Used to vs Be
used to vs Get used to

Used to + verb is employed to talk about a situation or events as they
were quite a long time ago. Whatever is described is no longer the case.
He used to live in Amsterdam but now he has
his own house in Leiden.
-
The pattern (be + used to or get+ used to)
+ (noune phrase or verb + ing) refer to a situation
which is no longer strange or which somebody accustomed to
-
If this process is still taking place we use getting.
