Having the braces put on is not painful per se. It may be a bit uncomfortable having your mouth open for so long and your lips will get dry but it isn't actual pain.
Your lips will be sore for about a week as they adjust to the roughness of the braces. Luckily, your orthodontist will give you a wax you can cover the brackets with to make the surface smoother.
Talking wasn't an issue for me. After having my braces removed, I had a lisp when I wore my retainer, but braces did not affect my teeth.
The first few days you will want to eat soft foods such as mashed potatoes, noodles, soups, jello, pretty much anything you can just swallow. Each time you get your braces tightened you will experience some soreness and will want to avoid hard foods then too. I'd also recommend taking a pain reliever each time as well, because there will be soreness.
In the end, the small pain is worth the great smile you will have the rest of your life.Health Question & Answer

It does hurt whenever you go to get them tightened each month. That usually lasts for a few days and it's hard to chew so you have to drink soup.
It does affect the way you eat because food always gets caught in your braces so you have to brush it out right after each meal, you also can't chew gum or eat anything hard.
I think for the first couple days when you get your braces it might be weird to talk.
If your teeth aren't that bad and don't look really crooked, then I would just go for visiline or whatever it's called, it's like an invisible mouth retainer. It's a lot easier since you can take it out, and it looks way better too.Health Question & Answer

The actual process of having them put on doesn't hurt. They will start to be sore soon though so I would take some Alive or Tylenol before you go.
There's really no reason to be worried about the actual process of having them put on - that's painless.
As your teeth start to shift and move around that's what will be painful. Health Question & Answer
