A painful new spacer!


As expected, my orthodontist had me visit his office today to have a new spacer inserted. While slightly more painful than my visit last week, inserting the spacer was quick and easy. The ease with which it was inserted between my molars indicates that the original spacer, while only in for two days, was doing its job!

Unfortunately, since my visit this morning, my teeth have been very sore--more sore than they were when I received the original four spacers. Several times today, in the course of talking or eating, my upper and lower molars have hit one another, resulting in a sharp pain that has left me speechless and grimacing. It should be no surprise, then, that Advil has become my new best friend, again.
