Do you mean....: Is it possible to get jaw pain from wearing braces? Yes, to some extent. If that's the case, speak to your dentist to see if the pain is related to the braces or if it's something else.

Reverse?: I assume you mean is it possible to get jaw pain from braces. The answer is yes. TMJ problems a known complication of orthodontic treatment. Make sure your brace doc is a board certified orthodontist.
