No, it doesn't hurt to put them in or take them out. However it might be uncomfortable to eat while they are in.

Do spacers in the teeth hurt?
No, spacers in your teeth don't hurt at all and if they do, they will go away in a few minutes. While spacers are being put in your teeth it feels like someones pulling your teeth out. But that really does not hurt, it may hurt a few seconds but it go away as fast as you can say ouch. You will have to get used to the way it feel and that only takes a few minutes and you wont even know they are there! After a few hours it feels a little weird because it means that they are separating your teeth and it doesn't hurt much but just a tiny bit. Before I got my spacers in my mouth i had to get little rubber bands in between my molars to create space for the spacers . And those hurt terribly . getting braces hurts and getting them tightened hurts. idk yet about the actual spacers cus i haven't got them in my mouth yet. but my best suggestion to you is take Tylenol because your gonna need it !
Do spacers hurt more the day after?
yes
Does in hurt when you put spacers in your ear?
Take an ibuprophen before the appointment and you should be fine. It is kind of like a headache. While the orthodontist or nurse is putting in spacers it will not hurt. A day or so later a tooth may start to hurt. Just take an Advil or Motrin and the pain will go down. When the spacers come out, your mouth may be sore. If you need, take another Advil or Motrin. This person is wrong. It starts hurting a few hours after the spacers and you can't eat for a while. It's tolerable, but not fun.
Who works in the orthodontist office?
an orthodontist. my orthodontist has other employees putting on the braces and putting in spacers and taking pictures of your teeth and all that stuff. the orthodontist sees if you have an overbite or an underbite and if you need a retainer or bite plate and sees what teeth you need to lose before you can get braces.

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, Nicole 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. Lilly
How long does spacers hurt for?
When i got spacers they didn't hurt till night (the first night) they hurt REALLY bad, the second day they hurt a little bit, but my dentist said the more you chew the better they fell& to take Advil. Then for me the stop-ed hurting!
When do you know if you have to put spacers for braces?
I am 15 and I wear braces so I know what they are for and when you should get them. You only need them when the orthodontist has trouble attaching the back part of the braces onto your molars. Spacers push on the teeth to make room for this device.
