Hey!
Yeah I have that too. There are two different possibilities. The first one is the most likely, you probably have gingivitis, that is pretty common, and it just means you arent brushing right, so talk to your orthodontist and see if (s)he can help you get rid of them.
The other option is you're allergic to the metal. It's not as common, but it is possible, so talk to your orthodontist and see if thats whats wrong.
It will probably be one of those two, and either way they can help you out with them and teach you how to get it all fixed up. Hope I helped. Love ya,

i use to have that and my ortho said it was gingivitis. i used fluoride rinse everyday and brushed a bunch-bunch-bunch. massaging your gums with you finger will also help. but, it's not normal. so do i what i said and it should go away.

how long have you had your braces?
do you have a chain across where the gums are?
do you floss and use mouthwash?
it could be gingivitis. i have had braces for 6 years now (this is my last month) and because of it, my teeth arent getting as clean as they should be so i have gingivitis. my dentist told me to use listerine mouth wash twice a day and floss every day and it will reduce the swelling. if you have a chain and just got it put on, then you notice your teeth hurt and they were pulled together almost instantally. Its normal to have gum between when you have a chain because the way that they are pulled together so quickly.
