Yes, this causes temporary soreness, but that goes away in a few days.

Rinsing with warm salt water can help relieve this soreness, and even your usual chewing can help speed your teeth getting back to normal. If necessary, use pain medication similar to what you would take for a headache.

Important! If you lose a spacer, call us so we can replace it. We need that space at your next appointment to place your braces in the most comfortable manner.
