Avoid Chewing Gum:
It's generally advised not to chew gum while spacers are in place, as it can dislodge or damage them.
Spacers Are Temporary and Delicate:
These small rubber bands or metal devices are placed between teeth to create space for braces and can be easily moved out of position by sticky foods like gum.
Risk of Dislodgement:
Gum can get stuck to the spacers and pull them out, which may delay your orthodontic treatment.
Increased Discomfort:
Chewing gum while spacers are causing pressure may increase pain or sensitivity.
Oral Hygiene Is Crucial:
Spacers can trap food particles; chewing gum may add to the difficulty of keeping your mouth clean.
Follow Dentist Instructions:
Always follow your orthodontist’s guidance on food restrictions to avoid complications with your treatment.
Conclusion:
To avoid dislodging or damaging your spacers, it’s best to avoid chewing gum during this stage of treatment. For expert orthodontic care and guidance, visit FMS Dental Hospital, KPHB, where your smile is in safe hands.
