it hurts and is somewhat big but not huge. it is slightly red. I am sexually active but he uses condoms EVERYTIME. I have had braces for 10 days. But my mom doesn't thinks its them because I had no pain or discomfort after getting the braces.
 
Could be anything from gingivitis to a scratched rugae (the bumpy stuff right behind your top front teeth). Some people have a bony bump on the roof of their mouth called a palatal torus. Or it could be some kind of skin tumor, which obviously should be checked by a doctor or dentist.
Very unlikely that braces on the lip side of your teeth would cause a sore on the roof of your mouth.
Get it looked at if it lasts longer than 10 days.
 
ohh, i use to get bumps !! .. and i had brace's ..
its probly somthng you ate or its the braces cuz when i wasn't use to them i got a bump up there to it will hurt but to get rid of it just take warm water and salt and move it around in your mouth and spit it out and do that a few times each night and it will be gone in no time but dont swollow it ! .. good luck=]
