No, not everyone needs spacers. You have to remember that evryone's mouth is as unique as a fingerprint.
They will take photos and radiographs (x-rays), and maybe impressions to create study models. Don't worry. It's nothing to be afraid of; you don't even have to be numb!!

I don't need spacers since I have TOO much spaces between my teeth. I have buckteeth since I was a child and now, I'm super happy to have them fixed through braces. Even if my teeth hurt sometimes, I'm welcoming the pain because I know my teeth are moving in the right direction !

Click on "view movies".
Under ORTHO you can see animated videos on orthodontic problems, braces, and other orthodontic appliances.
