Question:
ive had spacers for about 2 weeks now but last week my orthodonist took out my previous spacers and put new 1s in my back teeth (but only 2 on the top right & left) and next tuesday im going to get an expander so i had spacers inserterted there. but they also put metal bands on my back bottom teeth (which i think is where they connect the wire for the braces?) but i dont understand why they just left it like that. but mainly about the spacers, 1 of them came out and i was wondering if the space would close by next tuesday and will i be able to get get the expander fitted properly?
Answers:
no it's fine. the orthodontist should have told you that if the spacers fall out it'll be fine just as long as you dont take them out
A couple of mine popped out too. You should be fine.
My guess is, the ortho left them like that to make sure they're cemented properly. I wouldn't worry about the space falling out. If you've worn them for more then a week and a half you should be fine.
If you mean next tuesday as in 2 days from now, you should be fine. If you mean another week and 2 days, definitely go back. The space should not close enough in that amount of time to make a difference, but if you are that worried about it, you can call the office and they should be able to pull your records and let you know.
