When I got the braces on the upper teeth, I never really had any pain, just a slight discomfort. But I just got these braces on the bottom teeth a couple days ago. I still wouldn’t call it pain, but I would call it a strong discomfort. I am feeling them far more than I did when I first got the braces put on my upper teeth. The discomfort is especially strong when I eat more solid foods. I hope this goes away soon.
Hi,
I am an adult who got braces on both my upper and lower teeth 5 days ago, and am experiencing a lot of discomfort. Do you know when this feeling goes away? I hear between two weeks and a month.

Any discomfort I have experienced has lasted only a handful of days.

No, it never goes away. The people with braces just never eat. Ever.
