I know i only had one tooth that needed spacers, I do not see how some of you guys handle so many spacers! I was literally climbing the wall the first night I had 2 spacers!!

Spacers were the WORST!!!!
For the person who said it didn't hurt much - perhaps your teeth were not that crowded when it was put in? I think mine hurt so badly because they were SO jammed together, there was nowhere for the teeth to go. Plus, after the teeth did move, the spacers irritated my gums a lot.[/quote]

I'm the one thats saying that spacers don't hurt. Yes it hurt for a few seconds when they first put it in but after that there was no pain there after. I still have the spacer in and its lose in between the two teeth so I'm sure it will fall out within a week or whatever and I was told to keep it in there for two weeks I don't think that will happen.

Well today 10-October-2006 I was eating chicken and the thing I woulden't think that would happen is that my spacer came out. Why would I only have spacers in for 3 days and the spacer would come out while eating chicken. Well I ended up stuffing the spacer back in and I'm sure its in there properly now cause I'm now feeling slight pain in that area where the spacer is back in at.

Before they put in my quadhelix I had 2 spacers on the right and one on the left. They were very painful for me and even caused headaches. I was a bad bad BAD girl.... I took needle nose pliers and pulled my first set of spacers out lol I'm on a medication called Midrin for headaches and even those pills wouldn't help the headache the spacers caused. The second set I kept in like a good girl for 4 days then they put my quadhelix in. I tip my hat to anyone who has had spacers and had no pain.

spacers
I'm glad most people complain too.
I have 6 spacers in. 1 fell out (with help) Wednesday morning. They are not replacing it until Monday.
So I"m living with 5 spacers. I have a headache that I can't get rid of also. I'm doing all this to keep my TMJ functional as I age.
I get fitted for the RPE on Tuesday and get it placed 10/31. That will be 2 weeks later, do you think they will put the spacers back in?
BTW I also have a broken leg. My son asked why I'd have the spacers now, I told him so I wouldn't be grumpy for as long.
