The reason why you are not allowed chewing/bubble gum is mainly because of it sticking to your brackets (the bit attached to your tooth), not because of the sugar content. However, the sugarfree gum tends to be less sticky and so you would have less chance of it getting caught in your brackets. But I really don't recommend Chewing Gum of any kind whilst wearing braces..been there, done that!
Hope this helps (:
