Hi to my Palate Expander Friends,
One of the questions that was asked of me recently was whether or not you might have to get a palate expander when you have braces. The question is YES. Here is a picture I found of what it looks like to have braces and a palate expander at the same time. I only had my palate expander on without the braces. I don't have all of my big teeth yet so I can't have braces yet, but I was thinking about how much it hurts when you have a palate expander and it must really hurt when y ou have both so I thought about it about the food and this is what you might want to eat when you have both especially.
Soup - like chicken noodles - soft...no chunks of chicken
Scrambled eggs (those got me through the really hungry times!)
Yogurt (though I don't like it but my mom said to write it!)
mashed potatoes
drink milkshakes - yeh!
Jello
rasberries (I love them! You can kind of suck them down and suck on them and they don't make you choke!)
Don't eat anything that you are going to have to chew! Oh, I forgot, my favorite - PUDDING!
My mom says I have to put something he althy on the list so how about V-8 juice because thats vegetables and I love vegetables especially cucumbers but V-8 I find kind of gross but I guess you should have something healthy too.
What do YOU eat with your palate expander or braces????
