My spacers broke...?!
Question:
My spacers broke...?
Okay, the orthodontist put little spacers between eight of my teeth, and four have broken. He gave me a few spare ones and told me to replace them if I accidentally floss it out and let it float down the drain or something.
Do I need to replace these things with the ones he gave me? Oh, and I do know how, he demonstrated for me. And the broken ones are still where he placed them...they're just split in half.
Answers:
yes, you should floss out the old pieces and put in the new ones. doesn't sound like fun, i know, but you have to do it.
