Gums hurt and are loose above braces?!


Question: Gums hurt and are loose above braces?
This isn't your average QQ about gums being sore from braces. I had my braces tightened for about 6 days, where it isn't that sore anymore. However, there is this one small area above my teeth (the top gumline) where it "hurts." It hurts when I lick it or move my mouth. Today I just tried touching it, it feels loose and "unfirm," unlike how a real gumline should feel like.
The thing is, no part of my braces are touching it, absolutely none. My braces are not too tight at the moment. Is it from my braces or bad brushing?\

Any tips?

Answers:

its brcause of the tightening of braces.as the teeth move closure to eachother,the gums between the teeth form a bulge or swell up because they cannot modify so fast.but slowly within 3-4 weeks the gums again modify themselves and become tight.
till then keep up your brushing.



You probably have a little gum infection . . .
Its nothing to worry about . . . it happened to me because i wasn't flossing at all and when that happens its usually because of plaque build-up, or so says my dentist, all you have to do is floss more regularly and use your little cleaning brush



This could be cause from biting of gums. Wait about 2 weeks and it will go away without recogniton.
