Carrying on...: The problem with inflammations that your cheeks may actually be swelling into the area where your teeth come together. See your General Dentist. If your Orthodontist doesn't want to see ou, see a different Orthodontist for a second opinion. See a specialist in Oral Medicine or Oral Pathology, or seek evaluation in the Oral Medicine Department of a University Dental School. Be persistent.
