How long do spacers stay in mouth?

The spacers stay between the teeth for one to two weeks and move the teeth apart slowly until they are far apart enough so that orthodontists can fit a tooth brace or molar band in between them or fit an expander with metal rings. Spacers are usually used to put spaces in between teeth before braces are established.
