Spacers are used to prevent teeth from moving in where there is a gap, usually because a tooth came out early or one was extracted purposly. They are also used just before braces are put on to make a little space between the teeth to facilitate putting bands on.

Spacers are used to start to move your teeth a little bit to make room for the braces.

You get spacers a week before you get braces. Spacers are tiny little rubberbands you put between your molars to create space. You need the space for when they put the brackets around your molars. A week later they put your Braces on. The metal thing they glue to your têeth.

Spacers are put on your molars before you get your (braces) bands on your teeth, they allow some spacing so that the bands can fit around your back molars, which will hold the rest of the braces in place

Braces straighten teeth and spacers close or save spaces between teeth.

braces are to stranghten ur teeth and go in front of ur teeth
spacer is a metal thing that goes behind ur teeth if u are missing a tooth and going to take a long time to replace (well at least the one my son has he is only 7 yrs old had to get a tooth pulled and its not a tooth he was suppost to lose until he was 10 so the dentist put a spacer in)
same rules applies tho NO CHEWY THINGS~gum, gummie bears ect. hope i helped gl

spacers are what you get before your braces, they are like rubber bands that go between your teeth to separate them for the braces just the back 4 teeth I do believe

Braces-straighten, makes teeth closer!
Spacers-makes mouth bigger for teeth with no room or no room for teeth that have not grown in yet!

braces are the metal on your friends' teeth.
spacers are tiny little rubberbands that they actually put BETWEEN teeth to "separate" them; it provides room for wire that could possibly have to go there.
