S/O Braces and race fuel?

So any runners have braces? If you do what do you use as fuel?

I am getting braces in 2 weeks (Yup...old lady with braces on! yay!) and I use Shoot Blocks and I am not sure if I can get away with still using them? I am thinking I could but not sure about risking it...

  • Gu, or GU type things that don't require chewing. I always used to do the blocks bc I hated the gels, but once I started forcing myself to swallow them down I found they helped me way more than the chews and couldn't go back.

  • Ditto on the Gu.  I'd always end up with more blocks stuck in my teeth than in my belly.
