When I had braces, hamburger buns from Wendy's were about the most painful thing to eat (especially after tightening sessions). I knocked at least 5 or 6 brackets off, mostly on hard/chewy foods.
Things to avoid: car hoods. I wrecked my bicycle into a parked car when I had braces, and realized once I got home and tried talking to my mom (I was looking in the mirror at the time) that my lip had actually been pierced on the inside and was hooked securely to the small nub that they use for attaching the rubber bands. Not fun at all. Kinda funny, though...until I started laughing really hard. THAT hurt.
