I've got this bump on teeth around braces brackets, should i be worried?

Unusual?: Bumps growing on teeth are quite unusual, but if it is artificial, it makes sense: a tooth-colored resin bonding agent is commonly used to hold the brackets. It is likely that you are seeing the excess bonding glued to the tooth surface. Please return to your dentist and see if it needs to be removed, as this may cause some plaque retention, or even food trap. Can you send a phone picture to dr?
