So I just got my braces today, and the thing is, it's totally killing me, right now, it's hurting so bad, what am I gonna do? What are the do's and don'ts? And when is this pain going to end? What are the types of foods that I can only eat, because eating hard foods is totally forbidden.

ohh don't worry at all..
for me it took about a week and i felt fine..
I remember it feeling weird even to put a spoon in my mouth! I ate soup and icecream the first few days.. You will get used to them in no time!
Just watch out with chewy foods...
Eat in small portions..
cut things up..

Don't listen to those ice cream eating faties. =P Just kiddddingg. Don't worry the pain goes away in a couple of days. Mean while just eat soft foods such as soup and another thing i saw somewhere is that you shouldn't eat ice, i frankly don't know why that is. O and traingle_of3 get your facts straight.. i mean come on think about it.. your teeth are getting shifted and you don't get hurt? come on.. just think about that..

Braces shouldn't hurt. Sounds to me like they need to be adjusted by your dentist. Call your dentist and get back in their office so they can correct what is causing the pain.
It's no fun when you hurt. Especially from what you describe.

HELLO,
WHEN THE BRACES ARE TIGHTENED OR THE WIRES ARE CHANGED YOU WILL FEEL PRESSURE.
THIS PAIN WON'T LAST FOREVER. YOU CAN TAKE 1-2 TABS TO HELP WITH THE DISCOMFORT.
