Your son may be showing habitual chewing while his mind is engaged in intellectual works. Deep concentration on the things he is doing on the laptop might be engaging his thoughts and he chews as a thought diversion. Anyhow check his blood cbc and ft to see there is any deficiency of iron and thyroid function.
