If you mean spacers for braces... then it's not that big of a deal. It just helps separates teeth so a bracket could fit in. It might hurt... but it didn't hurt for me. I couldn't even feel it. You might want to avoid sticky foods because the spacers can get stuck and it might come out. You only have to wear them for a week or two. At least I did.

I can't show you any pics, sorry.

the spacers are really not that bad. they hurt terribly at first but its not bad. it causes you not to eat like anything chewy or gum. i dont have a picture but it is like a really tiny rubber band between the teeth. you need floss to replace one if it falls out though!=]] take two pieces of floss and make to wear you can pull the spacer apart using the flosses to put it back in... i hope i helped (just a lil bit!!)

it hurts like a ***** at first. they make you bite down real hard.
they don't make you sore until the next day. it's impossible to eat unless it's pudding or something like that. it's a general idea of braces pretty much.
you don't need to go back once a month or anything like that but there has to be a key where someone puts it in a hole then they turn it [the number & amount varies.]
& you can't eat what you eat with braces on. listen to it for the first couple of weeks then just ignore it. nothing bad happens to them.

here's a picture

i've had mine in since august 31st & i get them out thursday :)

ok spacers are little rubber bands that go around your teeth and the do hurt sometimes. but if you take an advil then your spacers wont hurt as much. just make sure its ok with your parents/guardians.
you can eat anything you want ! gum and chewy foods may not be the smartest thing to eat because they can do something to the spacers so i wouldnt eat those but you can eat basically anything else.
i do not have pics but they do feel like something is in between your teeth for a little bit. but then you will get used to it and you wont feel them as much.

good luck with your braces =)
