I had my spacers in for about 2 weeks before I had the impressions done for my RPE, then they were in for another couple of weeks whilst I waited for the RPE to be made at the lab and get back to my ortho. They hurt for the first few days each time, after the impressions I got bigger spacers (ouch!!) The RPE was easy after spacers!! :P

I kno how that was! They hurt for a while and your bite is probably going to be messed up during the whole process of the expander.... its poopy i kno lol but you wont even feel the spacersat least a week from now... Your mouth will get used to them and it will be like they arent even there!
