I'm a dentist.
Plaque reduction is a possibility, as the chewing gum itself does rub against your teeth, but that's not the main benefit of chewing gum after eating.
The main benefit has to do with increased saliva production, which helps to protect teeth from decay.
Yes, chewing gum helps rid the food that is still stuck in between your teeth after you have had a meal, not to mention that it also gives you fresh smelling breath.
its possible, but your best bet for reducing plaque is brushing your teeth.
