I have braces and I had the same problem when I got the rubber bands.
My orthodontist just said that since I just got them on, it could be a little irritated by them but that it'll get used to them.
Also, you should remember to floss your teeth everyday.
That was a big problem for me, because when I didn't my gums would get very red and inflamed.
So brush your teeth after every meal, floss every day, and just wait a while and it should get better.

It could be possible, call your ortho. and schedule a appt.
But, it's probably irritated because you aren't used to it, and it is pulling your teeth over.
This was exactly the same to me, I had unbelievable pain.
Hope I Helped!
