I Just Got Braces 2 Days Ago And I Hadn't

I just got braces 2 days ago and I hadn't been flossing because of discomfort. (I planned to start today) when after brushing I noticed that my gums were swollen. Is this because of braces? Do I need to start to floss? Am I brushing too hard? ( there is very FAINT red coloring in my toothpaste when I spit)
