Answers:
omg!.
i have them in right now!
mine are just lil rubberbands between the teeth!.
they expand your teeth in an area so the wire can squeeze through the gap when you get braces!.
they dont hurt at all!
they might be a bit uncomfortable, like a piece of popcorn between the teeth!. You also might want to pick at them!.
DONT DO IT!!!
you'll just have to go back and get them replaced!. and thats a hassle!. so just leave them alone!!
im getting braces today so thats how i know!.
good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

A spacer is an elastic piece of rubber which is placed in front and behind a molar in order to create space ( Naturally they are very tight even for a floss to pass through )
The space allows the orthodontist to place a band around the molar !. the space is usually created within 2 days to a week at the most !.

because creating space means teeth are moving , you may feel pain in the teeth in front of the molar to be placed a band around !. It is completely normal , in fact it means your treatment is progressing in a good way !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A spacer is just something they put in the top of your mouth to space out your teeth!.It is made out of metal!.It is to just get your mouth ready for the braces!.I guess your teeth are to close together so the spacer will space out your teeth because braces don't space them out they just put you teeth the way they are supposed to be!.Then after they put it in your mouth you can barely feel it!.Then during it probably hurts a little but not muchWww@Answer-Health@Com

tiny strip of rubber that they put inbetween your teeth to make them move farther apart!. probably so they can put bands on your back teeth if you are getting braces!. what they do is they stretch out the band of rubber until it is thin enough to fit between you teeth and then they place it and let go!. having them put in doesn't really hurt but afterward when your teeth are moving it will hurt!. make sure you don't chew ontop of them though or they could break or get pulled out and they would have to put another set on!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A spacer is just a piece of plastic they put between your back teeth to sort of move the teeth a little bit so they can put your braces brackets on!.

It doesn't hurt, but it is kind of annoying, like food stuck between your teeth!.

Your teeth might ache a little after a while, because your teeth will be moving!. Just take some Tylenol and you'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I had spacers it was just a tiny little rubber band that they put in between my teeth!. You feel it the first day then you get used to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
