How long does it take the pain to stop after you get braces?

I just got braces yesterday and its been a roll coaster I thought I PASSED all the real pain with the spacers, now im having trouble eating and sleeping. I have been taking tynoel like some people suggested but it doesnt seem to work, I can not take midol yet because I had a procedure in my mouth done and my doctor said it could cause me to bleed. So my question is how long does it take for the pain to stop/reduce after getting the braces done? After I start getting them tighten how long is it going to take then too?

Thanks so much for your help and consideration it is greatly needed!

You should take Advil or Motrin for your dental discomfort and the inflammation, this should be used when you have adjustments made through out your ortho treatment. It will take several days for you to get comfortable with them, keep in mind the teeth are moving even right now. This is why you are having pain, all of your teeth are being loosened. You will get used to them, it's a whole lot of new stuff in your mouth so give your self time to adjust. Drink and eat cold things, this will help to numb your mouth and ease the soreness. In a few days slowly start adding foods back into your diet, softer ones to start. Always cut your food into bite size pieces so you don't pop brackets off biting into these foods. Most importantly, don't neglect brushing and flossing. I know it hurts right now, but if you don't maintain good hygiene, your gums will hurt worse later. It will get better and easier in a few days, try to relax and switch to the Ibuprofen, it does much better for orthodontic pain. Good luck!
