Kashrus of Braces, Retainers, Dentures and Teeth

My friend brother, Mary Simkuschromer, sent me a text last week where he said that

what it is to lead him in the eye to crown by a fellow by the name of Ziegis Welling

asked him the following, Shiley wanted to know whether he's a lot of eat-vote

millifigs and flashings with the same braces on and with the same retainer

and whether one has to be careful about this is there need to caution in

between in some way or another. So sometimes you have a Shiley where you know

what the answer is going to be. You just have to figure out how we get to that

answer and this is a Shiley comes up certainly for a claspasach as well. My

brother told me years ago he attended a question answer session prepasach with

Rabbi Heinemann in Baltimore and someone raised their hand and asked how do I

caution my braces for Pesach and Rabbi Heinemann without even cracking a smile

said you preheat your oven to 450 degrees and you stick your head inside for an

hour but the question is why isn't there some sort of or is there some sort

of cautionarying that's required and the question could be broadens. Forget

about braces and forget about retainers. What about teeth itself? What about our

mouths? We know we don't have to caution our mouths within you know we're that

we're glad to eat flashings and millifigs within 24 hours of each other.

Gmarl Kulin tells us that it was an unusual chumra that one of the Amarayim had

that he waited 24 hours after eating flashings before eating millifigs but

we're kechalabar chumra l'gabe avua. We're not we're not on such a

madrego. We don't we don't do that but doesn't it. Trayf up our mouths. So

lest you think that such a discussion is a silly discussion to have all of the

Godoleh Aposkin have had this discussion. Certainly in the last and the last

century about dentures, about braces, about these kinds of things. Of Shomzal

Manorbach when he was very young, when he was still a bachler, wrote up a very

long shilat of the Chaznish but Shailas Chachum is Chati Chuba. In this case it was

a Chuvishleima. He wrote an entire Chuba to the Chaznish to which the Chaznish

never responded and in the Safer Shalmei Moeid it says that Chaznish of

Grineman said that Chaznish had told people around him that the Chuba was

already there. Shomzalman wrote it up so beautifully that there was nothing to

respond to and it was later published in the second volume of Min Khashlomo on

this topic. Our very own Rabbi Haitan Shnal wrote about this topic in Pesach to

go in New York, Tafshin, I in Zion. So this is a serious topic that required a

serious treatment. So first of all, let's describe what the problem is. What's the

issue? So the primary issue is that there is a principle in Halacha called Tom

Kikr, the many of you you're all probably familiar with at this point of the

year, that tells us that we have to be concerned about Blios in K-Lim. So the

same should apply to teeth and dentures and braces and retainers. The

Guamaran of a Desard d'Avai invov tells us that apart with the trayful Blios

that are already pago may have to 24 hours still need to be cashered,

meet the Rabanan because of Gisera, Eilabanyama, it's Abanyama. And even if you're

alive on Watosa strides in the sex of a Desard that Peshash had khak in

extremely pressing circumstances, you could rely on Tom Pagum. Without first

cashering, that would only allow after 24 hours when it actually becomes a

Tom Pagum. But within 24 hours, what's our what's our Haitan? No

Sintam Luf Gham is particularly problematic when it comes to Pesach because

the Ramaz, Makhni, for the sheet of Sharash Bab, that's part of the Bayanar

written book to not rely no Sintam Luf Gham for Pesach. That Ramaz, Sintam

M. Zainz, if you would, says that we ask for Blios even after 24 hours when it

comes to Pesach. So let's first discuss the Heter of Teeth and then the Heter of

everything else because Teeth is obviously going to be the easier Heter because

that has to be mutter. The Sampsofra is a chuvan, Sintam Luf Gham, where he was

asked about the casheres of an unusual case, a chicken, a live chicken, had

fallen into a large vat of hot butter and then was quickly removed from the vat of

butter. So it's really a double chayla. The butter now has Tom of Avery Minachai in it

and the chicken has Tom of butter. So if they shut the chicken, that's a

military chicken. So the Sampsofra says that that which the body absorbs while

alive is never also, that there's no real Blios while they're still alive to

something. For example, with your finger you can touch hot food, hot

flourishing food, and then within 24 hours touch hot military food and your

finger didn't become trache. We don't assume that there are Blios that pass

through a live body and look over the same would apply to Teeth. There's a chuvan

that basically it's got many questions, maybe Teeth. The makeup of Teeth is

different and it's less a critical part of the body as other parts of the

body but nevertheless that seems to be, that seems to be the assumption, either

that or we assume that Teeth just don't absorb anything. Good, so that's as

far as Teeth are concerned. What about braces and retainers and dentures and

things of that nature? So there are six different heteron that are

quoted by the by the postgen. Heter number one that they quote is Chuvus-Marsham,

Helik Alves and Kufzad Design. He says that our food is never yet so let us

vote. At the time you put it in your mouth. It's not had enough to transfer any

Blios. Transfer any time, especially since it's only in the mouth for a very

short period of time. And that is the sheet of the chazanish as well as

quoted in Orchus Rebenu, Bez, Chavzayan, and Ravmocha in Orchheim, Helik Alves,

Sim and He. The question is whether Bimsyus, that's true, is all the food that we

put in our mouth, not Yad Salehdes. Ravashnal, found in the Journal of Food

Science, reports that surveyed consumers prefer drinking temperatures of

hot beverages at a mean value of 140 degrees, including some of those temperatures

in the 170 to 190 range. That's above Yad Salehdes. So it's hard to say that

everything you put in your mouth is not Yad Salehdes. So let's move on to

Kulin number two. Kulin number two, the Dake Chuvus in Paytas, quotes from

Shayla Shalom in Kufzad Dehey, that false teeth that dentures, whenever dentures

are made of, they're made up of a material that doesn't absorb anything.

Similar to the sheet of where we show them when it comes to glass, it just doesn't

absorb any blios. That won't work for braces, which are made out of metal and

retainers, which are made out of plastic, or something like that, and some sort of

plastic metal combination. So that hatter's not going to work for everything. It might work for

dentures. So we have a third hatter. Third hatter is Klee Shleishi. By the time you

put the food in your mouth, it's already not in a Klee Rishon, and most often not even in a

Klee Shanie anymore, the mouth is already, the braces are already a Klee Shleishi, and

therefore it doesn't have the koach to be Bollaya, or to be Pollate. However, if you hold

like the Khumr of the Marshal in Yamsha Shalom on Kulin Park, Zionism and Dalits, quote

about the Taz, that the Dover Gush, something that's a salad food, is always going to be

considered a Klee Rishon, then this won't work as well. The Ramans, Symitaphim, Zionism

Gimmel also says, for Pesach, we're Machmir and a Klee Shanie, that we don't rely on

the fact that a Klee Shanie is not Bollaya, not Pollate. So that brings us to Kulin number

four, and this is the main cooler of Shalma Zalman use, and it's according to all of the

Shalma Zalman's foreign, in his actual savor, in the Milkhashlama, and in the Halikhashlama

and in the Shalmima, you know, all the different foreign are from Shalma Zalman, they all

call it the same thing. There are Shalma Zalman rights, and it's in Nishmasa Vraim. He

quotes it also in Simeon Paid Taz, those plays from Shalma Zalman, that food in a person's

mouth is immediately pogum. He says, normally it takes 24 hours for something to become pogum,

but in a person's mouth with the interaction with the saliva, and the chemical reactions

that are happening, it's immediately pogum, and it's based on a chasam safer in Kul'in Klufei,

and a chasam safer in his aras to Shalchunarach, Yaredaya Simeon Paid Taz, that is the saliva,

and everything else makes it pogum, and Shalma Zalman held that it's so pogum, so quickly that

you could forget even about a double charrif. You don't have to think about a double charrif

or anything like that, either. It's just automatically pogum. The fifth possible Kul'in Klufei,

Khosar Mahmoud Adanil, that tastes only transfers if there's some amount of time that the contact

is actually maintained, and it has to be in contact for some period of time, that it can't happen

just like in an instant, Yaredaya Simeon Paid Taz, in Klufei Memgiml, and the Chuvas Mahasham,

that we mentioned before, seemed to hold this way, and most of the food you put in your mouth

is below Yatsaladas, what do we say you put in that's above Yatsaladas? Very hot drinks, very hot

drinks, they're just passing through, they're not sitting in your mouth for a very long time,

and then Aramishnak wrote another sad, a six-sad Lahakel, when determining the method of cashering,

the Shalchunarach says you're supposed to follow Rov Tashmisham, so even though the Raman,

the Mishabura say that we're knowing to be Makhmir, that if it once was sleaze, so then you need

to be Makhmiring, you can't do Agala, but the Iqaradin is that you're certainly relying

on Bishas of Khak, is to follow Rov Tashmisham, and if the Rov Tashmisham of your braces is for food,

that is not Yatsaladas, so you thought to be making on that, I'm not sure that that works though,

because it's determining which method of cashering is one thing, but to say that you don't need

to casher at all, because Rov Tashmisham was not that way, I don't know if that works,

how do we pass the Mahalacha, so a number of different shitos, the Daki Chuvarites, seems to conclude

in Paytests of Karniala, that a person should get three sets of dentures, one for Milchig,

one for Pesach, and if he wants to have Milchig on Pesach, four sets of dentures, I guess,

they say it's reported, Sits Aliyezm, Tess Makhfei says the River Oshab had four sets of dentures,

and then the Lobavichers deny it, they say it's not true, that in Otserman Hagehabad,

they say that it's not true that he didn't have such a Khumbra. In Malamid Lahawal,

he writes, he only have to clean it out well enough, and that's good enough for Pesach,

and the Maharshaam says that he need Iroy Rohtchen for Pesach, certainly for whatever can come

out of your mouth, that's what Oshoma Zaman recommends as well, it says really the Khakhil, the best

not to eat hot Khamaids for 24 hours before Pesach, even though Oshoma Zaman thinks to make her

ID in its own motor, and if it's something that can be removed from your mouth, so Iroy Rohtchen

to take boiling water and pour it over is recommended, but whatever is in your mouth,

then you rely on the Iroy Dinn that everything was pogum to begin with, they wish to have a wonderful day.
