What Causes Red Bumps Along The Gumline Of The Teeth?

I have small red bumps along the gumline of my teeth. Between my middle two teeth and along the top of one to the side. Its doesn't hurt, Ive also been wearing my retainer and they only appeared after I put the retainer on. I'm supposed to wear it daily but I choose not to. The retainer also looks like invisaline but its not, because Ive already got my braces taken off. What could the bumps be?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the bumps ocuring on the gum line could be secondary to the irritation caused by the retainer or it can be because of gum infection. consult a oral physician and get yourself examined. if any sharp margins are get it trimmed. if it is gum infection then get your teeth cleaned. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
