I got spacers and i am in pain???? TEETH?
I got braces 2 days ago and spacers on Monday.....hang in there...at least it is the weekend.....take tylenol....rest....don't think about....when you are doing something fun it will take your mind off of it....do that...reward yourself...also definitely eat soft foods for a couple of days...eat loads of icecream...hope this helps...good luck with braces...
Reply:I've got braces and had spacers too, and the horrible thing is there isn't much you can do =\ Definitely avoid hard foods - drink water a lot, and eat soup :] But as for the pain, I found it fun to massage my gums with my tongue; the pressure sort of eased the pain a bit. Sorry you've gotta experience this pain, lol. It'll get better, don't worry.
Reply:maybe you can try putting baby teething gell on your gums, sometimes it helps numb your mouth, but it's not very strong, so it may not work.
Reply:I just got spacers this morning mine arent bad you get used to it. try biting something or eating something cold. you could take advil tylenol or ibuprofen. I think Advil is the best for that kind of pain. keeping your mind off it some way is best... i got a plastic thing like a wax bite for my pain and i put water on it and froze it... it helps alot.
Reply:seriously suck it up. Everyone's teeth hurt when they have spacers, have the occasional panadol or advil but really its not that bad. just suck it up you only need them in for 1-2 weeks
Reply:i'm just about to get my braces off in 4 weeks, yay, but for me, spacers didn't hurt at all!!! The braces ( after a while ) hurt really bad. Eat lots of ice- cream, and try chewing on ice ( lol ) Oh and just try to think about how great and perfect your teeth will be once you get the braces off! Good luck! Oh and try not to touch the spacers with your tounge too much, it might irritate your gums.. Hope I helped!
