The pain will start to sink in after a few hours, but it only lasts a couple days. Plan on eating soft foods at first. I remember when I first got my braces, I wasn't used to them and felt like they took up so much room in my mouth. It was the weirdest thing to learn how to eat with all that metal in my mouth. And then when I got them off, I felt like I had sooo much room in my mouth and my teeth felt so smooth. Your teeth are going to be so beautiful when they come off!Health Question & Answer
when i got my braces, i had to suck on bread. I know disgusting. Its hard to eat for the first couple of days, but you will eventually get used to it. But it really was not as painful as some people said, for me anyway, and I don't think I used any pain killers. Do not let people scare you. But still use a motrin, or advil because everyone's teeth reacts differently. Just think that in a couple of years, you will have beautiful teeth!

theyre gonna hurt like hell for the first couple days, but you get wax to get the pressure off, but they still hurt.
Every now and then, mabye 3 months, youll go back to the office and get the wires tightened. Since your teeth move, the braces have to keep getting resized.
When the ortho feels they're straight, he might make you wear headgear. (i wore that), its a bar that goes in the sides of your braces and goes all around your head.
It hurts a lot at night, cuz it moves. and that fixes overbite.
Eventually, youll get them off and yay! lolHealth Question & Answer

Stack up on some pain killers for the first few days.Braces add pressure to your teeth, and it may take them a while to get used to that sort of pressure.
Clean your teeth after each meal.
Dont bite into hard things such as bones or apples.
