Spacers

Spacers?????

i am getting "spacers" next thusday but i wanted to know what are spacers and what do they do?

Other Answers:

Spacers are small donut-shaped rubber bands that fit in the middle of your back mollers which create, obviously, space in between them. When your braces get on, they will be putting a metal bracket on the back of your teeth, and you need space in between them for the metal to fit well.

When they apply the spacers, that's the end of your gum-chewing, sticky candy-eating ways, because if your spacers fall out, depending on your doctor, you may have to wait an entire week before getting your braces on.

Other than that, they sometimes feel as if something is stuck in your teeth. Nonetheless, they're not a big deal.

Good luck!

Spacers are little tiny rings that the dentist puts in between your teeth to make a small space. They are generally used before someone gets braces put on. They use the spacers so there is enough room to put the band around the back teeth.

they are little elastics they stick in between your teeth to make space for the bands for braces

its a rubber band shoved in between your teeth in order to make room for the metal bands that hold the wires in =]
they're not bad trust me
