Not during surgery: Local or general anesthesia makes surgery painless. Once anesthesia wears off you will have pain that your surgeon will control with anti-pain medications and anti-inflammatories. Talk this over with your Surgeon.

It depends: Pain is a difficult thing to predict. The most important question is what kind of orthodontic surgery you are asking about. There are many different kinds, ranging from very comfortable to requiring anesthesia. Secondly, patients have a wide range of pain tolerance. What one person considers very painful is only mildly irritating to another.

Yes it can: The tissue over the torus is very thin. On closure after removal of the bone, it tend to break down and heals in secondarily. Think of it as a large ulcer.

Moderate: It really depends on exactly what surgery you are having. Pain from this can easily be managed with intravenous medications while in the hospital and with oral medications after discharge to home.
