Gosh darn it, I just got spacers this morning and they are KILLIN me!!!!!! Anybody else ever had them before? And if you have do the spacers hurt worse than the actual braces or are the braces even worse? I'm gettin the braces put on in 2 weeks, one week before my 16th birthday  At least I can look forward to losin a couple pounds because I absolutely cannot chew anything so I'll prolly be living on smoothies for the next few days...well there's not really any point to this post besides to try to take my mind off my mouth, but any advice would be appreciated!! |

ouchies; I've had spacers. Honestly, I think braces are at least as bad, but only the first couple days, and when they get tightened!

Haha no way. I got spacers 6 days ago. The felt fine the first day, but I woke up the second day in extreme pain. Massaging the gums helps, and brush often. I also drank away the pain one night, but that only helps for a short time.
I just got braces today, and I couldn't tell you what hurts more yet. I'll get back to you tomorrow.

spacers feel worse when you don't already have braces.
you'll get used to it. the first like three days i had braces i couldn't eat anything. and we had buffalo wings! i got mine like four days after christmas, December 29th, and for newyears we ALWAYS had wings
and i wasn't about to miss them.

for me, spacers were much worse than the actual braces. i got my braces taken off around four months ago. and honestly i want my braces back. i feel naked without them. but the only thing that truly hurt me when i got my braces were if the orthodontists didn't cut a wire short enough and i ended up having to put wax on the wire to keep from cutting a hole in my cheek. other than that, they were fine. getting them tightened only hurt for a day and the rubber bands only hurt when they were in.
