The pain will last prob. anywhere from 3-5 days. Especially since you just got them on and your teeth are basically in shock. They will be sore (probably not as intense though :-) ) every time you get them adjusted. Try to avoid anything crunchy (especially chips and nuts!!!) and make sure you tear your food instead of biting into it (so you dont knock any brackets off!!) I used to work in an ortho office..if you have any questions just ask!! :-)

It really only hurts when you bite down on things for the frist week or so but it depends on how bad your teeth are at first too, the worse your teeth are the more braces will hurt at first. soft things that you dont have to bite with your front teeth seem to be best. It does get better pretty quick though after the first month you pretty much forget what not wearing braces is like and they wont bother you most of the time, it will be annoying when food gets stuck in them or you have to floss though but its just part of it.

I got braces a few months ago, and I can tell you, for the next few days your teeth will be sore so it is best to just eat ice cream and jello for a while. After you've ajusted, you can eat regular food, even chew gum, but be catious when you eat crunchy foods. After you eat a sandwitch, it would be best to brush your teeth after cause the bread gets stuck to your braces.... Your lucky I had to get mine on just before thanksgiving,

About 3 days, maybe a week. Your teeth will be sore when you wake up for a fair while though. Eat very soft things, like noodles, ice cream etc. Or soup, soup is good.
