Ibuprofen works better for tooth pain. Take two every four hours. Eat soft foods or better yet stick to liquids like soups and smoothies for a few days. Rinse your mouth out with warm salty water to help with the braces rubbing the inside of your mouth. Other than that just put up with it. It will ease soon enough and you will get used to them. Good luck.

Paracetamol would be a good idea and massage the jaws connection by the ear :) I did this with mine and it helped also mouth your mouth like your yawning stretch it and do that several times! The pain/pressure eventually goes! Ice cream works as well (:
