Like... braces spacers? They weren't so bad... heck, if they fell out, that meant they did their job.
Now the hirex is bad. It's a metal contraption they shove at the top (sometime bottom) of your mouth, attach it to four molars, and then you take a metal "key" that slowly spreads your jaw apart... and then you get a small gap in your front teeth for a few months... good times, good times.

I hated that thing! Same here! I hated when you had to turn the key, it hurt SO bad. |

I had an expander... but it never hurt. It looked like a retainer, and i'd take it out, turn the key a couple times, and then put it back on. When i went to sleep, it would move, and in the morning, i felt fine.It may have hurt a little though... i can't remember. XD SPacers were fun tho.  I'd lose mine all the time... |

Spacers were annoying at first, but then i didn't notice them. Until I accidentally pulled one out haha. And when they took them out for good, my gums were bleeding I had an expander too. It was weird at first because it was like my mouth was smaller since the roof of it was down lower. But i didn't mind it. It just got annoying when food got stuck in it, and remembering to turn the key got frustrating too, for me XD |

When I first read the title I thought instead of spacers, it said Spencers... As in that grotestque store, so I was all with you.
I've never had braces/spacers/retainer so I have no oppinion. Sorry.
