Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Gums

I have a bar at the roof of my mouth for my braces recently went and got them tightened, now where the bar is, the gums are becoming swollen and sore around it and the swelling is increasing in size. There is no white in the swelling nor is it bright red just usual pinky sort of red colour but it is sore when touched.
