hmm.... i think around 1 to 2 months, you can start eating solid
food. but not those hard & chewy one. I am on braces.. till
now, i stil cant eat squids & abalones.. 
But i start eating steaks after one or 2 mths, but have to cut it
into tiny pieces or it will be hard & tiring to chew it
intially when u put on, basically u wil be shallowing your food,
cos you will feel that your teeth are soft (actually they are
mobile, moving). so you cant bite the food. every mth after
tightening the braces, the 1st few days are terrible, is better/ or
only can eat soft food, but it varies on how your doctor do it for
u.
