The gums have a key role, contributing to set the teeth to the bone. One of the main problems that may occur are infections caused by bacteria in the mouth and plaque build up. The sum of factors may end up causing inflammation of the gums, with greater risk of injury and bleeding.
For carriers of orthodontics, there are a number of forbidden foods, such as those that require effort in chewing.

• Food drives that can erode the weak gums: crust of bread, dried fruit, etc. The bread we replace it with softer options such as pan and grind nuts and add to dishes.
• The drinks and acidic foods can be painful if the gums are wounded. At the most complicated, avoid vinegar or fruit juice and acidic.
• Like acid, hot food can also damage the lining of the mouth. In weak situations must be taken into account.

Before the intervention of the maxilla, the most common is that the patient feels pain and discomfort that make it difficult to feed the same way as before the operation. However, this is a temporary situation until the scar will be closing.
We begin with a liquid diet. To take foods can help with a straw and thus avoid further food contact with wounds and scars. Food and drinks will be:
