Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone Orthodontic treatment now you have swollen gums, painful also, don't worry see what happened is in orthodontic treatment oral hygiene maintain is difficulty and periodontal ligaments are also slightly weak, So you do is warm salt gargle two - three times a day Do chlorhexidine mouthwash 2 times a day Consult dentist for Oral prophylaxis Hope this will help you.  Wish you good health.
