Your dentist is on crack, I had braces and ate food that night, it might hurt or be a bit hard but you can eat food, just make sure for the first few days you eat softer type foods. Just dont eat anything crunchy.

got mine on when i was 15, was terrible.. gums were all torn up and my teeth were sore as hell. After the first month you should get use to em.

soft boiled eggs...cottage cheese and liquid meals as the base of your diet won't throw your progress for 1 week or so.

If you were advised to avoid chewing by your dentist.. then follow his instruction. You paid him for it.

Supplement with fiber at the appropriate times.. Better yet.. add puree veggies or fruits to specific meals to improve the nutrient profile...and add fiber.

Good luck
