Braces: For a gap in your front teeth...?click?

I have braces and i've had them for about six months now. I just recently got power chains and the gap in the front of my teeth is practically gone but the little piece of gum between my two front teet is being squished together and its really been hurting ever since i got the power chains which was 4 days ago.. I was curious if this is supposed to be happening?

It kinda feels swolen and it hurts if i touch it or hit it when i brush my teeth..

Please tell me if this is supposed to be happening and/or any solutions...

Thank you. :]

And if this has happened to you, did it go away soon?

Everything is O.K. I always had a gap between my two front teeth before getting braces. I went through the same thing with the pain, too. Once the movement of your front teeth stops and settles, the pain in your gum/ flesh between will numb out and stop.

I know it's a dramatic change for you to see that gap go away, so just hang in there. In the end, all your effort will be worth it. In the mean time, if the pain bothers you, you can use ora-gel to help manage the pain.
