if my orthodontist uses the brackets that close by the little gate, will they still use the power chains?

i was wondering why the clear elastic behind the wire was getting so stained i brush often but the stain doesn’t go. my appointments are every 8 weeks, is there any way i can get rid of the stain?

[@irrelevance3859]

Exactly. Unless they make large adjustments on top of having the powerchains (the wire usually) then the power chains don't really hurt after the first time.

not at all. i got a power chain, the next appointment it was taken off, and my most recent one i got it on again. sure, its not as bad, but its still pretty bad.

[@daylindapasatiempo1259]

My daughter got the power chain and she keeps waking me up at night saying “ mama, it hurts!!!” And I don’t really know what to do.

[@SarahSadek1]

The pain usually eases after a few days. I would also recommend asking her orthodontist if it's OK to take a regular pain killer that she would normally take for a headache to help ease the pain. This is what I often recommend to my patients. Wish you all the best 🙌

[@bridgetschumacher2114]

Dr Sarah so many changes from when I had braces way back when! My son has special needs and was so glad I went forward to get braces for him. Do you recommend retainers that are removable or permanent?

[@SarahSadek1]

Hi Bridget, braces have changed loads over the years and they can really boost someone's confidence! A worthwhile investment for sure. Personally I prefer removable retainers, but it really is case dependent. I'm currently producing a video on retainers and will discuss them all with the pros and cons for each 🙏😊

I’ve had braces for almost 2.5 years, 1.5 of those years I’ve had power chains but my gaps still haven’t closed. Any reason why?

[@SaritaSharma-cl6nf]

Bro that's some serious shit

[@SarahSadek1]

Hi Ndozoko, thanks for your comment, it's difficult to say without seeing your teeth, sometimes we leave gaps in certain places to move teeth into their correct positions. Try asking your orthodontist next time, they should be able to explain why this is happening in your case 👍.

When you said normally at the end of braces, I was soooooooooo happy! I have had themfor about 4 years, and my gap infront of my 2 front teeth has gotten big, but has stayed with me for a long time. about a month ago, I got my first powerchain on the 4 front teeth. they closed the gap between my 2 front teeth, but there is not a gap between my fourth and fifth teeth, mostly on the left side. I am looking forward to my next appointment. I have been taking such good care of my braces and i was not too much in the beggimning. but in the past year or more, i have been and ive seen great changes!! I really hope to get them off soon, even my dentist who does the cleaning thinks the same :) :) :) :)

[@carolinetomtom1600]

This is fascinating!! I'm not certain please can you tell me if there are circumstances that make having power chain more difficult? I'm thinking that age might play a part. Also, is there a special mouth wash to use , to remove loitering stuff that brushing can't reach? Thank-you very much for this video!

[@SarahSadek1]

Hi Caroline thanks! Yes there are circumstances where we wouldn't be keen to use powerchain. One of those is if brushing for the patient is proving to be difficult, as powerchain can make brushing even more tricky! Age isn't too much of an issue when it comes to powerchain. I recommend using a alcohol-free mouthwash as the alcohol can cause the powerchain to degrade faster. Mouthwashes generally won't be as good at cleaning compared to a toothbrush and toothpaste, they're more for freshening up the mouth👍

A tooth in the back was pointed inward so I couldn’t bite. I was sitting there crying due to the pain , with my mouth stuck open. I have a horrible overbite, and this is the only option. I went back the next month ( everything was removing, and I just had normal braces) to them telling me I’m not getting the appliance and they are leaving bite as is.

All of my friends have power chains and I've been waiting for theme tbh

[@dianasaad8782]

Is it possible not to have power chains at the end of braces process? Since my orthodontist said no extraction had be done.. just wondering..is it normal?

[@SarahSadek1]

Yes it is possible 🙌

[@hemontaroy8634]

Thank you. Love this video

[@SarahSadek1]

Thank you 💝

[@clownhsnaejenehejdjfn6930]

definetely the most painful part, especially if you get elastics on the same appointment.

[@sanaraheem5000]

Durinf my 10months of treatment. I never felt sensivity to cold and hot. But after power chain.. Damn the sensivity is soo terrible. Just putting water in my mouth doesnt mayter at what temperature it is. Gives such an intense pain which goes till my brain. I can actually feel the nerve.. Above the jaw.. But the doctor said just use a tooth for sensitivity.. Got a bit better now after 20 days. Actually the pain started after a week of power chains. And now gettinf better but the stubborn gaps are still there.. Dont

Hello I have a question. I’m told when to wear my rubber bands and when I don’t need to, but I was told I didn’t need to wear them after my recent appointment, but they’re in my home and I just want to use them. Is it bad if I wear them when I was told that I don’t have to wear them this time? I have my power chain and I just don’t know if I’m doing the wrong thing if I wear them.

[@SarahSadek1]

Hi Milly, yes always follow the advice your orthodontist gives you on wearing them. If you wear them incorrectly or at the wrong times it can make you teeth worse and even prolong your treatment 🙌

i got so used to power chains i kinda miss em now lolololol

[@hannecalsyn713]

Hey! My power chain snapped and i cant put it back in it’s place because it is broken. How do I fix this now that we can’t go outside because of corona?

[@SarahSadek1]

Hi Hanne, I've produced a few videos to help with brace emergencies because of the lockdowns.

[@hannecalsyn713]

@@SarahSadek1 Thanks you so much! But will the power chain being broken effect the position of my teeth? Is it just an alternative for regular elastics?

[@SarahSadek1]

@@hannecalsyn713 no problem! It's really difficult to say, without seeing your teeth. But the power chain will be doing something, so not having it there may have an effect. It's different to your other elastics. It may be a good idea to call your orthodontist, most of them are still open to give advice over the phone :)

[@simeontong33]

After the power chains stop hurting is that the last time people with braces stop having painful experiences

[@lol-ss4bq]

[@maklangchombie]

After 6 month, finally I got my first power chain today.. it's hurt like hell.. I thought the pain same as Ligature.. the reason why it lead me here..

[@nathanielgilbert576]

it feels like someone is trying to rip my tooth out with pliers.

[@hssushi3412]

I have a question so the braces made a gap between my front teeth can I tell dentist that I wanna keep it like that ?

[@SarahSadek1]

Yes you can tell them you want to keep it 🙌

[@christiana5674]

Hey I have a question I would be so happy if you answer🥺 so I’ve going to the dentist and I have gaps on every single teeths on the top row and In the bottom I have two big gaps but the dentist nevered suggested that I need braces can you tell me why? Hope you see this🥺

[@christiana5674]

I also forgot to mention that my two top teeth have a overbite

[@SarahSadek1]

Hi there! I hope you're well :) I'm not sure why your dentist wouldn't suggest braces, it sounds as though you would benefit from them. Why not suggest it to your dentist next time you see them 😃🙌 stay safe

[@christiana5674]

Smart Invisalign & Braces With Dr Sarah Sadek thank you🙏🏾
