sore mouth because of braces

Yes, having mouth pain is quite common following application of braces. It should become less noticeable over time as your teeth start moving into the desired position.

If you're really bothered by the pain there is a product commonly sold for teething pain in babies, in some countries it is sold under the brand name Orajel, basically what it is; a topical benzocaine liquid which naturally numbs the pain. It's available in almost any drugstore and is really inexpensive. It is good for any kind of mouth pain, toothaches, etc. Its effects are short-lived so you may need to rub a few drops on your gums several times during a day. Always follow the package instructions.

The technology has changed a lot since you had braces.  For one, they don't use dinosaur bones anymore.

You can learn everything from us tykes.  Except how to program the clock on your VCR.  That's too old school for us.
