Separators (Spacers)

So today March 05, 2013 I went into my dentist. I honestly went in not knowing what they were going to do to me since my mom made the appointment and all. So I went in, and showed them my medical card. They told me to take a seat. After a short 10min wait I went in and sat on a chair to have my mouth inspected by some long spider like fingers wearing gloves. They had a spiral circle where they made me choose a color, I chose baby blue. The lady then got a dental instrument that kinda looked like pliers and started putting the spacers in. It didn't hurt it was just really uncomfortable. She put four on the top and four on the bottom. Spacers are really small circle rubber like things that are put in between the molars so that the dental bands are able to fit when installing braces. It's been about two hours since I got my spacers and my left side is starting to hurt just a little. My right side is fine it just feel like you have food stuck between your teeth. I'll post pictures of how my spacers look and a picture of the sheet the dentist gave me. When I smile or talk normally you can't really see them. My next appointment is March 13. I'll be getting my braces then.
