I never wore braces personally and
I get the overall theory of braces. It seems so painful… Can one adjust to them pretty easily?Just wondering about the mechanics. Tia!

it’s painful at the start, but not a sharp pain, more like an ache, because the wire is pretty tight. you’ll also probably get ulcers. you can ask for some wax so lubricate the inside of your cheeks to prevent ulcers.
but after the first month or so, you’ll get used to it. every month when the orthodontist tightens it, you’ll feel that same ache for maybe a day or 2 and it goes away.
i recommend having toothpicks on you because food will get stuck almost every meal.
