Question: Can someone with braces chew any type of gum?
Answers:
Chew sugar free gum always. The reason it's good to chew it is Bc it's stimulates saliva flow... Saliva helps flush out the bacteria that causes tooth decay. Never chew gum w sugar... It is the easist way to get a cavity. And honestly there's not really a reason to chew gun w sugar Bc today there are so many good flavors of sugar free gum.
I'm a dental hygenist
YES! My ortho actually gave me gum when I got my braces on. Only sugar free gum is ok, though.
Chewing gum helps to stimulate blood flow to your gums which helps to reduce the pain you might feel from your braces. Sugar gum can decay your glue of your brackets. If you realized it gum can easily get stuck if you hide it in ur lips.
