How you know when spacer is below gum line? two of them i can't see or feel them with my tongue. & if they below the gum line, what should i do?

See ur orthodontist: Your orthodontist will be able to better visualize your teeth and retrieve any spacers that may be impacted below the gumline. Don't delay... they will irritate the gingival tissue, causing inflammation and bleeding, and they're not working correctly when they are not in their proper position.
