Spacers pain? please read for elaboration...

#1 Post by sarahtoors »

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I put on braces along with 4 spacers because I have to leave for somewhere in a short amount of time. Today, I started to have a dull ache on the bottom part of one of the molars in the upper arch that comes into contact with one of the spacers. I know spacers may cause some pain, but is it normal to have pain partially on the bottom side of only ONE of my teeth touching the spacer? The pain is only there if there is physical contact with it; otherwise, there is no pain and just a feeling of something between my teeth. This feeling only also applies to this ONE spacer...
