Have you considered trying cauliflower crust pizza? It's softer and less likely to cause those late-night flossing marathons. I've heard from friends who've had similar issues that it satisfies the pizza craving without the anxiety. Also, curious—are you using clear aligners or something similar? I've read mixed things about dietary restrictions with those, so I'm always interested in hearing firsthand experiences.
Cauliflower crust pizza is actually a great suggestion—I was skeptical at first, but honestly it hits the spot without causing that dreaded flossing panic later. I'm currently using clear aligners, and dietary restrictions aren't too bad...just gotta be mindful about cleaning after meals. Hang in there, it's totally manageable.

True, aligners are pretty forgiving diet-wise, but cauliflower crust isn't always the easiest on teeth either—sometimes those crunchy bits get stuck too. Thin-crust pizza might actually be a safer bet...less crumbly mess.

True, thin crust is usually easier to manage. Just be careful—sometimes the crispy edges can still cause issues, especially if your teeth feel sensitive from aligners. I've seen patients chip edges biting into overly crisp slices. Maybe cut it into smaller pieces first...sounds overly cautious, I know, but better safe than sorry.
Thin crust does seem easier overall, but honestly, I've found that toppings matter just as much. I once bit into a thin-crust slice loaded with crispy bacon bits and nearly had a mini heart attack thinking I'd chipped something—it was just bacon, thankfully. Now I always check the toppings first and go easy with the initial bite. Sounds paranoid maybe, but aligners make you extra cautious about these things...
