I always chewed the gum that said won't stick to dental work.. because everything else stuck to my braces and made it really hard to chew.. (technically if you ask your dentist you're not supposed to be chewing gum at all with braces, but I Like you chewed alot of gum and wasnt about to give it up because he said I had to) be careful about what you eat. anything sticky (like laughy taffy)or hard (like jolly ranchers ) could break your brackets and bands. (yes I had broken something or another everytime I went to the dentist..) you're at no more of a risk for cavities with braces as you are w/o them..

From personal experince, I chewed gum with braces both surgar free and regular and I never had any problems. Get stick gum, not the hard candy coated peices.

I never chewed gum with my braces for two years but i saw tonnes of idiots who got it stuck. Heres the answer from a dentist in traning dont chew the gum.
