I had two impacted wisdom teeth removed, and was knocked out for it, but still had swollen jaws for 3-4 days afterward. I remember having this "turkey baster" syringe that I had to use to rinse out the empty sockets with Betadine. Fortunately, I never experienced any pain at any time during the whole deal.

Then I got braces a few months later, and had to deal with 3 years of day-after-tightening pain and "distal ends". I was a wax junkie.

I am ready to take all the thick rubber bands that I was issued, make them into a chain, make that chain into a noose and strangle my orthodontist.
