Food List for Braces

From what I have heard, and read, dental braces can come with a lot of pain and discomfort. But even more annoying than the constant pain is the fact that you will NOT be able to eat some of your favorite food. However, a few simple changes in your diet can solve this problem and ensure that you consume a wholesome and enjoyable meal.
I am an ovo-lacto-pescetarian, which means I do not eat meat, but do eat fish, egg and milk. This is an advantage for me, and all other vegetarians with braces, because eating meat with wires in your mouth is nearly impossible.
What braces do is slowly and steadily push teeth into the right position. This means there is a lot of strain on the gums causing them to swell and hurt. Every time we try to bite into something hard, a lot of pressure is exerted on these already weak gums, sending surges of pain through every nerve ending of your mouth. Moreover, sticky or hard food can also get tangled in the wires and pull them out. Therefore, the best thing to do is to simply avoid hard food.
So, as I am planning to get my braces in exactly one week, here is my Shopping List.
