I love trail mix and things like that but, I have braces now any low calorie suggestions would be great!

    Besides chewy things, is there some sort of food restriction you were put on that kills trail mix?

    Like nuts, and really any hard stuff

    How about raisins, currants, apples, small seeds like pumpkin and sunflower

    I had braces 5 years ago. Other than sticky things, I ate pretty much all the same food including lots of nuts, apples and other things I warned to avoid. Never had any problem. I don't doubt that braces can break from eating hard food, but I don't think they need to be completely eliminated. For some things like apples, you can cut them into slices instead of taking a bite out of the whole thing to minimize the "hardness" problem.

    Okay, I've been experimenting a little with what I eat. Thanks
