Summer is the perfect time to invite over some friends, uncover the pool, and fire up the grill, but if you or a loved one has braces<\/a>, you might be wondering what braces<\/a>-friendly dishes will fit with your BBQ theme. Thanks to your favorite Mahomet orthodontist<\/a>, you can whip up a delicious, fuss-free cookout using the finger-licking\u2019 dishes suggested below.<\/p>\n

Serve Up the Perfect Protein<\/strong><\/p>\n

BBQ is practically synonymous with tougher meats such as steak, hamburger, ribs, and chicken, but those options aren\u2019t always ideal for those of us currently wearing braces. Grilled fish is a fantastic alternative; heartier fish like salmon taste delicious with a dab of smoky barbecue sauce, and meats like brisket and pork shoulder that are cooked low and slow might work too as long as they\u2019re tender enough to be pulled apart with just a fork.<\/p>\n

Side Suggestions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you cross corn on the cob off of your list of possible side dishes, consider this quick fix: simply cut the kernels off the cob and enjoy! You\u2019ll have to brush a little more diligently later that night, but it\u2019ll be worth it. Classic BBQ sides like potato salad, macaroni salad, baked beans, deviled eggs, and even macaroni and cheese.<\/p>\n

Non-Traditional Dishes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who says you have to stick to the classics? Chase away the hot summer sun by serving up a silky smooth chilled gazpacho, or toss together some fresh basil pesto, spaghetti noodles, and arugula for a healthy, mayonnaise-free alternative to conventional BBQ sides.<\/p>\n

Consider Invisalign<\/a>\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you just can\u2019t imagine giving up your favorite BBQ ribs, ask your favorite Mahomet\u00a0orthodontist whether you\u2019re a good candidate for Invisalign<\/a>\u00ae. Instead of semi-permanent brackets and wires, Invisalign<\/a>\u00ae uses clear mouthpieces called aligners to straighten teeth, and rather than frequent visits to your doctor\u2019s Mahomet, IL orthodontics office<\/a> to have your braces<\/a> tightened, you\u2019ll just drop by to pick up your next custom aligner. Best of all, the Invisalign<\/a>\u00ae system is practically invisible and the aligners can be taken out when you eat, drink, or clean your teeth.<\/p>\n

Summer is the perfect time to get used to new braces<\/a> before heading back to school in the fall. To see what treatment options may be right for you, call Shafer Smiles<\/a>\u00a0at 217.356.9595<\/strong> and schedule a consultation with the top-rated orthodontist in Mahomet, IL<\/a>.<\/p>\n
