No, spacers in your teeth don't hurt at all and if they do, they will go away in a few minutes. While spacers are being put in your teeth it feels like someones pulling your teeth out. But that really does not hurt, it may hurt a few seconds but it go away as fast as you can say ouch. You will have to get used to the way it feel and that only takes a few minutes and you wont even know they are there! After a few hours it feels a little weird because it means that they are separating your teeth and it doesn't hurt much but just a tiny bit.
Before I got my spacers in my mouth i had to get little rubber bands in between my molars to create space for the spacers . And those hurt terribly . getting braces hurts and getting them tightened hurts. idk yet about the actual spacers cus i haven't got them in my mouth yet. but my best suggestion to you is take Tylenol because your gonna need it !
it is definitely not as bad as getting teeth pulled out spacers don't hurt
use some Tylenol
No spacers don't hurt your teeth. When they put them on, in feels sorta wierd but doesnt hurt. When the spacers separate your teeth it hurts a tiny bit but the goes away in a few more days Done by, Kulsoom
Spacers actually kindove hurt!! It might not seem like it but its so painful! The reason why spacers hurt is because they are spacing out our teeth, if one of your spacers was hard to get in, then you know its really gonna hurt!! You should take advil or suck on a ice cube to numb your jaw- MAKE SURE NOT TO BITE THE ICE CUBE or its gonna kill! If your spacer still hurts put an ice pack on your cheek or if your at school go to the nurse and they might have a better way to help.
They just use a dental pick to pluck them out. Then they let you brush your teeth and they put the bands on your molars. Doesn't hurt at all. :]

Don't worry, I have had spacers before. They don't hurt they just feel very weird, because your teeth arn't used of it. My ortho. also said everyone is different some people will the the pain, and other won't. Good luck
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, Nicole 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. Lilly
With spacers, you can floss normally, but defonatly DO NOT floss between the teeth that you have spacers in , because they will be fulled out and then you will have to get them replaced again. Just wait until they have been taken out to floss between those teeth.
Dental spacers can be removed once the teeth for which the dental spacers were placed have sufficiently erupted into the spaces provided by the spacers. Your dentist or orthodontist can tell you if this has occurred.
yes
They are little flossed chips that are put in between your teeth that need spacing. They connect with a wire bracket across the roof of your mouth....or below. Spacers are the worst part of the whole process in getting braces. They will hurt for about 6 hours after they are put in.

braces dont hurt when you first get them on, they start hurting when your trying to sleep & the day after, & spacers hurt they are way more painful then braces it feels like a piece of meats stuck on your teeth when you have spacers braces, bother you & feel uncomfortable for the first few days, dont eat anythang hard crunchy, eat oatmeal mashpatatoes, & noodles & stuff ice cream, & dont chew ice your teeth will be verry tense (sore),
