Braces and Bleeding Gums?

Question

I just got braces about two months ago, last week i had them tightened and had no pain at all. But after a few days I noticed at the roof of my mouth my gums started to swell. Now throughout the day my gums will bleed. And this isnt little bleeding, I spit out mouthfuls of blood, it doesnt hurt at all though. And I brush my teeth about 7 times a day. What is happening? Please help!

Answer 1

it is completely normal just call the ortho if you are really worried it is because the wires are tighter and you mouth is just reacting

Answer 2

It most likly has nothing to do with braces.. you should only brush your teeth after you eat and not hard because you actually dammage the gums.. i use to be ocd about my teeth and brushed every chance i got.. which caused my gums to swell and bleed. and my dentist gave me a soft bristel tooth brush and a special tooth paster for sensitve gums it help alot..and also now i try to stick to only 3-4 times a day
