I had braces for 2 1/2 years and I chewed gum anyway. It never got stuck or anything.

The reason they tell you not to chew gum while you have braces isn't because it'll get stuck but actually because it's acidic and often causes the brackets to fall off.

Am I the ONLY person who's orthodontist said I could chew gum with braces?

No. My orthodontist said I could chew sugarless gum.

You can chew regular sugar free gum like Trident & Extra & whatnot, they just don't want you chewing the stuff that has all the sugar in it like Hubba Bubba & stuff like that because that stuff WILL get stuck
