Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. The bump at the back of your mouth could be due to periodontal pocket, an abscess that contains bacteria and pus in it.Also, due to presence of braces many a time it is difficult to maintain hygiene and results in decay.Therefore, in my view you must seek your dentist help in this regard and get the suitable treatment done. The earlier, the better it is, in case of gum problems and tooth decay. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
