The teeth spacers are slightly pushing your teeth into proper alignment or making space to fit the braces on. When I had mine put on they didn't hurt, it just felt like I had something stuck in between my teeth. I did, it was the spacer.
The warning to not eat nothing hard is a pretty generic one. The warning I have to give you is to not use a toothpick to pull the spacer out. The Orthodontist didn't tell me he put a spacer in between my teeth and I pulled it out because it was bugging me. Needless to say, he wasn't too happy with me.

I get my braces off on Tuesday and spacers were by far the most painful, but the first night you get your braces on they hurt horribly Because your teeth are moving.

Spacers hurt some people for the first couple of days. Don't chew gum or eat any sticky candy like a laffy taffy, now and later, airhead. You can start eating whatever after they take out your spacers.. but right afterwards youll probably get braces sooo you can eat whatever whenever your braces come off!

spacers usually only hurt pussys. n ppl lookin for the pills are prob addicts n just using they teeth as an excuse. you can eat nething whenever you want avoid biting into hard things for at least a week. biting hard food could crack the spacers
