Answers:

I had braces for 5 years so I can understand your pain. I used to do so many things for my pain. Sometimes you just have to give it time, and it will go away.. but in the mean time you have to find what works best for you.
Here are some ideas that worked for me:
1.I would bite down on something really hard until it actually felt good... (weird I know)
2. I would eat ice cream
3. I would take my finger and gently rub my teeth
4. Rinse your mouth with warm water
5. Take asprin!

As you have your braces on longer, you will get used to it everytime they are tightened and the pain wont become so bothersome anymore.
