I've had my spacers for about 3 days now. It's starting to become bearable. I'm still having a difficult time eating. I can't wait to get them out but then again I know I'll be experiencing a different kind of sore from braces. I'll have them on for 2.5 yrs. I do have question about jaw clicking, I heard that braces could worsen it. It that true?

I cannot wait to get this spacers out! One more day and a wake up before I get braces. It doesn't hurt as much anymore, it's just messing up with my bite.

Hey! I got mine spacers 15 days ago. And it doesnt hurt at all after the first 5 days. I still have 15 days to go before the braces. And its annoying how much the bite alters everyday, it feels so strange and is very uncomfortable to eat now aswell. I have problems with jaw clicking aswell due to grinding and clenching of my teeth. I have done alot of research and for some the braces made it worse and for some it got better when the bite was corrected. You need to tell your orthodontist to be careful with your jaw while putting braces or making tooth extractions and give it rest under the procedure. I am so nervous, getting 4 toothextractions in a week.
