I have come across such cases.. usually it's because some amount of calculus which is below the gum line... It is found there because of your teeth movement during alignment of teeth . Or reduced oral hygiene during the treatment..
Next Steps
Get in touch with a periodontist, LASER CURRETAGE / Laser Sulucular Debridement is the treatment of choice. Minimally invasive maximum results
Health Tips
Get a round of scaling done. Little Improvement will be there for sure.

Hello, the lumps can be due to gum irritation because of compromised oral hygiene. Which is generally seen in ortho cases.

Mostly might be because of wire poking in that region. Please consult your orthodontist and rule out other abnormalities
