the "spacer between your teeth" is called an Occlusal Guard. It's an appliance that you wear, like a clear hard retainer, that will absorb the damage you are doing to your teeth.

Other than that it's impossible to say because treatment goes on a case by case basis.

I had the same problem, at Rite Aid go in the back of the store and you will find wax for braces and then you have to put it on your top and bottom teeth then you wont grind them and they wont fall out its just your worrying about them falling out but they wont.

they will put some kinda separator btw your teeth..to protect them..and depending on the condition of your teeth, you'll probably get them fixed.
