Answer #1

hm yes it is normal.. but not all the time. do you floss day and night? if not. thats the problem..or just try to brush longer and make sure you get every area.

Answer #2

well, that happend to me, and all you have to do is ask thge orthodontist for wax and wear it until you gums get used to the braces again. [=

Answer #3

Wax! Also ask your orthodontist to bend the pointy things in. That helped me A LOT!
