Yes and even longer. Buy you some Oral-Gel (ok keep it hidden) listen to what he told you not to eat including ICE! Did you hear ICE? Take Asprins every 4 hours. Be behave it'll be worth it. You were beautiful before so think of what you'll be now. God Bless You and Our Southern People.

It's normal for it to hurt, even after two days. Usually on the first night it doesn't hurt, but the pain starts on the second or third day. I also would advise Tylenol or Advil but only at nights!! This is what my ortho told me because that's when it becomes necessary since you can't sleep so try not to take it during the day. It will hurt up to a week and this is normal so you don't have to worry as the results are definitely worth the pain. To decrease the pain however, try not to eat hard foods as they will only irritate the gums more (e.g. carrots, only sliced apples, etc). Below are a list of websites that I recommend you read over about the effects of braces:
I hope that helped!

Yes it will be sore for a little while and every time you get adjustments it might be sensitive for a few days after. Its only because your teeth are moving little by little. I'm not sure how your orthodontist practices but the doctor I work for uses different thicknesses of wire to shape your arch and a line your teeth. So every time our patients have an adjustment we put a thicker wire in so the tension is greater and so they do experience some soreness. Just take some Advil that's about all you can do.

yes its very normal.. when i got my braces my teeth hurt for about 2 weeks. the first week i could barely eat anything.. dont worry the pain wont last.. just be sure to take lots of aspirin.. and each month you get your braces "tightened" they wont hurt.. they might be a little sore but not sore to the point where you cant eat... good luck...

Yep, it's going to hurt. It can last up to a week. Try tylenol and baby orajel. The stuff makes it not hurt so bad.

Oh yeah! Every time they change the rubber bands on those things, your teeth will be sore. I am so glad to be done with all of that! I feel for you.

HA ya it is ..... be worried if they dont hurt.... before you go to the orthodontist take a couple of motrins or something, it helps alot,,,, and everytime you go and they tighten them or anything afterwards they WILL hurt,,,, sorry..., but its all worth it once you get them off.... ;D
