Wax has saved my life! On each point in the back of my mouth where the last bracket is it has caused scratching/sores but as soon as I applied wax it instantly cured the scratching.
Another important thing to remember is what you eat. Making sure to eat something that doesn't cause you to chew too much is key. I included a wonderful recipe that is delicious .
Let me know what you think of the recipe and I will try to post as many "Brace Friendly" recipes as I can!
Happy Eating with Braces!!
Best Baked Spaghetti
[printer friendly]
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped or 1 Tablespoon dried onion
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 3 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
- ½ cup Burgundy or merlot wine (Burgundy gives a deeper flavor)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup grated American cheese, about 4 slices, or ½ cup grated mild cheddar cheese
- ½ lb. dry spaghetti, broken in half
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large no-stick frying pan or Dutch over, sauté meat, onion and garlic. Add tomato sauce, wine, oregano, sugar and salt. Simmer, cover, 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (It really makes a difference if you can take this amount of time! Otherwise 20 minutes will serve to heat everything.) Cook spaghetti and drain. Put half the spaghetti in a greased 3-quart casserole, and then add half the sauce and ¼ cup of the grated cheese. Add the remaining spaghetti and sauce, and stir everything with a large spoon. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Best if baked for 45 minutes at 350°. Makes about six to eight servings.
