When will my braces stop hurting?

The first few times you have them tightened they will hurt for almost a week. Eventually it will hurt less when you keep getting it done it may last a day or you could even being chewing fine right away. the first few times is when most of the movement is resisted by your teeth so they hurt more. eventually they basically "soften" and they are moved more freely, which is why it hurts less. They will always be sore after you get them tightened though. hope this helps good luck.
