I got spacers on Wensday and its now Friday. Spacers dont hurt like the first hour. That night it really hurt i..I kept waking up in the middle of the night with a pain and soreness. The second day was just as bad i couldnt eat hardly anything i even had trouble eating mashed potatoes. Todays the third day and i felt pain this morning as i woke up, when i had lunch i was able to eat mac and chesse without much pain. I got Peroxyl mouth wash and that really seemed to help ease the pain. I had dinner a while ago and i really didnt have that much pain, even though i had soup. But now i just feal just a little discomfort but nothing big i am able to eat alot more types of foods with the left side of my mouth now..And the pain is not even close to what i had the first two days. But i recommand the Peroxyl mouth wash it does ease the pain for a while.
Reply:Take lots of Tylenol. Try ice. My sympathies. Is it for braces?
Reply:you'll eventually get used to them but until then eat ice cream. it helps a bunch.
Reply:i had spacers too. what i did was....





1) i sucked on ice cubes


2) i ate lots of mashed potatoes, and jello


3) take lots of pain medicine......





don't worry the pain we lessen in a few days...GOODLUCK!!!
Reply:SORRY HUN PAIN IS BEAUTY . The most i woulde advise is soup andvery soft food mashes taters and mac and cheese. This is only the beginning if your geting braces but babe totally worth it. Suck it up lol after a while its just a nusence. try orajel that will help for a while . or naps naps always tAKE SOME TIME OFF THE PAIN. it will only last a couple of days hang in there!!!
Reply:If you getting more pain than you think you should ring you dentist and ask for advice. S/He may loosen them if they are too tight or you may be given stronger pain control.
Reply:hey i have them in to as we speak ok but i took liquid motrin all that was laying around and then i tried sort of repositioning them with a piece of tweezer then after i felt better =] i went and layed down took a nap got up and they didnt hurt
Reply:Yes it does!! I had 2 have them I ate ALL soft food! A lot of sorbet %26amp; ice cream! Took a lot of ibprofen! It is better than tylenol cause it helps better with inflamation!! Use a lot or maximum strength oragel! It taste like crap but it works! It be over soon hang in!
Reply:wow.


i remember spacers.


they were horrible for me too.


take ibuprofen, it works better.


and try to sleep a lot.


basically i lived on the couch for a week.


i had lots of problems too.


and after a while if your front teeth aren't


sore anymore just chew with them.


i know you may look stupid but you'll get


sick of soup, trust me.


good luck!
