(Yes, I was a bad girl and chewed it from time to time.) Since many have written to me claiming stalls from excessive sugar-free gum-chewing, you will need to exercise caution. In short?

The sugar in the gum can get trapped behind the braces and cause cavities. Still, you might want to talk to your orthodontist if your child really wants gum. In some cases, it may be possible for your child to chew a sugar free, non stick gum such as Freedent or Wrigley's Extra. A study in the American Journal Of Orthodontics 107(1995)497 indicates that the xylitol in the Freedent or Wrigley's Extra prevents cavities, and the gum does not stick to some styles of braces.

One piece of gum came in each unopened United States Garbage Pail Kids wax pack from the original 15 series produced in the 1980s, and it was the same type of gum as the Bazooka bubble gum, which Topps also produces. I recommend not trying the gum that came in the original series 1-15 packs because it is so old that it is probably unsafe to chew. Most likely, the old gum would be extremely stale and hard, but it is also possible that bacteria, mold, and/or mildew were growing on the gum. See similar questions...
