Answers:
I know it sucks! Sorry but it is normal!. your teeth are literally twisting and there is quite a bit of stress on the roots of your teeth and sometimes it feels good to clench your teeth!. Some more things that will help are vitamins, lots of water, Oral B makes a teeth brush called a Vitalizer with rubber finger like things on the tooth brush that can really help!. right now the clenching is painful but after awhile it will kinda feel good!.sometimes it will also feel good the push on your teeth!? I pushed on my teeth all the time and they were pretty loose when I had my braces, my eye teeth were sideways! and the pain would go up the side of my head to my temples!. and then I had head gear that had to be worn at night!. I know it is not fun for you right now but you are lucky to have braces I know of kids that needed them but their family could not afford them and now there teeth are nasty and these people look like ogres and monsters! ya take a couple Ibuprofen and try not to think of it!. a couple days and the pain wont be as bad until you have to go back in!. good luck and hang in there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Did you just get braces!? If so then they will be sore for a few day/weeks (varies with the individual) Nevertheless whether you have had them a long or short time try this for pain:
1)asprin
2)rinse with warm sal water
3)try wax coatings (Hmm they go over your brackets to keep from rubbing your cheek so I don't know if this would help your problem :/)

And the next time you go to your orthodontist tell him about it!. He might be able to rearrange stuff to fix the problem!. There is a good chance you might have to wear bands (Almost all patients do) Also when you first get braces your teeth do a great deal of shifting so this might be normal right now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
