DONT get clear or white or yellow!!!! If you get food stuck on them u could see it! I think u should get light blue and/or light or hot pink!. And yea from what I have been researching it does it a little but for the first few days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
As for the pain, it's not uncommon for there to be a little pain because you have bands put on pushing teeth apart and strange wires and brackets all over the place!. Your mouth is probably feeling pretty full right now!. Do yourself a favor!.!.!.!.don't push or rub on your lips, pushing against the brackets on your teeth can cause mouth ulcers and can be very painful!. Use the wax the dentist gave you and eat soft foods today and tomorrow!. Lots of ice cream, cold drinks or Popsicles! If your dentist prescribed Advil or Motrin for pain be sure to take it!. Even today your teeth are on the move, but trust me, it does get easier and less painful after a few days!. Every month you will be going back to see your dentist for adjustments!. Sometimes it's a little uncomfortable for a day or so, but keep in mind how great your smile will be when it's all over! It will all be worth it in the long run!. Some of my favorite patients are in ortho and it's always great to see their reactions when they finally get them off!. It's usually one of hugs, kisses and Lots of looks in the mirror at their fantastic smile! Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The pain doesn't last more than a couple days!. It will eventually go away!. I wouldn't worry!. I had my braces on from 5th to 7th grade!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You said you were 11!. In two of your previous questions you say you are 14!. Sounds like somebody is trying to get attention!.
