Answers:
If your teeth are close together, and not gappy, you may have spacers put on.
Although, in my experience, they don't start any treatment until the second or third appointment.Health Question & Answer

You usually get your spacers on the second appointment. I got mine Thursday. They suck! I got 8 and one fell out today! I get my braces on October 9 and I'll be happy to get these spacers out. For the pain you might want some Advil or any kind of Ibuprofen. The reason you want that and not Tylenol is because Tylenol does not work as good for those sorts of things. The pain usually kicks in a few hours to the next day from the spacers being put in. You will probably have to wait a week to two weeks with the spacers in to get your braces. You get your braces tightened every month and that hurts, but you also get to chose a new color. I'm going to get metallic blue and metallic green in a pattern. They have a lot of different colors. When you're getting your spacers, the imprints of your mouth they have to take suck. The first one is usually wax and it's not that bad. Then, you get a HUGE thing filled with gross tasting pink stuff. They put one on the bottom and then let it sit. When they take it out try to get a paper towel and spit the left over crap out. Then they do the top and it's about the same scenario there too. All in all it's a rather weird experience. It will hurt to eat though so try pudding, yogurt, or other soft foods. Hope I helped! Good luck!Health Question & Answer
