A question about Spacers(Making space for braces)?

Hi, i have 4 seperators in my teeth since last tuesday and i am getting my braces on in 3 days , as of yet none of them came out , Is this normal?

Answer:
They aren't supposed to come out, if they do more than a day before your banding appointment that's bad because the gap can close itself up again.

You're doing well :)

Mark who had two come out early and had to get them replaced...
Yes, the dentist will take them out himself. Their not suppose to come out on their own.
Well, when I had spacers in my teeth (about 8 years ago lol) they looked like little staples. They started off feeling really jammed in there.and after a couple days they started to feel loose. But none of mine ever came out. So in my opinion, it is normal for them to stay in there pretty well. Hope that helps you..
The spacers are not meant to come out. They will take them out when you get your braces on. Spacers serve one purpose, to make space. They are slowly separating your teeth to make the neccesary adjustments for your braces and where you teeth need to be positioned.
