Can You Chew Gum With Braces? How It Can Help Your Teeth

Wondering if you can chew gum with braces? For years, the answer was no, but orthodontists now say sugar-free gum may be braces-friendly. Brands like Orbit, Pur, and Trident use Xylitol, which helps prevent bacteria growth. However, chewing gum with Invisalign requires removing your aligners first. If gum sticks to your braces, gently brush it off or use olive oil to loosen it. Choose sugar-free gum and consult Weaver Orthodontics in Swampscott, MA for the best options for your treatment.
