Power chain=power pain!

#1 Post by michael33 »

Its the only thing I truly hate about braces...the physical act of putting on the power chain on my uppers! Man oh man, talk about pain! Feels like vice-grips on my teeth! Am I the only one who experiences this severe torture?
I guess no pain, no gain!

Hey Michael, I think I know what you mean. I wouldn't actually call it pain, but it's an uncomfortable sharp pulling feeling when they pull off/put on the powerchain. Not nice but not so bad.

Good luck with the rest of your treatment :thumbsup:
