See with braces ... does every one have to have spacers put on before hand or is it just some people?
Question:
Answers:
Everyone needs them.
The spacers make sure that the braces dont hurt when they're put it. They're only little rubber spacers & they don't hurt but they feel a bit weird at first. If braces were put straight in without using spacers, the metal would be painful as it forces the teeth apart slightly
I got them on for fixed braces , maybe you are getting removable braces
You have to get spacers put in because you are getting a bite plate, they suck, but you get used to them.
I would recommend getting a permanant one so you wont take it off and lose it, It is not really permanant, they can still take it off.
I think it depends on the person and the structure of the mouth. Hopefully you won't need them. They were a pain in the a** and I could hardly stop myself from picking them out!
not everyone needs it, but it all depends on the way youre teeth are structured - it also depends on how the approach you're orthodontist wants to take
The spacers are put on to help it feel more comfortable when the metal bands are put on as you need a space between the teeth so that the band can fit on. If you have spaces in your teet and the spacers do not stay in then they will not be put in,they are uncomfortable to start with but in the long run it will make things more comfortable for you.
it depends on what type of brace u get, u can get the ones with spacers that u cant take out or the ones u can take out that have a plate
No, not everyone needs spacers. I got spacers because the two teeth in the back didnt have room for the rings to be put in. On the other hand, my brother got braces but didnt need spacers because he already had the space. So its better to ask your orthodontist. But dont worry, the only problem i had with spacers was they were annoying. They hurt if you eat with them but its not that bad because i just ate with my front teeth. Braces were the problem for me. They hurt all over so you couldnt eat anything except soft stuff. So my answer to your question is it depends. Good Luck! :-)
it depends because im getting my braces in 2 weeks and I did not get spacers
spacers are tiny elastic bands that are placed inbetween the teeth this allows the gaps inbetween your teeth to increase, i had to have them because my teeth were quite close together and crowded.
These spaces help the bace to move the teeth without griding against other teeth.
if your teeth are not straight but have enough room to move adequatly you will not need spacers.
this is good news as it will take less time and be less uncomfortable.
Good luck with your orthodontics. xx
It just depends I have them and they never put anything like that in.
Most people with train-track braces have them but it all depends on the treatment cause they're are alot of treatments like the removable one or a head gear or the common one.
Ask your orthodontist and look it up on the internet.
Good luck
Just depends on the type of mis-alignment that you have. i wore braces, but no spacers. just the wiring and anchors. then theres retainers. nothing else. you might have spacers if your teeth are very overlapping or thet you have a small asymmetrical jaw shape.
just wing it
i haev braces and yes, i got spacers put on before my braces, as does everyone.
teh reason, the thing used to hold the wire that runs through the brackets, needs somewhere to be put, so they put a big silver piece that caps your hole back teeth. they put the spacers in tehre so that when they put that cap on, your teeth are already sepeerated and they don't have to jam something into your teeth.
good luck with your braces : / they reallyy do stinkk
