when did your braces start to hurt?

I got braces today! I'm very excited and I was also expecting some pain. It's been already almost 7 hours since I got them on and the wire tightened, and I still don't feel any major pain. How long did it take for you to feel the pain when you got yours? Just curious...

    I only felt pain for the first couple of hours and even then, it wasn't pain it was just soreness. My teeth really weren't that bad at all and never got them tightened after that because i didn't need to. Plus different people can tolerate a different amount of pain.

    I never felt pain with mine.. a little soreness when they have to adjust them and then pain when they take them off..

    but other than that its all good.. unless you have to wear the rubber bands.. those hurt your jaw a bit.
