I dunno, my teeth were so painful when I was first braced that I didn't really chew anything for 3 months or so. Supposedly, chewing increases blood flow to the teeth and should relieve pain, but mine hurt too much to even try. You could try taking painkillers before you eat, personally I thought that was overkill when I could just as easily eat soft food.
Eitherway, it should eventually ease up and stop being painful. Just don't let anyway make you feel bad or guilt trip for not chewing while it hurts too much to chew!
