The importance of proper nutrition in oral health during orthodontics

Your orthodontist will tell you that foods high in sugar and sugary drinks can cause cavities. Also, eating starchy foods like french fries and rice will stick to the teeth for a long time and cause tooth decay. But there is a greater concern about acidic drinks such as soft drinks (diet and regular), sports drinks and juices which if consumed continuously or in large quantities over a period of time can cause tooth enamel to fall off.
