Can i chew gum and eat other chewy foods with braces?!?!


Question: Can i chew gum and eat other chewy foods with braces?!?
I got bottom braces today. Im getting top in 8 weeks. Anyway, my dentist gave me the list of no no foods. Im sorry but i LOVE gum and sour patches and gummy bears. SO i looked online and eveyrone says you can chew SUGAR free gum. So im scared to take the risk! help?!

My friends say they ate anything they wanted and they are ok to this day. their teeth are perfect.
so can i eat sour patches, etc..... ii know it says not to but still!
And ca i chew gum!?

thanks!

Answers:

I wouldnt try it, because if it breaks ur braces it jut postpones ur off date. I've ate sour path kids before I think tho, so I think u could eat those just being careful, and sucking on them mostly. Trust me, not being able to eat gum sucks so bad, I've had braces for around 3 years getting them off sometime this year. I used to chew like over a pack a week, wo braces were like the huger change ever.
