Hi,
Yes, this is completely normal. When braces are placed, the brackets and wires apply gentle pressure on your teeth, which can cause a feeling of tightness and mild soreness.
There’s nothing to worry about. You can try the following:• Warm salt water rinses 3–4 times a day• Stick to a soft diet for a few days if chewing feels uncomfortable• Take a paracetamol (if not allergic) in case of discomfort
This soreness usually settles within 4–5 days as your teeth adjust to the braces.
Thank you.
Next Steps

Mild pain or discomfort after braces activation is normal and usually settles within a few days.
You can manage it with soft diet, warm salt water rinses, and mild analgesics paracetamol if needed.
If pain is severe or persists, consult your orthodontist for evaluation.
