Space City Orthodontics - Spring

The cost of braces depends on which type of braces you choose, how long you will need treatment, and any other factors that might be unique to your treatment plan. Our treatment coordinators offer payment plans that can work with your budget and get you the orthodontic care that you need.

It is very important to avoid foods that could result in broken brackets, loose wires, or broken appliances. Examples of foods that you should avoid: Chewy foods such as bagels, fruit leathers, or beefy jerky Sticky foods like caramel candy, licorice, and marshmallows Crunchy foods like chips, raw carrots, raw celery, and popcorn Hard foods such as hard candy, hard breadsticks, or pizza crust Foods that require biting into such as corn on the cob and apples. You can still enjoy these foods by slicing the apples or removing the corn from the cob. A common question we hear is: “How long after getting braces can I eat normal foods?” We tell patients that it’s best to avoid foods that can damage braces throughout the treatment period. If you can’t say no to the craving, eat with extreme caution.
