A Realistic Snack List for Aligner Wearers
Mia CalderMar 08, 20265 min read
Aligners turn snacking into a quiet test of willpower. A short list of brace friendly snacks makes the 22 hour wear rule realistic.
The shortlist
Berries, soft cheese, yoghurt without granola, banana, scrambled eggs, soft cooked pasta with butter and parmesan.
Honest reviews take time to write and longer to verify. If a recommendation here saves you money or hassle, share the post with someone else in trays or brackets.
Frequently asked
Stick to soft foods like scrambled eggs, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, smoothies and pasta. Cold foods help with soreness.
