Got my braces on yesterday, and they put these blue caps on my back molars so I don’t accidentally bite my brackets off.
My question is, how do I bite down to chew food? I obviously am only eating soft foods right now, but as soon as the soreness goes away, I would like to eat more normal foods again…I just don’t know how I’m going to chew.
You can’t bite down all the way because you have those blue bite blockers, I’m assuming this is for an overbite. As your jaw changes, it will be easier to chew food. Until then soft foods
