hey (=
don't worry i had to get four actually five of my teeth taken out,
that seems like an insane amount of stuff, but u'll get used to them..dont wrry..it's going to be sore and ur gonna feel like sh!t but it seriously is worth it.
spacers i dont know much about other than my friend got them and she said that they're there so that the teeth dont move bak..she had a hard time eating but that only lasted 2 days...ok here's what i do every time i get my braces tightened
1)take Advil before u go (it helps...trust me)
2)try not to bite down reaalllyy hard..(that only causes more pain and ur gonna feel worse)
3)eat soft foods (soup, jello, pudding,pasta)
4)dont think about it..(the more u think about it the more its gonna hurt and the crappier ur gonna feel
i hope i helped (=
P.S i still have my braces....
DON'T STRESS !!! If you need them, you need them. There's NOTHING you can do about it. Just think about how nice you'll look and feel when it's all over.
That's what's kept me going all the way through my treatment!
I'm even hoping to do some modeling afterward ...
