Power chains were probably the least hurtful part of getting braces. Getting rubbers bands took much more time to get adjusted to. Power chains just feel more of the same. I think that maybe they don’t hurt because I didn’t have large gaps to begin with. I had a cross bite and my midline didn’t match, so I believe my power chains were put on to close gaps that occurred while my teeth were shifting to one side.

I got powerchain and it hurt you literally feel the pressure . Once I hit 3 months with braces the orthodontist added the powerchain to my upper tooth as well as retightening them and adding my bottom braces the same day I was sore. It took a week for the pain to go away . Brushing teeth , putting lipgloss and talking for the first few days wasn’t easy. Here’s a tip whenever you have a braces appointment for retighten or powerchain make sure to eat and take pain med so your set. I’m curious to know why an orthodontist would add powerchain on the early stage of braces ? I thought they were only added towards the end of braces removal.

I'm going to show my age here.... I had braces from 2003-2006 (*gasp* early 21st century!!! Yuck! 😉) I had one tooth (a canine) that was "hung up." Had it not been for that one tooth, my teeth would have been as close to perfect as you could get. With that being stated, as they were bringing the one (very stubborn) tooth down, my teeth entered various stages. My treatment plan changed during the treatment period and the first time I heard "power chain", I freaked (a little), ONLY because of the way the term was delivered. I STILL remember how it felt getting a power chain. Honestly, it was a miserable week or so. My teeth felt sensitive and I just did not want to eat much of anything because the pressure of chewing hurt (I have a history of teeth grinding and migraines). I noticed really quickly the benefits of having a power chain and it honestly is a fantastic way to go to get those teeth pulled together, without damaging your teeth. The pain is bearable but is very uncomfortable, I won't lie. I can handle a lot of pain (I have had two unmedicated births) but my mouth pain tolerance is extremely low... If that makes sense.. After the sensitivity period ended, they were just like regular bands. I had elastics as well (and need them again, since pregnancy). the restriction wass more psychologically distressing than it was physically. I will be getting braces again as a 33-year-old (YES! As a older "young adult", "older person", whatever.) I grind my teeth even worse here, a thousand years later and between that and multiple pregnancies, mama needs braces again. My teeth decided they were done with retainers when I was pregnant with my eldest, and they were never the same after that. No worries, orthodontics have come a looooooooooong way since I last had mine (almost 14 years ago...YIKERS)! I recommend taking a low dose of Ibuprofen with a low dose of acetaminophen for the first few days, drinks lots of water (because that's always good, right!?), diluted clove oil (look it up)/oragel for temporary onset pain, and avoid crunchy foods until you are comfortable eating them. Pain is temporary, you can do this! 💜💙

Hi, I’m 18 and my orthodontist recommended for me to have a jaw surgery, since I have a severe underbite so it can’t be fixed with elastics or rubber bands. So I would like to see from you a video dedicated to the UNDERBITE JAW SURGERY PROCESS, if you can do it. I still haven’t got my braces on because my orthodontist gave us two recommendations : 1). Have a jaw surgery 2). Remove the 5th teeth on both sides of the lower jaw and push the teeth backwards so I dont look like I have a underbite when I smile, but in the face profile my chin or jaw will still look slightly more forward than the upper one. He gave us time as much as we want to make a decision. Please, make a video for this topic, I would’ve been the happiest. Thank you and love your videos ❤️

I was put on power chains (and open coil spring) just 10 days into my treatment, to close the gap from extraction of my premolar. The orthodontist didn’t even explain; all he asked was if I felt pressure. I didn’t. I went home and went on with my day and only found out he had used a grey power chain when I was about to do bracket cleaning after lunch. It’s been 15 days with the powerchain and so far no pain.

Thanks! I was confused why I got them since I don't have any space between the teeth. We're only fixing my overbite and a rotated front tooth. The orthodontist got annoyed when I didn't understand and asked questions. I guess they're used to dealing with kids who don't ask anything, and not an adult who wants to know what they are doing, haha. This video made it clear to me!

My orthodontist is uses old school products, but charged me a lot for my braces. I currently have one on my front tooth and another. They are bulky silver metal, they are working, just wish I would have went to another orthodontist that charged less and used cool products.

I’ve had my powerchains almost my entire treatment lol I got my tops on, 6 weeks later put a powerchain on and put the bottoms on and 6 weeks later got a powerchain on the bottom. I’m 30 and I had extractions done when I was 17 because of crowding. I’ve worn a black powerchain on top everytime and just change the bottom to different colors. I get my braces off right before Halloween, so I’m definitely I’m definitely gonna do black and orange for the last 2 weeks!! 🎃👻🧡🖤

I have had 4 extractions.... Eagerly waiting for the power chain to close the space caused by premolar extraction.......ppl are actually focused on my side gaps rather then braces.....

I'm leaning alot from your videos! Thank you! I'm a 51 yr old getting braces for the first time. I'm a bit nervous. I have a crown and a peg tooth. I'm wondering if the braces will go around these teeth or if they will also have brackets in them.

This has to do with my clear retainers. I just got them, but they give me an urge to subconsciously clench my teeth. I do this so much without really noticing and now my new retainers have a “bust” in them within the molar’s cusp. I’m not sure if there is a way to not have to feel like I need to clench my teeth together. 😅

Random orthodontic story from today. So I had really crooked teeth on the bottom of my mouth before i got braces. And 2 of my bottom teeth couldnt be engaged to the wire. So today they were able to engage one of those teeth. They put the wire in the bracket. They go to put the O tie on. AND THE BRACKET POPPED OFF. In the end it all worked out and i got a new bracket. Also, i got lavender and black.

I used to have power chains last month, but I have gaps between my back molars for over 1 year now. I had to get brackets put on my very back molars this month so now I’m back to the thin wires.

I'm Only 2 Months In My Braces Journey. So Unfortunately I'm Not At The Point Where I Get Powerchains. But Since Halloween Is Your Birthday I Promise I Will Get Black Bands When I Go To My Orthodontist Appointment The End Of This Month.

just decided to try out the baby blue power chains for this month & like the look; 1st color i ever tried was pink about a year ago but hated how it looked like bubble gum in my teeth so i stuck with classic silver to just match, until now 💙

1) What's the difference between power chains and ligatures? 2) Will I need them and how will I know if I will in fact need them? 3) Are they ever used together or is it just one or the other?
