i have alot of pain on my lower gums.It feels almost like an abcess would but it is not an abcess.Like the bone is really sore.Is this from the braces or not related to it at all? It really hurts.
Give your ortho and dentist a call. They will be able to take a look and see what's going on in your mouth. I don't know if its related, sorry there. Take a few pain relivers to get you through the night.
