Do canine teeth take longer to move and how much pain is expected?

Q. I am 33 years old and I have 8 months that I got braces . My doctor told me that in 1 and half year my teeth should be corrected. My concern is that all my teeth are moving, EXCEPT MY UPPER CANINE TEETH ( the upper canine teeth are littlle bit up but not extremely high ) however i haven’t seen yet at least a little bit of improvement on my teeth that are moving. . another extra concern is when i have the rubber bands of my brances changed i never feel the typical pressure and not pain at all comparing as the first time i got the braces, every time i got the braces’ rubber changed i never feel the pressure or pain. is that normal? TWO QUESTIONS: do canine teeth take longer to move down than the rest of teeth? should i feel pain and pressure on my teeth everytime i have the rubber band of my braces changed? how long is estimated in my age to have the teeth corrected with braces?? Please advice,
A. The canine teeth do take longer to move, the braces normally take at least 18 months to work completely
