Question:
What should i do? i just got spacers!!?
i just got spacers on yesterday. I got 4 on the bottom because i'm just getting braces on the bottom first. I'm getting them on Friday. Well i've tried Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, and its helped a little, but not really. When i try 2 eat i can't even chew cuz there's so much pain. And i would eat just soft food but even when i ate like peanut butter it still hurt really bad. What should i do?
Answers:
Try something even softer than peanut butter. Foods like pudding, ice cream, soup ; things you don't necessarily have to chew in order to swallow.
Keep taking Ibuprofen or whatever else you have. You can also drink cold drinks to help out a bit. When I had spacers, I drank iced tea constantly.
You should know that they are going to hurt for a couple days. They will feel better very soon, and you'll be able to chew harder foods again. Otherwise, there isn't too much you can do. You just gotta take a deep breath and deal with it!
