Why do spacers not hurt?

Answer 1

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.

Hey, 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

Answer 3

Spacers 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.

Answer 4

For some people, not at all. For others, it can feel sore. Taking Advil or Tylenol usually takes care of any pain.

yes, but its more of an itrritaing pain. Wheni had them it was like i had a piece of food stuck in between my teeth that i couldn't get out
