Why do my braces hurt so much?

First off that sucks, I'm sorry, I've been there. They're gonna be really really sensitive for a while but this is the worst it'll ever be... take pain meds, sleep if you can, and most importantly eat the softest things you can, if there's a certain area you didn't get braces, chew there. If you can't sleep keep yourself preoccupied to keep your mind of the pain. Braces suck but they're worth it :)
