Different Strength Powerchains?

Are there different types and strengths of power chains? If so, please explain the difference and when they should be used.


Thanks,

Yep, Me too!

I have had my braces 2yrs in February. I too had an overlapping of the two front teeth. As they straightened, a "black triangle" formed at the gum line, not necessarily a gap between the teeth themselves, just at the gum line, is that what you are talking about?

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!

Wow, I am struggling with the same issue. It is SO disheartening. After wanting to correct my smile for years, to be stuck with this pisses me off! I am still embarrased about my smile. Go figure huh! PLEASE let me know what happens. I am seeing my ortho today and am going to beg him to do something.

Me Too

I get small (probably about the size of a needle hole) gap when I floss some of my teeth. This is great question and I would also like to know if this will be a constant thing or will it eventually go away. If it will go away, then when?

DR....

Doctor, are you saying that the gum could fill in the small area that is left or am I misunderstanding you? If that is possible, then I am thrilled. How long before that starts to happen?

It is what it is! IPR is DONE going to have to live with it

I had the very last bit of IPR that could possibly be done to correct a black triangle that was in-between my two top front teeth. It looks WAY better. However, there is still a teeny-tiny bit of it left (probably the size of a needle hole). I am sure it is only noticeable to me. I have to get reall...

Do You Ever PANIC???

Just a quick question, but do any of you ever panic at the thought that things may not turn out the way you dreamed. I have wanted this for so long and sometimes I get so distressed at the thought that things won't work out. Especially, when things don't look right. I am scheduled to have them off i...

I Have!

I don't remember how far in to wearing braces, but I did experience some neck pain. It was severe enough for me to consult a Chiropractor. It has gone away though.

Was it braces related, I don't know???? But, I did experience the neck pain.

I am feeling anxious too!

As a matter of fact, I was just fixing to post a message for some re-assurance. I have a de-bonding date coming up in a few months and I still have several issues to be delt with, mostly several gaps and one of my top front teeth looks thicker than the other one. I am SO nervous that things are not ...

One more thing.

One more thing. They take a little off at a time. It took me two visits to close the gap. I can't even tell a difference in the shape or the size of my teeth and they don't look smaller. Again, I think it is due to the fact that they take off very small amounts. I really do think you will be glad yo...

It is Absoultely Fine

I had it done a couple of times on my two-front teeth due to a triangular gap (I had a cross bite for years/two front teeth crossed). Anyway, the gap is gone, it was pain free and I have not suffered any repercussions from it. I think it was worth it and definitely better than a big triangular gap i...

No, I do not think that you were being over-sensitive. He was being a disrespectful little jerk! I hope that you didn't tip him! My parents couldn't afford them either and I have always hated my smile. I don't care how old you are. If it makes you feel better about yourself than go for it. This does...

Hi...I had IPR today for the 1st time and have a question?

Hi Everyone. I had IPR done for the first time today. It was NOT BAD AT ALL. I thought it would have been horrible, but it was actually VERY EASY! Anyway, I kind of wish she would have shaved more off than what she did. I don't think that this is going to close my gap all of the way. If it doesn't c...
