Writer's picture: Amy Carpenter MBA RDHAmy Carpenter MBA RDH

Braces. Invisalign. They’re like the superheroes of the dental world, turning your smile from “meh” to “wow” over time. But here’s the catch—while they’re busy working their magic on your teeth, you might feel a little bit like you’re missing out on life’s simple pleasures. Take chewing gum, for example. It’s a classic, right? That sweet, satisfying moment when you pop a piece in your mouth, chew for a bit, and feel the stress of the day melt away.

But if you’ve got braces or Invisalign, chewing gum can sometimes feel like a daredevil stunt—will it stick to your brackets? Will it get stuck in your aligners? Will you spend the next 30 minutes in a wrestling match with your mouth, trying to get everything unstuck?

Good news: you can chew gum with braces and Invisalign—and we’ll tell you how to do it like a pro. Plus, we’ve got the inside scoop on Active by OrthoGum, a gum that’s made for braces and Invisalign wearers just like you!


1. Yes, You Can Chew Gum with Braces—Just Not Any Gum!

If you’re a braces wearer, your orthodontist might’ve given you a laundry list of foods to avoid—caramel, chewy candies, popcorn… the usual suspects. So, understandably, you might think gum should be on that list, too. But here’s the thing: you can chew gum with braces, and clear aligners as long as it’s the right kind!

The trick is to avoid regular chewing gum, which can easily get stuck in your brackets or aligners like a party guest who refuses to leave. That’s why Active by OrthoGum is your best bet—it’s designed specifically for people who have braces or Invisalign.


2. Active by OrthoGum: The Gum That Won’t Mess With Your Braces

When it comes to braces, Active by OrthoGum is the real MVP. Here’s why:

  • Non-Sticky Formula: Unlike traditional gum, Active by OrthoGum won’t get stuck in your brackets or Invisalign aligners. That’s right—no sticky mess, Just pure, clean chewing fun.

  • Comfortable Fit: Active by OrthoGum is designed to be gentle on your teeth, gums, and any orthodontic appliance you’re wearing.

  • Fresh Breath All Day: Whether you’ve just finished lunch or need a quick refresher between classes, chewing Active by OrthoGum gives you long-lasting minty freshness. Plus, it stimulates saliva flow, helping to wash away food particles and keep your mouth feeling fresh.

  • Stress-Relief in a Chew: Let’s face it, braces and Invisalign can sometimes make you feel like you’re in an endless battle with your mouth. Active by OrthoGum lets you enjoy that classic gum-chewing satisfaction, without the stress of worrying about your dental work. It’s the ultimate stress-reliever for anyone with orthodontic appliances!


3. Invisalign Wearers, You’re Not Left Out!

Invisalign users, you’re not exempt from the gum struggle either! While you can remove your aligners to eat, chewing gum can sometimes be a sticky situation (pun intended). You might worry that gum could damage your aligners or make them sticky, which is exactly why Active by OrthoGum is a game-changer.

You can chew Active by OrthoGum with your aligners in place. It won’t leave a mess behind, and it won’t get stuck in your trays.


4. Chewing Gum with Braces or Invisalign is Actually Good for You

That’s right, chewing gum isn’t just fun—it has benefits, too! Here are some reasons why it’s not all bad news when you add gum to your orthodontic routine:

  • Saliva Boost: Chewing gum stimulates saliva, which is like nature’s mouthwash. It helps wash away food particles, neutralize acids that can cause cavities, and even fight bad breath. So, while your braces are working their magic on your teeth, gum is working to keep your mouth clean.

  • Improved Focus and Stress Relief: Got a big test coming up? A presentation at work? Chewing gum can help improve focus and reduce anxiety. It’s scientifically proven to increase alertness, reduce stress, and even help with concentration. Who knew your gum habit could be so beneficial?

  • A Little Comfort for Your Gums: If you’ve ever had braces tightened, you know that the first few days can be uncomfortable. Chewing gum helps relieve some of that pressure by stimulating blood flow to your gums. It’s like a mini massage for your mouth.


5. But Wait—Can I Actually Blow Bubbles With Active by OrthoGum?

Okay, so let’s be honest here—blowing bubbles with braces isn’t the easiest thing in the world. Those brackets and wires can definitely get in the way of your bubble-blowing dreams. But with Active by OrthoGum, you can still have fun with your gum without worrying about it sticking to your braces or Invisalign.

Sure, you might not be blowing the world’s biggest bubble, but you can definitely enjoy that satisfying chew without the drama. And that, my friends, is worth celebrating.
