Potatoes. Potatoes will be your best friend, it doesn't hurt to eat them and if you eat them hott it makes the pain go down. Eat a lot of sugar free gum, it'll help the pain go away a lot faster, it might hurt at first but it'll be worth it, I promise. Take a lot of ibuprofen as well. It really does help, and find a lot of ways to intertain yourself so you're not thinking about it constantly. :)

Distracting yourself is good. Read, play video games, or whatever you can do that takes a lot of concentration: it'll take your mind off the pain.
You can also take pain medicine for it. You should talk to your orthodontist and your parents about this.
Also talk to your orthodontist about your worries. I'm sure he or she can help soothe your nerves and give you lots of helpful information about dealing with your spacers.
