I got my top braces put on a few months ago, and they didn't hurt until a week after I got them on.
At every tightening appointment, however, they began to hurt instantly.

Thursday, I got my bottom braces put on and I could tell when they were putting the bands over the wires that they would also hurt instantly.
Most people that I've asked locally say that their braces only hurt when they tried to eat or bite down on anything. However, my pain is different than that. My pain is a constant sharp pain all throughout my whole bottom teeth. I have literally took 2 Hydrocodone pills with a strength of 500mg. If you don't know what those are, they are a high strentgh opioid or narcotic prescription pain pills that usually relieve any pain whatsoever. Along with those, I've took at least 9 tylenols, 4 ibuprofens, and 2 advils. I usually took 3 tylenols at a time and they did somewhat seem to help, whereas even the hydrocodone pills did nothing.

Has anyone else had any experiences like this? Any tips to subside the pain...because painkillers do not work at all.

I've never had pain with the braces... it was when I got them off. They had to grind the concrete type stuff off my teeth... and that was a living hell.

I've never had to put any braces, thanks god .
