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.

Can you wear spacers and braces at the same time?
Well I believe you do have to get spacers before braces. The spacers are used to separate, or space out, the teeth. Where these spacers are, the bands for your braces will go.I didn't have to get spacers before my braces.Some people do some people don't my friend she did not have to get spacers only braces.
What does a orthodontic spacer look like?
Spacers look like blue/ purple mini rubber bands stuck in a place for braces.... Almost everyone has to get spacers before braces
Spacers and how to remove them?
Spacers are the rubber bands that your orthodonist might put in between your teeth before about 2-3 weeks before you get braces. They are usually baby blue. It's kind of like getting braces. They hurt the first day or two, but the pain eventually fades away. Before getting braces, your orthodonist will remove your spacers with a scissor/tweezer like device before adding your braces. Hope that I helped(:

Why are spacers put on?
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
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.
What are the steps that an orthodontists takes to put in braces?
Usually will make a mould of your mouth top and bottom. Then a week before your appointment to get braces he will put spacers in which are little bands that go in between your teeth. A week later he will put the braces in. That's mine and my friends experiences although i didn't have any extractions so I missed that bit out. Sekhmet
Which are worse spacers aka separators or braces?
braces are way worse! spacers only cause mild pain on the teeth they are touching. braces cause pain on all your teeth; plus, it will take weeks if not months for your gums & cheeks to get used to the braces. with braces, every time you bump your mouth for the first few months- blood & sores! it is very painful!! spacers just feel like a big chunk of dental floss is stuck between your teeth! nothing you can't handle. braces are an entirely different story!
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)
Why do you need to have seperators in your teeth before you get braces?
It depends on if your braces require a metal band or not on the back teeth. I didn't get them at first, but my back brackets kept falling off, so they put spacers in and a week later they put in metal bands. It really depends on the orthodontist.
