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.

∙ 12y agoHey, well this is my 1st whole day with spacers! They hurt like heck!! My orthodontist said that they would feel like a tooth acke but is is about 10 times more pain!!! Today at school i had fries and a hot dog. They were SO good but not the food to eat with spacers. My teeth could not stop hurting after i ate that!!! well cold water helps with the pain a little but is good enough. i hope this helped with what you are going through

∙ 13y agoSpacers do hurt...they spread your teeth apart. But, think about it your teeth aren't spread apart yet so dont you think it would hurt in the beginning of the process when they have to push the spacers between your teeth.

Do spacers hurt more the day after?
yes
Do spacers hurt to get put in?
My son told they hurt a little bit at the beginning. Then you just get used to them
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!
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?
Spacers actually kindove hurt!! It might not seem like it but its so painful! The reason why spacers hurt is because they are spacing out our teeth, if one of your spacers was hard to get in, then you know its really gonna hurt!! You should take advil or suck on a ice cube to numb your jaw- MAKE SURE NOT TO BITE THE ICE CUBE or its gonna kill! If your spacer still hurts put an ice pack on your cheek or if your at school go to the nurse and they might have a better way to help.
IS there a way to make your teeth not hurt with spacers?
use some Tylenol
Does it hurt when the orthodontist takes your spacers out?
No, it doesn't hurt to put them in or take them out. However it might be uncomfortable to eat while they are in.
Why does it hurt when you bite down with spacers?
no, it will when you first get them in, but it will get better(: (i've had braces on for 3yrs)
What does it feel like when getting spacers put on?
It feels like you have meat in between your molars but it doesn't hurt that bad but it depends how you are in pain. If you are a person that can deal with pain then it probably will not hurt but if you cannot handle pain then it will hurt.WARNING: DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE PAIN! IT WILL HURT 10x MORE!PS. I have had spacers and braces and I will say the braces hurt worse. Good Luck :)
Do braces hurt more then spacers?
Don't worry, I have had spacers before. They don't hurt they just feel very weird, because your teeth arn't used of it. My ortho. also said everyone is different some people will the the pain, and other won't. Good luck
Does putting a dentistry spacer hurt?
NO.... its just a slight pressure and that's it.... spacers hurt more than braces though... put putting them in is nothing.
Would it hurt to yank your spacer out?
I would say yes because it hurts for me to even chew my spacers.
