Hi
Thanks for writing in.
As per your history you have got traumatic bite a year ago & since then you have this problem. I don't completely agree with concept of deep bite & XXXXXXX
You need to answer few of my questions to help me out to make proper diagnosis:-
- Was the onset acute or persistent?
- Is swelling localized or diffuse?
- Is there any other systemic disease or any symptom present ?
- Is there any other perioral manifestation?
There are many home remedies for acute cases but you have this problem since a year. Hence please answer these queries so that i can make further diagnosis.
Awaiting for your follow up

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your answers.
Swollen gums occur usually due to plaque & calculus deposition that results in inflammation of gums further causing bleeding.As you mentioned its recurring & relieved on doing gingivitis.Hence its nothing but gingivitis.
First line of treatment is scaling followed by gum massage with gum tone gel.
Along with that use of 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash once daily half an hour after brushing.Before planing for other orthodontic options go for this procedure.
Consult your dentist for further treatment plan.
Hope I answered your query
Wishing you good health
