Been there, done that and hated spacers.

Just reading your posts brings back the memory of those evil little guys. I hated spacers big time and they hurt me both times. I had the sevens banded after the sixes and yes they made me want to pull my hair out both times. They hurt the minute they put them in and made me have dreams that someone was pulling out all my teeth. It hurt for about 5 days and then was just a pain getting food stuck in the spaces.
That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.

I will have my third---that's right---third, set of spacers placed in May. The first time they sucked for a week. The second time the sucked for a few days. I'm hoping they don't suck at all this time.
