Most patients feel pressure and soreness for 3–5 days after each adjustment — over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods help significantly. Initial placement causes mild discomfort as teeth adjust. The brackets themselves don't hurt, but wires can occasionally poke; orthodontists provide wax to cover sharp ends between appointments.

Many dental plans include an orthodontic benefit — typically covering 25–50% up to a lifetime maximum of $1,500–$3,000. Some plans cover children only; adult coverage is less common.
