How do I make spacers less painful?

Question

I have spacers on the top and bottom and they hurt pretty badly. I also have top braces and that is probably why the top hurt, but how can i make it less painful? Can i like drink shakes or something to like numb them, or what? [i just got them yesterday]

Answer 1

You could take some Tylenol or some other pain reliever. Also, if you have ice pop molds, you could fill them with water and try to numb your mouth a bit with the ice pops. This doesn't really work well with real popsicles, because the sugar might cause cavities. Drinking cold water might help too, but not too much.

Answer 2

The pain will go away in a couple of days. Just take a pain killer and eat soft foods. Cold stuff might help. You'll get used to them.
