My gums are really causing me trouble also. They are very swollen where my gaps have closed. On my right lateral incisor the gum is touching my bracket. My ortho recommended that I see a perio about lasering some gum tissue off in the places where the gums have sorta piled up. I have done the salt water rinses, I floss, i brush, try to massage it and nothing is making my gums look less puffy. I go on Dec 5th to talk to the perio I hope there is something that they can do. GL to you also! Talk to your ortho and see what he/she thinks.
