Does everyone who has braces have to get spacers?
and why? can someone tell me the reasons too why they had to or didn't have to get spacers? I'm getting 4 wisdom teeth out in 2 week 2 are impacted and because they have pushed my teeth, the dentist says i need to get braces! Any answers would be great, i'm really scared of pain and i heard so many horror stories of teeth extraction and spacers so please share your stories with me to ease my mind!
Answers:
I did. Well you need spacers. They are tiny little rubberbands placed between your back molars. They create space for the brackets when you get your braces. You keep them in for about 1 week. It hurts a little. Good luck!
Only if their teeth are overlapping or too close to each other.
i had braces and also had my wisdom teeth removed.the worst part and most painful is definitely the spacers.you cant eat a thing with those in.i had them in for about 2 weeks and went on the slim fast diet because it hurt too much to chew.braces arent bad.after a while you dont even notice theyre there (untill the day you go in to get them tightend). when you do get your braces off.choose the permanent retainer because if you ge he one you take out.youll never wear it and your teeth will go back to the position they were in before and all that money will go to waste
You will only need to have spacers if you are getting bands on your teeth (not just brackets) some orthodontists use bands and some don't so it will depend on who does your treatment. They are just really uncomfortable, so don't stress if end up having to have them.
My orthodontist gave me bands but no spacers. I don't know why i didn't have to get spacers but the bands hurt a lot. Pulling out my wisdom teeth didn't hurt
