I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone Orthodontic treatment now you have swollen gums , painful also , dont worry see what happend is in orthodontic treatment oral hygiene maintaince is difficulty and periodontal ligaments are also slightly weak,

So you do is warm salt gargle two - three times a day
Do chlorhexidine mouthwash 2 times a day
Consult dentist for Oral prophylaxis

Hope this will help you.
