Hi,

Read your query , understand your concern as you are wearing braces what happened is during orthodontic treatment it slight difficult to maintain good oral hygiene , dont worry you swelling in gums can be due to deposition of food debris subgingival areas of gums or due to changes in periodontal ligaments leads to periodontal problem .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, You can apply ointment Gum paint on gums, use orthodontic brush to brush your teeth.
Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily.
Consult your dentist for regular examination of oral cavity and treatment.

Hope it will help you.
