Answer #1

Chew sugarless gum, I had braces and did that. just don’t tell your orthodontist;]

Answer #2

lol okay thankx :)

Answer #3

it does have fat but mostly omega 3 fatty acids which are actually quite good for you but sunflower seeds are just as bad for braces as gum. trust me on that. the munchies for me are usually satisfied by like low sugar gummy worms or somethin

Answer #4

twinkle is empty calories. Dont dare compare to Sunflower seed…Those are soo food for you…just watch it on the salt. But the omega 3s and protein in those things are so good for you :)
