Hi,
That pain is quite normal due the forces exerted by the orthodontic wires. It's because of the teeth being pushed against the bone. That slight amount of pain may persist till the bone is remodelled.
Health Tips
if the pain becomes unbearable, consult your orthodontist

Slight pressure is applied for orthodontic treatment so it’s ok for some pain. If more you can take an anti inflammatory tablet
