3 weeks of spacers?!??


Question: I have to keep my spacers on for three weeks.. and i've had them on for almost four days and they still hurt. i mean, most people say they should stop hurting after the first few days, but they haven't. do you have any advice?
Answers: If you are keeping spacers on for that amount of time, there is most likely more shifting that will be happening. I only had to wear mine for less than a week, and there was discomfort for sure, but nothing unbearable for me, but everyone is different. Just focus on the date when you get them off. I was ready because spacers made it harder to eat and caused more discomfort than the actual braces do.
