I meant to ask this at the orthodontist today but I forgot (braces)?

Question

I just got my braces off today and my gums are a tiny bit swollen. Is this normal? Should it go down? Should I be worried? Thanks.

Answer 1

mine did the same when i got mine off years back. give it a week or so.  

Answer 2

no it shouldn't be a problem but if the swelling doesn't go down i think you should go back. congrats on getting braces off.

Answer 3

Yeah that's fine. Make sure you continue to brush your teeth well and your gums (but not too hard). I got mine off two weeks ago! It feels FABULOUS! Congrats to you!

EDIT: I want to be your contact, but you want an email first. Can you allow emails on your page? Thanks! I love that lilypie.com thing on your page by the way!
