<s>[INST] My son has a removable brace on his top teeth which he has to enlarge twice a week. His gums are looking very slightly inflamed but th today he pointed out a flap of skin between two teeth which are being moved. Is this a normal part of teeth movement or do I need to take him to the orthodontist to get it checked [/INST] Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as your son had under orthodontic treatment don't be worried so much in this treatment maintain of proper oral hygiene is slightly difficult and as your son had removable orthodontic appliance inflammation might be due to injury during wearing of appliance.  Don't be worried so much I will suggest you to consult your orthodontic for examination of gums and in meantime do warm saline rinses, and you can apply ointment like gum paint on gums. Hope this will help you </s>
