Most orthodontists say to not chew gum, chew hard candy or ice or anything else either really hard or really chewy and sticky. I chewed caramels, crunched ice, ate hard candies and chewed them up and never had a problem. Your results may vary.
If your ortho hasn't given them to you yet, find some of those weird plastic tooth pick things that can be bent into angles. They will be your best friend for getting things unstuck from your braces. And don't worry about the cheeks bleeding, you'll build up callouses after a while.
