i totally agree, ive had my braces on for 1 1/2 years, and with my ortho, you are tequnically not suppose to chew any gum at all, but i do, cause i went a few months without it, and couldn't go any longer..

i chewed gum w/ braces all the time and nothing happened......i don't think the sugarfree gum does anything, it's the really sticky stuff like taffy, certain types of caramel, etc that might pull/break something.. orthodontists just say that to be careful..Health Question & Answer
