Whenever they tighten them or do something new it is going to hurt for a couple of days. This is your teeth being forced into there correct position. I'm not sure if there is anything you can do, except talk to your orthodonist about slowing the process, but you might be stuck with your braces for even longer. Hang in there, it will be worth it.

My daughter had this problem when she wore braces. Everytime the orthodontist tightened her braces, her teeth would really hurt for a few days afterwards. She would take pain relievers to reduce the discomfort. Still, don't try to do anything that will slow down your treatment because that means you will have to wear braces for a longer period of time. My daughter was supposed to wear rubber bands on her braces for a while. She hated them and wouldn't put them on. She ended up having to wear braces for an extra year because of that.
