Cope: Getting braces placed on your teeth will cause discomfort from the pressure and initial trama from the procedure. You will also experience some discomfort and pressure following your adjustment appointments. This is not severe pain. It will ease over the week. Taking over-the-counter medication will help relieve your pain. Advil or Motrin are good for pain and inflammation. You may try a Tylenol (acetaminophen) +
