I just got braces yesterday and i'm experiencing severe tooth sensitivity. it hurts to the touch. is this normal?

Normal, no...: ...but not unusual. Should be transient, beginning to ease off after a few days. If you are seeing an Orthodontic Specialist you should have been provided with both verbal and written instructions as to foods, meds, hygiene, etc. Additional information can be found on your Orthodontist's web site.

Yes: Normal. You will feel better in a few days. In the meantime, a soft diet and frequent brushing will keep your mouth in tip-top shape.
