I'm getting spacers today. Do they hurt?

Question

Im gettoing them today then braces are they going to hurt?

Answer 1

The spacers them selves don't hurt, it feels more like something stuck in between your teeth that you can't remove.  The second day your teeth may be sore, use Advil or Motrin for the discomfort and eat and drink lots of ice cold things to help ease the soreness.  You will get through it in no time!  Congrats on getting your braces soon!  You are going to have a beautiful new smile soon!

Answer 2

For me they hurt. When they first put them in you think, Is that it??? It seriously takes like a minute. There is no pain right away but by the second day, your mouth will be soar. I got really cranky because not only was my mouth soar, you also know that in a couple days, you'll be having the braces put on which you know won't be fun. Take some ibuprofen. It will help but be prepared for an achy jaw for the next couple days. good luck!

Answer 3

No, spacers do not hurt at all. After they put it in it feels like something is stuck between your teeth. It may be a little irritating the first few days, but then you will get use to it. Hope this helps!!

Answer 4

It depends on if you can handle pain. They feel like pressure going in. Afterwards they don't hurt but over the next 4 days they will start to bother you and hurt

Answer 5

Yeah. They hurt. Sorry, but it's true- I mean, it's forcing this ring in between teeth that are tightly stuck together. But luckily they take them out after a while and you get the braces instead... not so luckily XD

Good luck!

Answer 6

They don't hurt at all. If your teeth are closed really close together there might be some discomfort. It feels like you have something stuck in between your teeth. Nothing compared to braces.
