I got 2 spaces because of extractions and none of them will get down! What will my ortho most likely do. There both adult teeths and one of them have been extracted 2 YEARS AGO and the other 1 and a half. My dentist says the teeths are there and will come back soon but it whas a adult teeth lol. What will my ortho/dentist most likely do to get them down. And will it mostlikely end up with a gap between the teeths? I have alot of spaces on my bottom teeths
I just got my powerchains two days ago and the dental assistant was trying to get me to get black and orange for Halloween. I said “Sir, I’m 26. Run me that silver”
Oh hope it doesn't hurt much n I m watching this while waiting for tomorrow, the day I m getting my final teeth pulled out n knowing when I m getting my braces
@@noelmier5334 I got only brackets put on my upper teeth ( I also got a small string put on the teeths around the blank socket to close the place) cuz of the one blank socket after my first teeth removal n next week I will get my second teeth pulled out n the installing braces in my mouth will be completely done in Jan
Got powercains on my first appointment but the pain was so bad I couldn't really eat... Now got them back on again and it hurts but not like the first time.. Currently on orange!
I got my power chain 3 months after getting my braces and I was extremely excited because i believe they look better, rn I have black power chain and I use orange bands for the night #spookyseason
I got power chains and It hasn’t even been 3 months, my Orthod said they’ve never seen teeth move so quick in their life , my teeth are pretty much straight and I had to high impacted canines on the front side and now it’s all in a like in less then 3 months. I got them start of October and just had an appointment yesterday
Hey! Can someone please help me, I went to the orthodontist yesterday and I have about a month left in my treatment, but my front tooth is crossed just the slightest over my other front tooth. My ortho said she made a big adjustment to my wire and I already see progress, I’m just worried that it won’t be done intime!! What do you think will I be ready?
I got them a few months ago and I got them tightened yesterday. Worst pain ever! I also have buttons on the inside of my teeth to close extractions. My tongue is in constant pain now
Power chains were the main part of my braces journey. I had SOOO much space between my teeth. I’ve probably only spent 2-3 months without powerchains during my 3 years of braces.
@@DrGregAsatrian can you make a video as to why the 2 front teeth take longer to line with the rest of the teeth? my front 2 top ones still out a little but look straight in pictures depending on my angle. i’ve had braces for 8 months and nothing has changed with them . i am wearing bands in a triangle. i feel like i don’t have spacing between my two top front teeth for them to move back
I got a power chain on my front two teeth 2 weeks after I got braces then I’m gonna get them on the front 4. Right now mine or light blue (kinda fading) next I’m getting purple
Power chains are great...until you accidently hit your teeth with your toothbrush the day after you get them Currently 'rocking' pastel pink power chains
@@AsgardsValkyrie I don’t have braces yet I’m getting them 12th April but I have done my research and darker colours make ur teeth look white.Do NOT getting clear they stain but just get like ur favourite colour or as he said get the colours that are relate to the holiday season PS.i recommend teal or and blue:) hoped I helped
@@Meandino804 I got my braces off after 2 years it felt kinda weird because your lips are used to the braces but when they’re not there😂 but immediately after like a few minutes I had to get new braces so I’m stuck again for atleast the next year 😂
Lol True. But braces in general make flossing harder thn it needs to be lol. I can’t wait for my braces to come off and being able to floss normally without first having to go underneath the braces wire to floss lol
I highly recommend platypus flossers or orthodontic flossers. It makes the job easier and I even want to floss more often since it’s not a hassle anymore. I got them from Amazon but I’m sure they are sold at Walmart or whatever.
Hmmm tbh, idk. What colors would you recommend? Also hiii, I always watch your videos on Saturday's and I find them very useful and interesting so thank you!!😊
I had a gap between my front two teeth, and after 3 months with my braces on, I got power chains. That was definitely the worst braces experience I’ve had so far.
Gaps developed in my upper arch a couple months after treatment started so I figured towards the end of my treatment is when I will get power chains because there are other more pressing issues lol. Thanks for another very informative video Dr. Greg 💪🏾
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.
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 have clear power chains ⛓ and not by choice...my ortho said color ones were too expensive for the office...I was like “REALLY?!” He only offers clear or grey...booooo!
I will hit 5 months in braces in three days and have an appointment next week to have my wires changed and have bands put in which I'm actually excited about because I have an underbite that is rapidly worsening
Honestly, I love my powerchains. I hate when I get just the O-rings lol. My last appointment was on September 25th, so I got pink and neon green. I think for halloween I'm getting dark purple and neon, black and neon, or black and orange... They all look so nice though so I'm not sure 🥺👉🏽👈🏽
Currently my powerchains are yellow and orange. But at my appointment tomorrow I'm asking for pink. My ortho runs a fundraiser during October for breast cancer research. Money is donated for every pink tie used. Happy Halloween birthday, my daughter was born Halloween!
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. 😅
I've had power chains for most of my treatment and they're no big deal. I was wearing a light colour but they would stain after curry or wine, so switched to dark blue that does not change colour. Coming to the end of the braces part, thankfully. It's been 2 and a half years. Then having 2 implants for missing teeth.
I got power chains on the very first day 😭😭 about 4 months later, I just had them on my bottom teeth. In my 10th month now and I'm rocking metallic purple power chains on my bottom teeth!🤓
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.
OOOH i think i have power chains but in a very different way: i have brackets who don't need that little colorful elastics around them. i got an extra wire wrapped around my brackets (in Germany it's called "Verblockung"). Often when i got the extra wire i get an elastic band wrapped around some brackets too. In 2 days the space between my big upper front teeth was completely closed. Wait a minute ... noo! these "power chains" i get are hurting like hell....
I got my braces today and i have power chains and rubber bands 😭 my mouth feels like a circus but I have a lot of space and a big overbite so I’m glad I can get use to all the pain in the beginning lol
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 ❤️
@@ajfffon1748 This is the exact procedure i got. The extractions were literally painless and the recovery was pretty quick. I was in and out for extractions in less than 10 mins.
My power chains are bubblegum pink, its funny because when I first got them I hated them. It felt like someone punched me in the front of my mouth but then when I was getting them changed out and they were off, my teeth felt strange without them. Power chains make my teeth feel like they are getting a big hug.
I have power chains royal blue! 👊🏼🦷 they had to give me power chains cuz at first my teeth were crowded and after the second visit I got a big gap between two of my lower teeth now they have to close it🤐 it’s actually already closed now they work like magic!
I had blue power chains the first time I had braces on my top teeth, I developed a gap in my front teeth so they added them half way through treatment. It opened up again though after a few months with the chains so I had them for the last months of treatment. I just remember them feeling like there was a little bit of pressure, but they didn't hurt more than when I got a thicker wire (which wasn't that bad :D). Now in phase 2 we're fixing my overcrowding the bottom and are making space to bring a tooth forward, so I'm not sure if I'll need them again since I just barely have the room for this back tooth. Can you please make a video about situations where an orthodontist would file the sides of a teeth? I didn't know that was an actual thing till I had to have that happen just recently because of how crowded my teeth are. Kinda freaked me out since they didn't tell me anything about it until after they did it 😖
I had power chains on my second appointment of my braces journey and on the third appointment no power chains. They rather changed my wires with upper being gauge 19 stainless steel. I heard it’s for stabilizing tho😅
the third thing happened to me. after i got braces, i started to have gaps on both sides of my top four teeth and my mom thought the orthodontist took out some teeth because those gaps weren't there before lol
My question is not related to the video but it is a concern for me. I have braces to correct my gap and spaces but I’ve been noticing that one of my front teeth is moving in a slanted/diagonal way and now that my spaces are getting closer, it created a black triangle. I have examined my teeth before even getting braces and they are not triangular shaped nor did I have gum issues. Why is this happening and can it be fixed? My ortho says it will close and I’m trying to trust the process but I haven’t seen anyone else that I’ve watched here on RU-vid with this issue so I’m a lil worried. Please confirm or advise me. Thanks and I love your videos. They are very informative.
The same thing is currently happening to me. I'm noticing that my gap is closing but one of my teeth is moving slightly diagonally. Did your teeth ever get better?
@@kzjay12 👋🏽…they did straighten up for the most part but I still have a lil space at the top. I think it’s because of the excess gum between my teeth now. I believe my ortho said I’ll have to do some type of gum removal procedure to fix that. Hope this gave you some clarity.
@@melzie017 This helps a lot. I'm going to talk with my orthodontist at my next appointment. I've only had braces for 3 months so hopefully my teeth start to straighten out soon. Thank you!
Im in my 15 month of treatment. I remember watching the 1st power chain video. This was around the time I had My 3rd or 4th appointment of having braces my orthodontist put a power chain on my upper right back tooth to rotate it. It was the most pain I had in my braces journey. It was mad uncomfortable and I couldn’t chew on that side. I was so happy when the tooth completed rotation like I literally threw my arms up in victory when she removed that power chain. now I have power chains on my front teeth.
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 just got my power chain a couple days ago and with that I also had to get spacers with the power chain and it just now starting to hurt like really bad I was crying and eating ice cream and I only had braces for like 3 months now 🤣🤣
I don’t have para chains but I might get them at my next appointment hopefully because I have a big gap with my two front teeth I want that to go away LOL
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.....
Keep up the great videos Dr. Greg!!! Watching from Ireland, and I’ve had my braces for 4 months now. Your channel was my “go to” when I was first considering braces and even more so since I got them. :)
Just got clear power chains today on my top teeth, after wearing my class 2 elastics and then I have a power chain on one of my bottom teeth to rotate that tooth.
Also, i have a habit of rubbing my tongue across my braces.. especially after eating and I’ve notice that if I’m not careful my tongue gets pinched by the power chain. So.. just a heads up to whoever 😀
how fast do they close gaps? i got my first premolars extracted, and i’ve had power chains for a month and it feels like they haven’t done anything yettt
I got mine today I wasn’t expecting it I got metallic green but since it stretch it looks more like a jelly green it’s cute . I have it so my bottom teeth can move in place
