Teeth-friendly Fruits & Vegetables No. 3: Kiwi

If you dream of a beautiful smile, braces or Invisalign may be your answer. An orthodontist can evaluate your teeth and help you decide on the appropriate treatment to beautify your smile, meet your budget, and increase the functionality of your teeth. However, when you have these types of appliances on your teeth, you must be careful about the foods you choose to eat. It is important to follow all directions for the best results.

Kiwi

Kiwifruit, often simply just called kiwi, is a soft fruit that is grown in temperate climates with hot summers, such as China and New Zealand. Kiwi is a good fruit to eat when you have braces because it is soft and will damage neither the brackets nor the wires that make up the appliance. In addition, kiwi is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber. The seeds in the middle of the fruit are edible and contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Traditional braces and Invisalign treatments are two of the preferred methods for treating many orthodontic conditions, such as overbite and crowded teeth. The sooner you get started with treatments, the quicker you will have the smile you deserve. Whether you have been referred to an orthodontist by another health care professional.
