Answer #1

They need to make room to fit the bands over your back teeth, thats why they put spacers on you. I had em last fall. Little light blue rubber band things. Sometimes they use metal springy things. I had one of those too, lol! The day you get your braces or expander or whatever there doing is when it will stop hurting. Take tylenol and deal. If they fall out call your guy. Otherwise you will go thru the same thing all over again. Good luck! Braces are kinda cool! I like mine

Answer #2

The only use for spacers that I know of is preparing your teeth for braces. They space your teeth out enough to put the braces on and get your teeth where they need to be. I had braces when I was younger and I know how painful they are :( The pain will subside in a few days, but in the meantime use Tylenol or Advil.
