One of my spacers just fell out a couple of minutes ago and my appointment to actually get my braces on...

Question

is at 10 AM tomorrow. Is this a bad thing. should I be concerned about anything? What should I do???

Answer 1

Since your appointment is so soon, you should be fine.  But teeth can move quickly.  If you still have the spacer, thread some floss through it and floss your teeth with it...that's how they place them!  Super easy.  You should be fine, though.  

Answer 2

I pulled out one of my spacers(hurt too much) 2 weeks before they put the metal thing on my molars and it was okay, but it hurt a little more then the other three teeth, but that was two weeks, a few hours wont make a difference. BTW, if your scared to get your braces don't be. It doesn't hurt when you first get them on, just a little pressure from the wire pulling your teeth.

Answer 4

i got braces 3 days ago. i swallowed one spacer that was loose the nigh before i got them and them the next day i took another off cuz it was loose, and annoying me. i told my ortho and she said it was okay. that means that there is already enough space for your braces. good luck! dont worry.

Answer 5

It's okay. My spacers fell out before but it was okay. They were still able to put the ring on my molar.
