Does it hurt to get spacers???

Question

im geting them august 1 and i herd it relly hurt im just wondering does it hurt when the otherdontist is putting them on pleace anser ♥kate

Answer 1

No it does not hurt when they put them on, but after that be ready to experience some pain because trust me it hurts like heck. It hurts to eat soup without any noodles. No doubt you will lose some weight during the time when you have spacers on. Eat while you can, consider yourself lucky.

Answer 2

I had spacers (blue rubber band things put on) and i know this isnt the best advice you can give, but to me, it was sore and achy for a while after my dentist put them in, but then i forgot about them after a few hours - until i started eating. when i ate, i could feel the spacers. To answer your question, it does NOT hurt, it just feels sore and achy for a while.

Answer 3

It hurt a bit to have them put in...that is just because she really dug them in deep. Wasn't too bad, though. Just felt uncomfortable that evening, didn't start aching until the next day. It hurt so bad on Wednesday and Thursday (got them Tuesday), but then it felt so much better Friday. Today it hurt on and off, but I think I am going to make it! Only 3 more days, then they come out :) good luck!

Just take aspirin or any other type of pain reliever. Also, suck on an ice pop and EAT ICE CREAM!! :) best part! Just be careful, chocolate chunks in the ice cream can get stuck back there. And make sure you brush, brush, brush!! It may hurt, but it is so important because food gathers back around the spacers. Also, brushing your teeth shouldn't cause them to come out.
