Swolen gums around ONE tooth?!

It may just be an irritation. You may have a piece of food in their that is causing the swelling. I would try to floss again and maybe purchase a gum stimulator which can be purchased at a pharmacy and relatively inexpensive, also use mouth wash regularly to try and kill any bacteria. That may help. Also, schedule an appointment with your dentist for a check-up. Some dental plans offer check-ups on a calender year rather than a rolling six months. So even if you went late last year, you could go in soon if you're really concerned.

Had something similar above a tooth. It didn't stay long and I found that flossing it helped a lot.

Its possible that you already had some inflammation in the area as you have braces and you dont clean it thoroughly on a regular basis. But when you flossed it you could have pushed some food particle too deep in the gums which is now exacerbating the symptom which was already developing.
