they push your teeth apart in the back of your mouth before you get braces on. when you get braces put on, a metal circle thing(i cant think of what its called) wraps around your back teeth, it acts like an anchor. spacers help make room for that.

hope this helps

The metal thing that goes around your back teeth is called a band

The main reason for spacer, is for braces. They put them in between the back molars, to make space for the bands to hold the braces in place. Another reason is to get a palate expander, space maintainer (nance button) .

I got spacers yesterday, for a space maintainer, and i will be getting braces after.

Orthodontic separators are rubber bands or metal appliances used in orthodontics. Spacers are placed between the molars at the second orthodontic appointment, before molar bands are applied. Spacers are either circular rubber bands about centimeter in diameter placed between top and bottom molars; there may be 1-12 spacers applied the molars apart.

They are little flossed chips that are put in between your teeth that need spacing. They connect with a wire bracket across the roof of your mouth....or below.
