While the usual time for wearing them is one to two weeks, it really depends your orthodontist's diagnosis, and what he or she believes is the right amount of time to get the desired result. The actual name for spacers is "orthodontic separators," and while they can sometimes be painful or annoying, they are known for getting excellent results.

How long do spacers stay on?

DO NOT WORRY AT ALL!! spacers only stay on for 3-4 days, then come the braces. for some people spacers stay on for 1 week, depending on your dental situation...i recommend some pain relievers because the day after your spacers, it will hurt like hell!! it can also last up to 2 weeks..but that is only if your teeth are extremely crammed together.....GOOD LUCK! And once again its USUALLY ONLY A FEW DAYS!!
