Is it normal to experience gum irritation with slight bleeding between teeth? (Photo)

Dear ginap88,Thank you for postin gyour question on Real Self. I will do my best to address your concerns with the information provided.There are a few reasons why you have irritation between your teeth.  One is there may be a slight error in the fabrication of the aligner.  You can try filing the area on the aligner with a nail file.  Another cause for irritation is food impaction.  Thoroughly clean the area for a few days and it should alleviate the irritation.  If neither of these solve the problem, obviously scheduling an appointment with your doctor would be the next step.I hope that this helps and good luck!Best,Dr. Jenn
