What can i do with swollen gums from braces?

Swollen gums: Usually swollen gums are not caused by the braces themselves. Not thoroughly removing bacteria from the tooth surfaces between the braces and the gum line causes swelling. The bacteria produce enzymes that literally begin digesting your gums. See dentist for thorough professional cleaning. Then see orthodontic specialist for specific orthodontic oral hygiene instructions.

Visit your dentist: It is common with braces to see the gums get swollen and infected. Usually swollen gums occur due lack of regular cleaning and flossing. Take especially good care of your teeth and your gums during orthodontic treatment.
