Eli5: How do braces work to correct teeth?

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 not really that painful. When you have braces, you get them adjusted about once a month. When adjusted, you feel some pressure, and maybe a small ache for a few hours, or a day, but after that, you don’t feel any pain.

Then you go back about a month later, get them adjusted, and you feel that pressure again for another day.
