Since they told me not to worry if I lose any a few days prior to getting my braces, I "accidentally" lost the one that was particularly bothering me. Man, was it tough getting the anchor around that molar! They may be painful, but you sure need the space that they create!
OH Winnipeg! You are sneaky. I never thought of that.
Oh man, my spacers were awful. But hear this. They couldn't put regular spacers in my teeth (which were too tight). They had to force metal spacers in between my teeth. I will never forget that week.
I am so glad to know that I am not the only one htat hates the spacers. It hurt to even eat lettuce!!! I will hopefully have mine off by Wed of this week.
