    Screwing in your teeth?? I am not sure what you mean.

    If you are talking about when the orthodontist tightens your braces then, it does not hurt really while they are tightening the braces. There can be discomfort after the braces have been tightened for a day or two but that is about the extent of things.

    If you are talking about when the braces are put on your teeth then, that does not hurt. Your teeth hurt for about 4-5 days AFTER having the braces put on, but not while they are being put on.
