Getting Seperators/spacers, Will It…?

By Orthodontics Editor, on July 10th, 2009

I believe I’m getting my separators tomorrow for my appointment. I’ve heard different stories… Some say it doesn’t hurt right when they insert it but will after a while… Others say it hurts right at the moment…
There are so many stories I don’t know what to expect for myself. Will they hurt when they put it in or just after a while like a couple of hours..?
I’m getting ceramic braces, my bottom is perfectly straight and my top is barely crooked. But still I have to get both top & bottom supposedly because of the outcome alignment. I will be getting invisalign for my retainers and this is all for $2000 because my dad knows the orthodontist.
I was originally suppose to pull out 4 teeth but decided not too b/c I would only end up with 26 including pulling out my wisdom teeth when I get older.

  When they first put them in, you could feel a little bit of pressure, but it was bearable, but after a while the will begin to hurt. Take a lot of advil and try to sleep off the pain. Good luck

  the spacers arent too bad. you will feel a little soreness, but, to tell the truth, nothing compared to getting the actual braces. the spacer is really only a little rubberband that they stick between your molars. once in, they will feel like food stuck in your teeth.
