Well my sister has braces too and her gums were very sore after she had hers fitted. its becuase your not used to it and the metal on your teeth. The dentist should have given you some wax to put over the metal when it hurts. Ask him for some and see if there is any cream you can use. it will stop hurting in a few days

They have certain creams and stuff that you use for just that problem. I have braces as well and when I first got them I had cuts and sores all in my mouth. But there are many things you can do to help. Just go to Walmart or Target and look down the orthepidic section for different creams and stuff. You just apply is on the sore spot in your mouth and the swelling goes down a lot. (My bottom lip looked like i got sucker punched and it swelled like a balloon, but creams make it back to the normal size. works like a charm.)
Im order to keep your braces from cutting your mouth again ask your dentist/orthadontist for wax. He will explain everything to do.
Hope I helped :)

maybe try the wax that he gave you? if he didnt give you any you could buy some from the store like cvs or walgreens.

I've had them too. I'm pretty sure it's an ulcer. Make sure you keep the area clean (as you're doing) and use mouthwash or a salt/water mix to gargle and swish around in your mouth. This will 1) Keep the area disinfected, which would lead to further discomfort and 2) Help heal the wound faster. Hope you feel better soon!
