That looks more than unpleasant... I've never seen it like that before. The metal parts hurt the gums, don't they...? I imagine inflammation and complications...

It IS unpleasant and quite irritating for the patient as well but this is necessary for the joint stabilization before the surgery. It indeed hurts the gums, causes inflammation and cause hygiene issues as well but all of these things are considered small comparing it to the most important thing and that is to stabilize the fracture before surgery.
