Yes, they're for braces. They separate your teeth so the ortho can fit metal bands around your back molars (the metal bands hold the wire for the braces).

Yes they hurt, but only at first. Once you get used to them, you don't even know that they're there. Everything about braces will hurt at first: getting braces on, using elastics, even your retainer may hurt a little bit at first. But after using them all for a few days, you won't feel pain anymore.



they kill!!! im sorry but they do! i had two and it was hard to eat... maybe i was just overreacting tho... i cant stand pain. yea there for braces
