Why do spacers not hurt?

Spacers are tiny rubber bands that fit in between your teeth for edging.

Edging is a silver thing that wrapes around your teeth.

You have to keep spacers in for about 1 week and then you willl have then takes out by your dentist ONLY.

If you take theses things out they hurt even worse than when u first got them put in, so just be patient and wait for your dentist to take them out.

Dont be worried if you are to get spacers. In fact i have them in right now i had gotten them in 3 days ago and on March 5th im going to my dentist to get the spacers taken out and braces and edging put in.

i delt with the pain and after a day or 2 the pain definetly goes away, dont be worried

Good Luck,

I got spacers and they didn't really hurt until the next day... take an advil and it wont be that bad. But it hurts to eat so eat ice cream and stuff like that. It stays like that for 2 to 4 days. Spacers hurt more than braces do though.
