My spaces, i think are stuck in my gums, and they hurt. my next appointment is in four days, what should i do?

Immediately: Immediately call the General Dentist or specialist Orthodontist who placed your spacers. If they have dislodged and are displaced toward your gums they can do permanent bone/gum damage in a very short period of time. Be seen to be evaluated ASAP. Don't put this off. Call immediately.
