Planning a Superbowl party but worried that traditional snacks like chips and dip wouldn’t be braces-friendly? No problem! Here are five tasty ideas for delicious treats your guests (and their teeth) will love.
We’ve picked some of the top Superbowl treats searched for on the internet in North Carolina that are braces-friendly too! If you have your recipes, great! If not, click on the recipe name or picture for a link to a five-star recipe.
Seven-Layered Dip
You can enjoy your seven-layered dip with Pringles, cheese puffs, veggie chips, kale chips, soft pretzels, or sweet potato fries. Avoid hard, fried foods such as corn chips, tortilla chips, Cheetos, kettle chips, and hard pretzels. Crunchy foods can get stuck between your braces wires and bend them. If you crunch down hard, pressure on your braces’ wires may cause your brackets to break off your teeth.
Chicken Buffalo Dip
Pigs in a Blanket
Classic Chili
Are you planning a big party? You can have a chili cook-off contest and see who cooks the best chili! Bake up some fresh cornbread, and you’re good to go, or make your own Carolina Hot Dog or Carolina Hamburger.
Boneless Buffalo Chicken Wings
These chicken wings are much safer to eat than wings with bones. You can eat wings with bones if you pull the meat off with your fingers and then eat the meat. But avoid biting the meat off the bone because you could bite too hard on a bone and damage your braces.
Enjoy the Game!
Whatever braces-friendly recipes you make, have fun. Just make sure at half-time or after the game to clean your teeth and braces to keep them in good shape. If you have any questions about what you can eat with braces, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
