You have probably been told that you cannot eat popcorn with braces. It’s true, regular popcorn kernels are hard and can damage the braces or even get stuck under the gums and cause an infection.
However, hulless popcorn is made from a smaller kernel which is more tender and safer for braces and teeth. In addition, popcorn is a good source of antioxidants which prevent damage to cells in your body.
You don’t need to give up popcorn with braces, just make sure to eat hulless popcorn!
