Introducing the first aligner-safe chewing gum: Active by orthogum

Clear aligners are an incredible way for you to straighten your teeth without becoming a social pariah as with traditional braces and the chunky metal smile that comes with it. However, there is a lot more that goes into maintaining your clear aligner to well, keep them clear.

When you’re done with your clear aligner treatment, your orthodontist hands over a specially curated list of instructions to help you take better care of your aligners. As you scan through that list, you may find yourself being perplexed by the dietary restrictions thats may accompany aligner treatment. One of these restrictions is regarding chewing gum.

You’re strictly prohibited to chew gum with your aligners as it can easily stick to your aligners and damage them. Experts and orthodontists recommend that whenever you’re in the mood for some refreshing gum that you simply take your aligners out.

What if we tell you that this is no longer a problem? Active™ by OrthoGum is a gum manufacturing franchise that makes therapeutic aligner-safe chewing to promote oral health during orthodontic treatment. This gum is designed to work with your clear aligners. Its ultra-tacky texture helps prevent the gums from sticking to your aligners so you can chew away throughout your treatment without making a slimy mess.

Why should you consider Active™ by OrthoGum?

Active™ by OrthoGum is not just a tasty treat by also may involve some real science. In fact, studies have shown that chewing this gum can speed up the process of tooth movement while also decreasing pain. Are you still unconvinced? Active™ by OrthoGum lists the following benefits of chewing their gum.

• Accelerated tooth movement: Active™ by OrthoGum claims that their gum is specially formulated to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. The act of chewing the gum can stimulate blood flow to the gums, which further aids in the remodelling process of the bone and helps tooth roots move faster. This can potentially reduce the overall duration of one’s orthodontic journey.
• Reduced pain and discomfort: While wearing clear aligners is much more comfortable than traditional metal braces, the gradual movements of the teeth and the two-weekly aligner upgrades can cause discomfort to the wearer and at times, also pain. Active™ by OrthoGum acts as a natural relief for pain. By repeating the motions of chewing the gum, any soreness, discomfort, and pain can be alleviated. This can in turn, elevate the patient’s orthodontic experience.
• Better aligner fit: Clear aligners are designed to tailor-fit the patient’s teeth and gums so as to achieve the desired results at the anticipated duration. With the regular use of Active™ by OrthoGum, the wearer’s jaw muscle strength may be enhanced. This can potentially allow better fit for the orthodontic appliance.
• Enhanced oral health: The fundamental function of saliva is to wash away food debris and bacteria remaining in the mouth and preventing caries and gum disease. Chewing gum is proven to stimulate saliva production and Active™ by OrthoGum also operates on this principle. Increased saliva can help cleanse stray food products, neutralize acids, and fight off harmful bacteria, contributing to enhanced oral health during orthodontic treatment.
• Highly convenient: Active™ by OrthoGum is an on-the-go oral care product. Wherever you are, be it the school or at work, you can maintain your oral health and facilitate a quicker orthodontic treatment process by chewing this gum.
• Ortho-approved product: Various sugar-free chewing gums have received the ADA Seal in the past for maintaining oral health and hygiene, especially in cases of gum disease and dental decay. Active™ by OrthoGum has also been accredited by many orthodontists as this is also a sugar-free, non-sticky gum that can be incorporated into everyday routine.

A 2023 study demonstrated that chewing gum has a significant effect on relieving orthodontic pain and can be an affordable and convenient alternative to analgesics with no side effects. However, not much data has been gathered to confirm that chewing gum can accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. Some experts believe that since you can chew this gum with aligners in, the overall wear-time increases, therefore, providing an illusion of faster treatment duration.
