Question: What kind of mint gum isn't sticky?
So yeah, what are some good quality gums that won't stick to the aligners when I chew it? Cause like I said, either way I'm still going to use gum. Breath mints just don't cut it. :D

OK, so what my orthodontist says is that I can only have gums that are approved by the ADA. There is a little black & white ADA seal on the bottom right or left corner of the gum package if they are approved. That way you know that they are good for your teeth and they are OK to have with braces. My preferred brands are Orbit and Eclipse because they do not stick. Hope I helped!
Freedent gum works very well. They offer a few flavours (mainly mint) and definitely won't stick. It's the only kind my dentist/orthodontist would let me use. Other sugarfree gum usually isn't that bad, just try and avoid bubblegum like stuff, like HubbaBubba or anything like that. A peice of gum isn't worth the extra cost, time or effort to replace a broken aligner. Plus, if it takes a little while to get new peices you could have to wear it longer, so you might want to just stick with something like Freedent.
