and do they go down to your gums and bother them???
Answers:
There is an instrument that looks kind of like a fork. You put the spacer around the end and stretch it out. Then you just kind of work it inbetween the teeth like floss. It's super easy! It feels weird and it may make you sore because it will start moving your teeth right away but you can just take tylenol for that. I do it almost everyday!
Don't worry!
