Hard food pehle week mein bilkul nahi.

Kya braces mein pizza ya burger kha sakte hain?

Haan — par sahi tarike se. Hard crusty bread ko avoid karo. Soft bun burger — bite ko pieces mein tod ke khaao, seedha mat kaato. Pizza — soft crust choose karo, fork se khaao ya small pieces mein. Front teeth se seedha kaatna avoid karo. Brushing zaroor baad mein.

Braces mein chai aur cold drink pi sakte hain?

Cold drinks strongly avoid karein — acid + sugar brackets ke aas-paas enamel damage karta hai aur white spots chhod deta hai jab braces utarte hain. Chai pi sakte hain lekin staining hoti hai (ceramic brackets pe zyaada). Agar peena ho toh straw use karo aur baad mein brush karo ya kulla karo.

Wire gum mein chubh raha hai — kya karein?

Orthodontic wax (dental wax) lagao — wire ke upar — yeh gum ko protect karta hai. Clinic se ya medical store se milta hai. Agar wire bahut zyaada chubh raha ho ya gum mein ghus gaya ho toh orthodontist ko call karein. Apne aap wire mat kato ya moddo.
