Braces, easy ten points!?!
Question: Braces, easy ten points!!?
Ok, so yesterday I was at the grocery store, and this lady that was at the check out was really chatty and was talking about how she liked our braces!. She said that her cousin had them and that she chewed gum alot, and the gum wore away at the glue on her braces!. She said that he cousin had to get her braces taken off and putten back on!. She also said that when her cousin got them off the last time, they bleached her teeth to help get the glue off!. (We had lots of groceries ;) ) So my questions were, should I really stop chewing gum, will it really wear the glue off (my orthodontist said it was ok to chew sugar free)!? And also, do they really bleach your teeth when you get them off!? I have only had mine for like 8 months!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh goodness! I have had experience with braces:) Its not so bad!. You can chew sugar free, just don't chew it when you go to the orthodontists office, haha! Chewing gum from time to time is fine, and they will bleach your teeth if the glue was hard to get off or if you as the one with braces on wanted your teeth to look white!. Its all up to the customer! lolWww@Answer-Health@Com
Sugar builds up in hard to reach places and eats away at the viscosity of the glue as well as your tooth enamel, this causes yellowing and cavities, which is exaggerated because when you brush with braces on you dont reach all the places you should regularly!. This is why they recommend sugar free gum and also why they bleach your teeth after, to remove build up of staining and glue!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
i've had my braces on for 2 years and i chew gum all the time!.
and its not sugar free either!.
the ortho never said anything about me chewing gum,
and i get them off in 2 weeks!.
so i'd say you can keep chewing gum, i chew like a pack a day!. lol
and nothing ever happend to my braces!.

I would try to just chew it occasionally!. I've never heard of it wearing the glue away, maybe only if you chew it a whole lot!. You can get them bleached if you want to, but they don't do it when they come off!. That' a whole different progress!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i just got braces 1 month ago and my orthodontist said that gum will break a brace!. i believe that if you chew gum a lot it will break a brace!
