There is a rare chance you're allergic to the metal the braces are made from but unlikely. You may have to get tested for the metal allergy.



Braces shouldn't do that at all - I am not expert but they just shouldn't itch!
I would say, are you brushing your teeth PROPERLY (using mouth wash, normal bristle toothbrush for about 2 minutes and an electric toothbrush for over 2 minutes, floss if you wish) and then make sure you clean your brace as well!

If you're doing this and it still doesn't help I would say give your orthodontist a visit (or the dentist)!

Hope I helped!
