Some people say that gum helps move your teeth faster when you have braces. But I have also heard that it stalls the movement. So Is the dentist just telling you not to chew gum because it will stick?
You do not chew gum while wearing braces because it will stick in the wirework. Listen to the orthodontist, not "people". I am just adding on to this answer: I have braces and i chew freedent. In my opinion freedent does not taste very good ( and looses its flavor in less than a minute ). But, I have also chewed many different types of gum with braces and it is usually fine if u chew it in the back of your mouth.
Is there any gum other than freedent that does not stick to dentures?
Wrigley's Freedent

What gum can you eat with braces?
Really chewing gum wont do any major harm to your braces, it will bend a wire or loosen a bracket or band if you aren't careful. The real reason why you should chew gum is because it "sets" your teeth into position. Meaning your basically stopping what the braces are trying do do, braces move your teeth but chewing gum stops them. Counter productive, but not really hazardous...
