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!

Basically it’s a wire that is attached to each of the mounts glued to your teeth. They adjust them by tightening the wire, to pull the teeth in a direction that will leave them looking “straight.” They can also use hooks and bands to pull your jaw in a direction so that your upper and lower teeth align as well.
I hated all three years of my braces. My orthodontist was a sadist with god awful breath. I was in pain every day I had them on, worse for the week following any adjustment.
