Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
M-D's is generally like any other food that comes in contact with your teeth.
However, I'm sure that M-D's food has a bunch of preservatives etc. + more gross stuff in the composition of the food, so it's not exactly good for anything at all (I strongly suggest that you watch the movie "Super Size Me").
If the food did somehow have an impact on braces, it would have to have some high concentration of a corrosive substance... Eeew..!
So, you may eat M-D's with braces. Just keep in mind (as you probably already know) that coke, candy, etc. -as provided on the menu- does affect braces.

Mickey D's (another nickname for McDonald's) Isn't really good food for anyone. But it isn't really particularly worse if you have braces. Just keep your teeth clean, especially if you've had any soda pop... Follow what the orthodontist said and you should be fine.

I don't think that this is true about McDonalds. The foods you have to stay away from are sticky foods, popcorn, and foods that are hard to chew. As long as you stay away from foods that are like that, you should be fine, no matter where they are coming from. Also remember to eat less sweets, although you don't have to cut them completely out. This might have been why your friends were talking about McDonalds, but it doesn't matter. Just make sure you brush your teeth well and the sugar in foods shouldn't affect you much.
Good luck!
