Limey, I use to have the same problem. The little hook on the very back of the braces would catch the side of my cheek when I would open and shut my mouth. That little hook is what the use to tighten them up every time u go back to visit. I found that using a little liquid Orajel will help knumb the pain. As for the bleeding I think you might wanna ask your orthodontist and he/she may give you some kind of padding to put in there or cover the hook.
