๐ง Why Cold Foods Help with Braces ๐ง
New braces or a recent adjustment? Cold foods like ice water, smoothies, yogurt, and ice cream help soothe soreness by reducing inflammation and numbing sensitivity.
โ๏ธ Bonus ortho science: Many orthodontic wires are temperature-sensitive. Cooler temperatures can help the wires feel more relaxed, which may ease pressure while your teeth are adjusting.
๐ฆStick to soft, cold foods (no chewing ice!), and rememberโany tenderness is temporary. Your new smile is on the way! ๐
