Pain after braces is not an abnormal thing. So first , dont panic, just make sure you maintain proper hygiene in the area, you can use orthodontic brush for that purpose. Also if you can add warm saline rinses to your routine for coming 7 days, it'llbe of great help.

Pain is normal but bleeding from gums isn't normal....
It suggests that your gums are not healthy. Kindly brush properly with orthodontic brush. Gums do start swelling during orthodontic treatment because of inability to clean teeth properly.
Brush and rinse after every meal.
Consult me through online consultation.
