I'll describe the process of which my orthodontist used and whether it hurt or not!.
1!. He makes a 'cement' paste!. It's not cement, but it's an adhesive for sure!. It doesn't hurt or anything, it feels 'minty' and it only tastes bad, but it's not unbearable!.
2!. You wait for the paste to be finished and then he applies it onto the brackets (the things that hold the wire in place)!. He will place a ring on your last tooth (that is to hold the wire securely, since in the brackets, it could slide out)!. While he 'hammers' (it's not hammering, but he asks you to bite something that will push the ring to fit around your tooth), it might be uncomfortable for a while (a while being 5 minutes!?)
3!. After he's done putting on all the brackets, you wait for the paste to harden!.
4!. He measures the wire that will fit into your mouth!. It doesn't hurt, but while he's measuring it, you might feel a bit of discomfort because the wire is still too long and will slightly 'poke' into your cheek (only for a few seconds as he measures)!.
5!. After the measuring is done, he will fit the wire onto your brackets and push it into the holder on the ring!. This will slightly tighten your teeth, but it's not 'painful' yet!.
6!. He will put on the rubber bands that go on your brackets!. After all of them have been fitted on, you will feel a tightening that may be called 'pain'!. It's pulling your teeth together to straighten them!.
You are finished with putting on the braces!.
Before I answer your next question, I would like to say that this is based off my personal experience and that the 'pain' depends on your teeth!. For example, my teeth didn't start out that crooked, so there was minimal 'pain'!. However, my friend had extremely crooked teeth, so she felt 'pain' more than I did!. The 'pain' I felt lasted for about 3 days while I was chewing or clenching my teeth!. But for my friend, it lasted for 2 weeks!. Normally, this 'pain' lasts for about 1 week, and then it's fine, or may feel a bit sore!. The 'pain' might come back after each time you visit the orthodontist since they replace the old, loose rubber bands with new, tigher ones!. When you're almost done with your braces, and you get new rubber bands, the 'pain' is almost gone, since your teeth are about straight enough!.
Braces are annoying to take care off, like flossing and brushing!. For flossing, here is the process:
You poke the floss through this 'needle' (plastic of course) and you just 'weave' it through your teeth!.
For brushing:
1!. You brush the insides
2!. You brush the crushing/tearing food surface
3!. You brush the surface (outside)
4!. You brush your tongue (I suppose this is if you have had the habit to!?)
That's the only time they're annoying, the rest of the time, you don't really feel them and get usedto them!.
