Spacers question???
Yesterday was my first ortho appointment... He did all the molds and x-rays and pics. and put in spacers... The spacers make my teeth really sore... and they almost feel loose... is this right???
Spacers seem to be reported on here as the most uncomfortable part of the whole braces experience, and I have to agree. They are pushing your teeth slightly apart to make room for the molar bands, and that can be uncomfortable.
I found that the worst discomfort passed in about 3 days, I guess the teeth had moved by that time.
It'll get better honestly, hang in there!

Well I just got 8 spacers put into my back teeth iIthink three days ago and one already popped out 3 hrs after I left because it wasen't put into my mouth right it was feeling loose so I had to call my orthodontist . I think they also feel loose when they pop out because the tooth may be getting ready. All I can say is stick in there. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
