i just got my braces off! belive me, its worth it, and wear your retainers when there off so you won't have to get them again!
whenever they changed my wires i took Tylenol (sp?) or ibuprofen, depending on how old you are. also....i tried this when they adjusted my retainers (hurts just as bad about) try holding cold water in your mouth...sucking on ice (plz be careful, u could choke if you swallow it accidentally) if they rub on your lip get some cream from the drug store or department store that numbs your lip...it should say its for brace spots or somthing liek that...
its painful....but the pain should subside partially to fully in a few days.
i have the upmost sympathy for you, since i went through nearly 3 long years of the same torture! BUT ITS WORTH IT! believe me....
if you need any more advice about anything, leave me a note in my inbox!
Much love,

sorry to say, but they're supposed to be tight.
but, you know how your ortho dude said not to chew gum or anything? because they loosen up your wire. so now, im telling you to chew gum, or anything, but keep it to a minimum to prevent brachet breakage.

Well acctualy yes. When you get your braces tightened take some advil or a pain reliver. thats what my friend did, It was funny he asked the teacher to go down to get some eigth period and she goes, Shut up, wait till you get home im teaching. Im alittle off subject but yeah take a pain reliver
hope it helped

It's probably because it's too tight on you, or it was wrongly inserted.
You really should contact your Orthodontist (dentist) and see if he/she can fix your problem.
Unless you are new to your braces, it's normal they'll hurt at first, and a new wire can do the same, so give it about a week first.
If it persists or worsens for a week or two, check with your dentist just to be assured it's normal and you'll be OK.
Hope I helped! =]
