What Causes A Lump Under Canine Too After Getting Braces Fitted?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
There can be two reasons for this lump below the canine, first it can be possible that it is just a traumatic lump caused by trauma from the braces.
Or secondarily it can be abscess caused by infection in canine, but in this case there should be no pain or pus discharge, so it can be just caused by trauma.
Hope it will help you.
