my braces spacers hurt

I got 6 spacers and at first I was ok I couldnt really eat but the next day one side of my mouth hurt like heck and my throat was bothering me after 3 days it moved to the other side of my mouth and throat. is that normal

Answer #1

I have been through spacers, pallet expanders, braces, and currently, retainers. I KNOW IT HURTS! Just push yourself through it. if it hurts, try some tyloniel. (sry, I cant spell) if it reallly hurts and you are worried somethings wrong, go back to the ortho and ask them.hope that helps!!! :) TALK TO ME 4 ANYTHING!!!

Answer #2

yea I had spacers like a month ago but they didnt hurt that much. they might not be down all the way and if so you should see your ortho. I pulled mine out with tweezers which I dont advise but you can use this cream that you put in your mouth to numb it. sorry hun itll hurt for a little while but it gets wayyy better

Answer #3

Yes it is normal I had braces to and the spacers hurt like hell, and mine hurt for a 5 days or more. I pretty much just ate a lot of soup. Hope you feel better soon!
