Lifestyle & Diet Tips While Wearing Braces or Aligners in London

Life stays vibrant during treatment. At Aura Dental, we share practical, city‑friendly tips so you can enjoy food, fitness and festivities while caring for your smile. Here’s how to keep everything effortless with orthodontics London.

Eating well with braces

In the first week, choose softer foods while your mouth adapts — soups, pastas, omelettes and yoghurt are comforting. After that, feel free to enjoy your usual meals with smart tweaks: cut apples into slices, avoid very hard sweets and be mindful with crusty bread. For office lunches, salads, wraps and cooked grains are easy wins.

Dining with aligners 

Remove aligners for meals and store them in a case. Brush before reinserting or, if you’re out, rinse with water and brush when you return. Keep a compact kit in your bag for effortless care on the move.

Drinks and sparkle

Water is always aligner‑friendly. If you enjoy coffee or sparkling drinks, sip with meals and rinse afterwards. A reusable bottle helps you stay hydrated between meetings and gym sessions.

Fitness and routines 

Treatment rarely affects workouts. Aligners stay in for runs, classes and strength sessions. For contact sports, ask us about custom mouthguards that work with braces. Gentle stretching and good hydration keep everything comfortable after adjustments.

Social life and confidence

Ceramic braces are subtle in photos; aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed briefly for a toast or speech. Keep your case close so trays stay safe during celebrations.

Speedy freshen‑ups 

Carry sugar‑free mints, a travel brush and interdental picks. A quick bathroom stop between meetings keeps your smile feeling bright and clean.

Smart snacks

Nuts, cheese, fruit slices and hummus with veg are brace‑friendly and energising. For aligners, enjoy snacks at defined times, then brush and pop trays back in to maintain momentum.

City living schedules 

We offer focused appointments and, where suitable, remote reviews. Tell us about travel or busy seasons and we’ll plan aligner sets or review dates accordingly.

With small, sustainable habits, your lifestyle hardly misses a beat. We’ll personalise guidance to your routine so the journey is enjoyable from day one.

If you’re ready to begin, we’ll build a plan that fits right in. With practical support, orthodontics London complements your life beautifully — from breakfast meetings to evening classes.

From first fitting to the final reveal, our goal is to keep orthodontics London fresh, flexible and full of confidence.
