Should not: Speak to your orthodontist and he can adjust the positioning of the braces.

Depends on you. If your foot is swollen it will hurt to put-on shoes. If your gums are swollen it will hurt not ngetn your braces adjusted. It's simple, brush 2x/day soft t'brush for 2 full minutes by the clock. And even more important, floss or WaterPik daily. Follow your Orthodontist's advice to the letter.
