I got my power chain on my two front teeth at the start of my treatment as soo as I had them first on and today I got my first tightening but is it normal to have a power chain as soon as you get braces 😁
I'm getting braces in 2 hours. Wish me luck Edit: they don't hurt lol Day 2: I have no words to describe this pain Almost a month later: they dont hurt anymore. But I'm getting them tightened on the 18th Jeez Ive almost had them for a year now: im really used to them now. Sorry for not replying to the comments, I linda forgot abt the comment lmao Like 2 years after having them: well theure off now and I feel really happy with my smile. The worst part to it is having the retainer bc it's so annoying lol but thanks for following me on this journey ❤
I actually love power chains! They make your teeth sore for about 2 days, but they really do make a difference. They make your braces much more vibrant as well if you get a fun color! I've had my braces for almost a year now, and I've got a little more than half a year to go, but I actually don't mind them. :)
Dr. Greg Asatrian - Thank you! I appreciate you taking your time to make this video and explain how braces work. My next appointment is tomorrow, and as much as I love my turquoise, light green, and blue colors, which I've been getting for the past year, I think I'm actually going to go for purple this time, haha.
What do you mean AFter 2 days!! I've had mine in for 5 days and I am yet to be able to eat solid food from the left side of my mouth. She used then to move my over bite back and I swear as soon as she put them on I felt my teeth move but they are PAINFUL!!!
I agree, i think it’s because we’re not used to the adjustment but after my first adjustment, i started getting used to it and the pain was decreasing as i went on
I used to have a nasty tooth gap 6 years ago but my braces fixed it. Now i can smile confidently. Thanks to my awesome dentist. Her work is like a work of art. I respect you guys so much and thank you for dedication to make smiling good possible!
just got powerchains yesterday and couldn’t eat without it hurting so bad 🤧 but it slowly getting better and i’m already seeing my gaps starting to close!!
I'm nearing the end of having my treatment with braces. I now have the power chains, elastic bands and coil springs to do finishing touches! Plan is to get my braces removed at the end of this summer, so I'm "investigating" what is happening in my mouth right now. Very informative and entertaining videos! Wish I came across them at the beginning of my treatment!
Hi Dr. Asatrian, First, I'd like to say thank you and thank God for doctors like you who are willing to go all out and make this information accessible and understandable to the public. I don't have the most communicative orthodontics team, so not only has getting braces been scary, but extremely confusing and frustrating. But thanks to your informative videos so far, I've been able to get a much better understanding! In fact, it was through this video where I learned what the little bands around each bracket were called and their purpose. However, I do have more questions about them: You mentioned that ligatures were used to anchor the teeth to the wire, but why do they have to be continuously changed out? At least mine have been getting changed every month. Does each change create more pressure for the teeth to move, because after every visit, my teeth are always a little sore/sensitive. How does this happen? And I've seen other TH-camrs chronicle their braces journey in which they talk about getting their wires changed. But, that has yet to happen to me. What is the point of changing out the wire?
Hello! Thank you so much for those kind words! I really appreciate you all for contributing and helping make these videos / pages more fruitful! The rings are changed each time because they tend to loosen over time / collect bacteria & get gross. Regarding the wire changes, this is dependent on the wire used. Some orthodontist use long-acting wires that work over a long period of time to straighten your teeth while others use a sequence of shorter-acting wires. Hope that helps some!
I’ve had a power chain on my front two teeth twice since I had my braces put on in February. My two front teeth were always really sore for at least two days after. So sore to the point where if my teeth clacked, I was in tears. Gargling with pink Himalayan salt & taking ibuprofen helped a lot. My front gap is almost closed. Now, I have small gaps in between my other teeth and I got a full power chain on all my upper teeth today. I feel like I’m laying in the casket with my hands folded. My mouth hurts so bad! I’m just holding my mouth. I hope this pain doesn’t last too long since it’s a full power chain. Who knew braces were this painful! I still say none of this hurts more than when you first get them put on. My mouth hurt everyday for two months! 😖😫😫
This is me right now😭. I can’t eat. It’s been 2 months. I feel like I’m dying. My teeth are so sensitive. Biting is the most painful thing in the world
I had a good sized gap between my two front teeth , I got power chains on the front 4 and they literally closed in one day ! Power chains are powerful but if anybody is wondering , YES THEY HURT lol
You explain things so much simpler than my ortho! Thank you for these videos they are so helpful. I’m 27 and have had my braces on for 18 months, there has been so much improvement in this time but still a long way to go until they’re done. I have 2 Power Chains on my bottom teeth, they hurt but are working nicely :)
Im so excited. Thanks to this video I was able to predict correctly that I’d get a power chain for my bottom teeth (since I’d received a top one the prior appointment) as I had spotted space between my bottom teeth. Also I predicted correctly I’d still need elastics.🦷 also predicted this would be my last adjustment appointment before getting them off. Was finally given a date for the big day!!😍 I predicted January as the month of getting them off and correct!!!🌟🎉✨🌟🤩 I was able to be my orthodontist🦷
I got my powerchains yesterday and I noticed that my teeth moved overnight! It's really amazing..but hurts a lot🥺 But I'm satisfied with the results...😊
Ahh! Im so sorry that you have a tough time getting power chains on but dont they work really well at closing your gaps! What colors do you usually get? =]
Dr. Greg Asatrian I got black at the top and red at the bottom. I couldn't decide between the two colours so I went for both 😁. Until I got braces I didn't know deciding on the color of the elastics were this hard lol sheeeshhh too many colors to choose from man😂😂
I literally had my orthodontist appointment today, I love how I just got these today and I had no idea why 😂 my phone creeps me out sometimes, I didn’t even search this. It was the first thing on my screen when I opened TH-cam.
i get my braces put on in 12 days...i'm soooo excited, i finally was able to gather courage -also money lol- and go see an orthodontist at 25yo i'm proud of myself, it's been 10 years since i had last visited a dental office, i'm now wearing spacers and they hurt a lot but i know i have to be patient, it will take 2 years for my overbite to be fully fixed, i can't wait to see the results ToT
@@zaira985 it definitely hurt the first week, all my front teeth were sensitive and i couldn't bite chicken nor bread, but now that i'm beginning my second month with a new wire i am comfortable and feel normal (?) my molars feel a bit sore bc i can't use my front teeth to masticate (due my severe overbite also) but aside from that you get used to it and find new ways to chew food, now i'm just waiting for november to get my premolars extracted
Today I got my powerchains. Didn’t hurt as much as I thought. But it’s been a few hours and I already can see a gap closing!! It‘s literally insane lmao
I like the way you explain things eventhough these videos tell very basic to explain to the patients but dentist like me also appreciate your work. Plz make dentist oriented videos too like bonding of the arches directly n indirectly etc etc it will be a great help Thumbs up for a great community based work.
I loved my results and the power chains did close my gaps, but I didn’t wear my retainers....so now I’m doing Invisalign at 27...my stupid 18 year old self...I’m correcting overjet with gaps with a Class 1 bite
Oh yes I definitely will. Because the gap come back quickly, I also have to get a frenectomy. I’m just hoping my orthodontist can get as good of results with Invisalign as I got with braces.
I LOVE my power chain. I will be sorry to lose it! I love how it covers the metal wire. Didn't hurt a bit! My teeth are still very white, so I have white on top, pink on the bottom and it looks amazing!
I got mine done yesterday for the first time and … the pain is ridiculous. My mouth is literally throbbing from the pain , and with the rubber bands it’s even worse 😭😭.
I got my braces tightened today and got my powerchains as well.. It is hurting as hell. Today was my third tightening session. Few more months left before I get my beautiful smile. (5-6 months to be precise).
I don't really know why but Ian sooo interested an all of your videos ! Ever since I was super young I have wanted braces and now I do and I'm super happy...... I have watched just about every braces Visio on TH-cam and yours are definitely the most helpful........ I think I want to be an orthodontist when I get a job because I'm just so interested and it seems kinda fun.
Wow thank you so much for those kind words! They mean so much & posts like this make my day !!! I'm so glad you have braces and are enjoying them! I too was just like you at that age and it was since then that I decided to set off on my journey to be an orthodontist. It's a lot of schooling but its definitely worth it! Here to help you in any way that I can =]
Dr. Greg Asatrian thank you , I will be sure to ask anything and by the way I'm 12 turning 13 this year😀 and I think I definitely want to be an oethadontist!
A classmate literally asked me last year (when I got my braces after 2 months of meeting her): “oh wow you have braces? I didn’t know” I see that girl everyday for almost 3 years.
I'm having my quad helix removed during my next appointment... My orthodontist said "we can begin to close the gaps" once the Q.H is removed. I assume this means he will fit power chains on my braces 😁😍!! I feel soooooo excited!!
Dramatic, But Surviving. I was born with really good teeth and every orthodontist said there’s nothing wrong with my teeth. But braces looks so cool 😎 😭.
@Kingley Voermans nothing.. I will change the orthodontist, because there's no change at all and hopefully the other orthodontist is smarter. You should make a research of the orthodontist before you decide to get a treatment. Don't be like me just trust fully and then dissapointed and of course, spend lots of money with no change.
A few months ago I read some of the comments up here and did not believe it was possible for your teeth to move within a day. I can finally say... man do these power chains work!! My gap literally closed within 8 hrs! I have to admit, I had power chains on all of my teeth for 4 mo and saw NO changes which I made a stink about to my ortho. He finally corrected it and put power chains just from canine to canine and that did the trick! Call your ortho if you don’t see movement because you should!
I changed my powerchain every 4 days to speed up the treatment as I was moving to another country. Powerchain didn't hurt but amazingly closed the gaps which were created during braces treatment.
I just got these today. My crazy self didn't know what was going on. Lol!!!! I just knew it was painful more so than usual, but at same time I'm happy because I know that means more progress is coming. Thanks for sharing!
Just got power chains for my braces today. I've had braces for 7 months on both my top teeth and bottom teeth and it formed a little gap on my top jaw so I chose the blue color and it looks cool!
Hey man! Great vids. I just wanna ask that i got braces 2 weeks ago. I have gap in my two front teeth and i have two teeth grown behind the normal teeth line in the far back of two sides. So yesterday my orthodontist gave me power chains for my font two teeth only. But you mentioned that power chain is used at the last stage or later stage in the process. So is that normal to use power chains this early in the process?
Mainul Hossain i’m pretty sure you only need to wait a bit is so the teeth can line up before pulling them together, so if it’s only your front teeth and they are straight then it’s fine
Everyone is excited to have beautiful teeth after braces. And then there's me - smile is visually ok, but with messed up bite which caused TMJ problems (cracking noise, disk dislocation) :/ Ah, it's so annoying to invest so much when you WON'T visually see the results. But hopefully, it will be worth for the health in the future :)
Ieva Avi sameeeee my brother and I both got braces the same time, he’s getting his removed soon while I have an underbite problem and It’s more complicated for me 🤷🏻♀️
i just got powerchains yesterday on my top row of teeth and it hurts!! but i’m sure the pain will go away soon. the gaps are already starting to disappear so it’s cool to see!
Got my power chains on all my teeth today! I’ve been waiting for these lol. I got the clear and I’ve already taken Motrin to help alleviate the pain. These bad boys are no joke but I’m super excited still.
When they put my braces on the first three week were painful and awful. But now when they put new powerchains the pain is way weaker and it's actually nice to feel it's efficient. :)
I just my power chains put on today and came here to see how it works. So far I'm not in any pain; however, when I first got my braces put on last month I wasn’t in any pain the first day but the two weeks after I was miserable.
I just got mine on March 25, and today was my first follow up, and they put on the power chains. I'm here trying to figure it out as well ☺️. They don't hurt for now just pressure when they put them on and now. I did take a Tylenol beforehand so will see how the day goes. Good luck to you.
I just got power chains today. I've seen this video a few months ago, but I'm rewatching now! I also got elastics, and I'm about to rewatch that video too
Top five most painful things 5. When your Minecraft gf is actually your brother 4.when braces explained does not upload a vid 3.rubber bands 2.getting braces tightened 1.power chains
I’ve been through hell with braces since 2009. This is my second time wearing them now at 29 the two ortho doctors I had in the past really didn’t know what they were doing. I’ve done so much research. I stopped going to my visits because the ortho doctor put my braces on while I had a large cavity and told me She would not continue with my braces if I didn’t get it fixed very rudely I had only had the braces 30 days smh. So I’ve been Changing my rubber bands myself your videos are very helpful...thank you!
Please DO NOT do your own orthodontic treatment. There are many many things that your orthodontist knows / does / looks at at your visits that are critical to do perform orthodontics safely. I STRONGLY advise you return to your orthodontist so that your care can be carried out properly by a professional
LETS CLEAR THINGS UP A BIT! Let’s get back to reality. Yes we would love for our gaps to close within a day especially the two central teeth but the reality is that it’s not going to. The people who claim their gap closed up within a day did not have big gaps to begin with and probably didn’t need braces at all. If you’re like me with actual gaps and a noticeable one especially the front centrals you’ll see very minimal changes. It’s going to take a couple more power chain treatment to really see the HUGE difference. Yes I know you’re probably thinking well don’t you get power chains at the end of your treatment and the answer is Yes and No. If you have actual dental work that needs to be done and teeth that needs to be shifted they slap power chains on you within the First 4 months of treatment. If your teeth were basically perfect without braces but decided to get braces they’ll do the power chains treatment at the end. I see a whole bunch of comments about gaps closing in a day.. yes that may be true if you literally have very minimal gaps. I’m speaking for the ones with actual messed up teeth and need a real answer!
I got a power chain yesterday. 😭💀 It huuurrrrdddd like hell. 💔 Most painful experience in my braces journey. Buh super excited to see the results. ‼️😌 Pain better be worth it. Lmfao
I noticed a space between my two front teeth on the top so my Ortho placed a power chain on just the 4 front teeth and now I'm getting a space in the tooth where the power chain ends. Hopefully that made sense lol. I'm hoping he'll put a power chain on the whole upper next visit!
Haha that's what happens! We have a bunch of ways of closing space but generally we like to keep the front 4 teeth together whenever we do it so that you dont have gaps between your front teeth! Keep me posted on whether he puts a chain across the whole arch =]
Braces Explained they also did the same to me I also only have 4 braces in the front teeth I got my braces on Valentine’s Day yesterday 2 weeks I’m going back to get river bands but the thing I don’t get is how are they putting rubber bands if I haven’t gotten my bottom braces yet they say it’s only taking 5 min ?
Why do some orthodontist decide to put power chains? I’m at my 6th month of my treatment and I’ve been using elastics since the first day. On Thursday I got power chains only on the top. My orthodontist estimated a duration of one year and 2 months. Thank you
Hello! Power chains re used to close up space so we only use them when we need to close a gap between teeth, help with rotations and keep space closed. That's great that your treatment is so short! Make sure you keep wearing your elastics so that you don't make your treatment time longer than it has to be =]
I’m getting power chains late March. I have a pretty big gap on my two front central teeth. One tooth is in down and the other one is up. I will give you a realistic time table and tell you how fast I seen a difference. Side note - I feel the people saying there gap closed in a couple hours had a very small gap. We’ll see how this goes ..
I have the exact problem of you Joshua, the gap and the unaligned central teeth where one tooth is up and the other is a bit down that the lower tooth under the up-warding tooth has slightly shifted upwards but I still haven’t done the power chains. However, I would like to know if the power chains have fixed your problem or if there’s anything else can be done. Awaiting for your response and thank you.
@@beekoreeso2839 Hey Beeko, I’m finally glad to say that I don’t have this problem anymore. They put put power chains from canine to canine ( top row teeth ) and in about a month the gap was closed! Once you go in for your second tightening with the power chains the gap should be fully closed. Weird side note …. - I use to be able to shoot water between my central teeth. So if you really want to see if it’s closing / closed you can attempt that lol. If it fails ( as in water doesn’t go through) you know it’s working.

I"ll drop a 'like' because I had braces twice and remember how it felt!
Why have you been in braces for 6 years? What are you fixing?
Yesterday, they put power chains on me and I’m still feeling the pain

They were THE most painful thing the first few days after getting them the first time.. 😰 now they aren’t so bad. I guess my mouth is used to it 😊
Ultimate Shining is the pain going to get better over time?
What What it gets better! just chew even tho it hurts and that helps it faster!
I agree, i think it’s because we’re not used to the adjustment but after my first adjustment, i started getting used to it and the pain was decreasing as i went on
hell no, my spacers were wayyyy more painful
x s p e n c e r x yes spacers were horrible I remember waking up in the middle of the night from pain. I can tolerate the power chain but not spacers
I got a power chain and elastics on the same day and I feel suicidal lmao

I got my powerchains yesterday and I noticed that my teeth moved overnight!
It's really amazing..but hurts a lot🥺
But I'm satisfied with the results...😊
I hate power chains mainly because they are painful getting on 😑
Ahh! Im so sorry that you have a tough time getting power chains on but dont they work really well at closing your gaps! What colors do you usually get? =]
Dr. Greg Asatrian Black and Purple and then I will probably start doing holiday colors for that month.
But power chains have helped a large gap between my two front teeth.
I got my powerchain almost 2 weeks ago and my gap hasn't closed yet 😔
Frenicia Green TBH it might take awhile for something to happen in my own experience.
But everybody is different.
I got my power chains two weeks ago. I have lots of spacing. I have them on every teeth... Way too many spaces
That's awesome! They'll be surely helpful in closing up spaces! What colors did you pick??
Dr. Greg Asatrian I got black at the top and red at the bottom. I couldn't decide between the two colours so I went for both 😁. Until I got braces I didn't know deciding on the color of the elastics were this hard lol sheeeshhh too many colors to choose from man😂😂
right? haha
nicky rosey i have power chains all on every top tooth! I feel your struggle, they definitely get food stuck in them.
nicky rosey same with my friend, but she says that she doesn’t need braces.....Ik she probably does but idk if she realizes...
He is just simply the best at teaching us showing us how this is done💪🏽
Just got my power chains and bands yesterday and I swear my teeth have shifted so much in just 24 hours. Orthodontists really are miracle workers.
I literally had my orthodontist appointment today, I love how I just got these today and I had no idea why 😂 my phone creeps me out sometimes, I didn’t even search this. It was the first thing on my screen when I opened TH-cam.
So creepy how that happens right? Well you came to the right place if you're trying to learn more about your ortho treatment!
I just got my power chain today and it hurts🙄
Oh no 😆 I promise you it will feel better soon! What color did you go with??
I went with light blue
Alexia C I love the feeling of braces idk why
Alexia NaShaun I got mine 2 days ago
Yolanda Romero ohh goodluck! I got mine off recently and it feels really weird!
Thank you Dr. Greg for all your informative posts. You make things so clear and simple to understand.
Keep posting.
Aw thank you so much for checking in ! Appreciate you all!
Your video doesn't deserve any thumb down.. this is very informative.thank you again 👍🏻👍🏻
i get my braces put on in 12 days...i'm soooo excited, i finally was able to gather courage -also money lol- and go see an orthodontist at 25yo
i'm proud of myself, it's been 10 years since i had last visited a dental office, i'm now wearing spacers and they hurt a lot
but i know i have to be patient, it will take 2 years for my overbite to be fully fixed, i can't wait to see the results ToT
So proud man love to see it
how ya feeling with them on?
@@zaira985 it definitely hurt the first week, all my front teeth were sensitive and i couldn't bite chicken nor bread, but now that i'm beginning my second month with a new wire i am comfortable and feel normal (?) my molars feel a bit sore bc i can't use my front teeth to masticate (due my severe overbite also) but aside from that you get used to it and find new ways to chew food, now i'm just waiting for november to get my premolars extracted
@@manustrella2288 dude ikkk it hurts the first week, 4 month in an i just got my power chain in & i am in painnn
Today I got my powerchains. Didn’t hurt as much as I thought. But it’s been a few hours and I already can see a gap closing!! It‘s literally insane lmao
I'm getting power chains next month. I can't wait!
@@eevieeboo I wish you good luck!
isn't that wild?
Braces Explained it is!
I like the way you explain things eventhough these videos tell very basic to explain to the patients but dentist like me also appreciate your work.
Plz make dentist oriented videos too like bonding of the arches directly n indirectly etc etc it will be a great help
Thumbs up for a great community based work.
That's a fantastic idea! I will try and get more advanced videos on those concepts soon!
Definitely deserves more subs
Aww thank you so much! I hope to grow some more too =]
Got power chains and it hurt for the first 2 days and now im feeing great. Its really not that bad the comments gassed it
joe 20096 truth. It was like 2 days of soreness for me.
I got a combination of power chain and normal elastics to close the space where i had teeth extracted.. can't wait for a beautiful smile 👍👍
I had power chains a lot when I had braces....they are so painful 😒
Ahh but I'm sure they worked really well. Are you happy with your final results ? =]
I loved my results and the power chains did close my gaps, but I didn’t wear my retainers....so now I’m doing Invisalign at 27...my stupid 18 year old self...I’m correcting overjet with gaps with a Class 1 bite
Ah, yup those retainers will get you. I'm sure you'll remember to wear your retainer this time around!
Oh yes I definitely will. Because the gap come back quickly, I also have to get a frenectomy. I’m just hoping my orthodontist can get as good of results with Invisalign as I got with braces.
I love that pain it aint a big deal 😂 bcz i know that my teeth fix
I LOVE my power chain. I will be sorry to lose it! I love how it covers the metal wire. Didn't hurt a bit! My teeth are still very white, so I have white on top, pink on the bottom and it looks amazing!
After all this researching before getting my braces on, feel like I can be a certified orthodontist
I got mine done yesterday for the first time and … the pain is ridiculous. My mouth is literally throbbing from the pain , and with the rubber bands it’s even worse 😭😭.
I got my braces tightened today and got my powerchains as well.. It is hurting as hell.
Today was my third tightening session. Few more months left before I get my beautiful smile. (5-6 months to be precise).
I don't really know why but Ian sooo interested an all of your videos ! Ever since I was super young I have wanted braces and now I do and I'm super happy...... I have watched just about every braces Visio on TH-cam and yours are definitely the most helpful........ I think I want to be an orthodontist when I get a job because I'm just so interested and it seems kinda fun.
Wow thank you so much for those kind words! They mean so much & posts like this make my day !!! I'm so glad you have braces and are enjoying them! I too was just like you at that age and it was since then that I decided to set off on my journey to be an orthodontist. It's a lot of schooling but its definitely worth it! Here to help you in any way that I can =]
Dr. Greg Asatrian thank you , I will be sure to ask anything and by the way I'm 12 turning 13 this year😀 and I think I definitely want to be an oethadontist!
Dr. Greg Asatrian orthodontist (lol spell check)
0:33 just got my braces tightened and I got that type of power chain and my teeth are KILLING ME!
how about now :) was it worth it ;)
Tess aha i got mine yesterday and my gap already gone:)
Thank you for your videos, Greg! Very clear and professional explanations on braces :)
Thank you so much Anna! I really appreciate that! =]
A classmate literally asked me last year (when I got my braces after 2 months of meeting her): “oh wow you have braces? I didn’t know”
I see that girl everyday for almost 3 years.
I'm having my quad helix removed during my next appointment... My orthodontist said "we can begin to close the gaps" once the Q.H is removed. I assume this means he will fit power chains on my braces 😁😍!! I feel soooooo excited!!
Dr.Greg your voice is so soothing
Hah thank you so much! =]
I got a power chain on my top teeth but have no gaps what so ever
Mia Ramos Same! My bottom teeth are crowded and I have a power chain on them.
Dramatic, But Surviving. I was born with really good teeth and every orthodontist said there’s nothing wrong with my teeth. But braces looks so cool 😎 😭.
Cooper Bandish They get old real quick believe me XD
probably bc ur teeth are caving in, my teeth were the same problem. power chains arent always just for gaps.
Same
Weirdly, the power chain hurt less than my normal braces 🤔
Mine too and I used it for 7 months and do nothing, no changes and frustrating
That's great !
@Kingley Voermans nothing.. I will change the orthodontist, because there's no change at all and hopefully the other orthodontist is smarter. You should make a research of the orthodontist before you decide to get a treatment. Don't be like me just trust fully and then dissapointed and of course, spend lots of money with no change.
A few months ago I read some of the comments up here and did not believe it was possible for your teeth to move within a day. I can finally say... man do these power chains work!! My gap literally closed within 8 hrs! I have to admit, I had power chains on all of my teeth for 4 mo and saw NO changes which I made a stink about to my ortho. He finally corrected it and put power chains just from canine to canine and that did the trick! Call your ortho if you don’t see movement because you should!
These videos are inspiring me to become an orthodontist, it seems really interesting
yess! You definitely should =] I have a video about the path to becoming an orthodontist. You should check it out!
Why they gotta make the teeth seem like they stay white with braces on 😭
Multifandom Trash my teeth have become whiter as I look after them much better
Whoaaa! So that’s how you use the power chain...good stuff Dr. G!

**Crash**
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
we told her to buckle up !!
I changed my powerchain every 4 days to speed up the treatment as I was moving to another country. Powerchain didn't hurt but amazingly closed the gaps which were created during braces treatment.
I just got these today. My crazy self didn't know what was going on. Lol!!!! I just knew it was painful more so than usual, but at same time I'm happy because I know that means more progress is coming. Thanks for sharing!
*His Eyebrows are thicker than my wallet and I dig it ❤*
I haven’t eaten any hard foods for 3 daysss😩 Its soooooo painfulll
Oh noo =/ hope you're feeling better now!
I'm so happy I found you on youtube!!
I love this. Thank you so much for the kind words =] Happy to have you as part of our online community!
No, really. You need more subscribers. Much love from the dentists of the Philippines. My friend and I watch your videos. Hehe
Hello! Hope to keep bringing you all some great content! =] Thanks for the support
Mkj Martin me too
Just got power chains for my braces today. I've had braces for 7 months on both my top teeth and bottom teeth and it formed a little gap on my top jaw so I chose the blue color and it looks cool!
im on day 3 of powerchains. 1st night was probably the most pain I’ve felt in a long time, and now it still hurts but i can eat normal foods again
itll only get better from here!
Why do I need rubber bands w/ braces ?! - th-cam.com/video/jp7nM94HSkc/w-d-xo.html
Hey man! Great vids. I just wanna ask that i got braces 2 weeks ago. I have gap in my two front teeth and i have two teeth grown behind the normal teeth line in the far back of two sides. So yesterday my orthodontist gave me power chains for my font two teeth only. But you mentioned that power chain is used at the last stage or later stage in the process. So is that normal to use power chains this early in the process?
Mainul Hossain i’m pretty sure you only need to wait a bit is so the teeth can line up before pulling them together, so if it’s only your front teeth and they are straight then it’s fine
Does everyone have to get a power chain?
Cheese Rat nope but most do
Been used to the pc, wed got pc and the tighter ones behind those and I'm going insane!!! PAIN and haven't eaten since Wed morning before my appt!!!
I just got my first power chain to close the gap after extracting my right premolar. Thanks for the video!
Of course! Thank you for watching !! =]
Does it hurt
This video is really helpful. Thank you so much dr. Greg!
Of course! Thank you for watching and chiming in!
3 weeks with my brace. I Always watch ur vids. Thanks learned alot.
Power chains hurt so much but I’ve heard they’re very effective. I just got mine on.
Hope you're feeling better!
God I got power chains yesterday and I’m crying
I just got my power chains yesterday and I’m in so much pain😩
Oh no =/ Hope you're feeling better!
Same 😣
Everyone is excited to have beautiful teeth after braces. And then there's me - smile is visually ok, but with messed up bite which caused TMJ problems (cracking noise, disk dislocation) :/ Ah, it's so annoying to invest so much when you WON'T visually see the results. But hopefully, it will be worth for the health in the future :)
Ieva Avi sameeeee my brother and I both got braces the same time, he’s getting his removed soon while I have an underbite problem and It’s more complicated for me 🤷🏻♀️
i just got powerchains yesterday on my top row of teeth and it hurts!! but i’m sure the pain will go away soon. the gaps are already starting to disappear so it’s cool to see!
Got my power chains on all my teeth today! I’ve been waiting for these lol. I got the clear and I’ve already taken Motrin to help alleviate the pain. These bad boys are no joke but I’m super excited still.
Yeah they're a bit tight but you should notice some changes!!
I love the pain that the braces is giving me..
Haha there are some people that do!
When they put my braces on the first three week were painful and awful. But now when they put new powerchains the pain is way weaker and it's actually nice to feel it's efficient. :)
Yep me too. That's how I know that my braces is doing its job 😁
Yesss thats how we know they do their job 😏
I personally HATE having to get my colors changed because getting them out on since it’s usually painful 🙄
me before getting power chains: I think they look cute.
me 3 hours after my dentist put them: 😨😨😭😭😭
I just my power chains put on today and came here to see how it works. So far I'm not in any pain; however, when I first got my braces put on last month I wasn’t in any pain the first day but the two weeks after I was miserable.
I just got mine on March 25, and today was my first follow up, and they put on the power chains. I'm here trying to figure it out as well ☺️. They don't hurt for now just pressure when they put them on and now. I did take a Tylenol beforehand so will see how the day goes. Good luck to you.
I just got power chains today. I've seen this video a few months ago, but I'm rewatching now! I also got elastics, and I'm about to rewatch that video too
Top five most painful things
5. When your Minecraft gf is actually your brother
4.when braces explained does not upload a vid
3.rubber bands
2.getting braces tightened
1.power chains
It hurt when u got them tightened not me
As soon as they put on the power chain, I noticed that my gap was so much smaller
I just got power chains on the top and bottom and I literally want to pull my teeth out because it hurts so bad.
I read a comment about the Power chain closing gaps within a day.
Well. I got mine today and that’s exactly what happened
I’ve been through hell with braces since 2009. This is my second time wearing them now at 29 the two ortho doctors I had in the past really didn’t know what they were doing. I’ve done so much research. I stopped going to my visits because the ortho doctor put my braces on while I had a large cavity and told me She would not continue with my braces if I didn’t get it fixed very rudely I had only had the braces 30 days smh. So I’ve been Changing my rubber bands myself your videos are very helpful...thank you!
Please DO NOT do your own orthodontic treatment. There are many many things that your orthodontist knows / does / looks at at your visits that are critical to do perform orthodontics safely. I STRONGLY advise you return to your orthodontist so that your care can be carried out properly by a professional
4:33 OH HELL NAW THE FOURTH BRACKET FROM THE BACK GAVE ME MAJOR OCD😂
Omg I know! I was focusing so hard to not move out of the cameras view that I missed that bit!
I’ve always had power chains, I had them all throughout my braces
LETS CLEAR THINGS UP A BIT!
Let’s get back to reality. Yes we would love for our gaps to close within a day especially the two central teeth but the reality is that it’s not going to.
The people who claim their gap closed up within a day did not have big gaps to begin with and probably didn’t need braces at all.
If you’re like me with actual gaps and a noticeable one especially the front centrals you’ll see very minimal changes.
It’s going to take a couple more power chain treatment to really see the HUGE difference.
Yes I know you’re probably thinking well don’t you get power chains at the end of your treatment and the answer is Yes and No. If you have actual dental work that needs to be done and teeth that needs to be shifted they slap power chains on you within the First 4 months of treatment.
If your teeth were basically perfect without braces but decided to get braces they’ll do the power chains treatment at the end.
I see a whole bunch of comments about gaps closing in a day.. yes that may be true if you literally have very minimal gaps.
I’m speaking for the ones with actual messed up teeth and need a real answer!
I had a huge gap I could fit a whole straw or my pinky in it and it closed in one day of getting power chains
I got a power chain yesterday. 😭💀 It huuurrrrdddd like hell. 💔
Most painful experience in my braces journey. Buh super excited to see the results. ‼️😌 Pain better be worth it. Lmfao
Got power chain put on 2 days ago and already seeing result! The front gap is getting smaller 😍
Isn't that incredible?
It's a joy to see result more quickly
The first time I received my power chain. I wanted to remove my braces and stop my treatment.😂😃
I noticed a space between my two front teeth on the top so my Ortho placed a power chain on just the 4 front teeth and now I'm getting a space in the tooth where the power chain ends. Hopefully that made sense lol. I'm hoping he'll put a power chain on the whole upper next visit!
Haha that's what happens! We have a bunch of ways of closing space but generally we like to keep the front 4 teeth together whenever we do it so that you dont have gaps between your front teeth! Keep me posted on whether he puts a chain across the whole arch =]
Braces Explained they also did the same to me I also only have 4 braces in the front teeth I got my braces on Valentine’s Day yesterday 2 weeks I’m going back to get river bands but the thing I don’t get is how are they putting rubber bands if I haven’t gotten my bottom braces yet they say it’s only taking 5 min ?
Why do some orthodontist decide to put power chains?
I’m at my 6th month of my treatment and I’ve been using elastics since the first day. On Thursday I got power chains only on the top. My orthodontist estimated a duration of one year and 2 months.
Thank you
Hello! Power chains re used to close up space so we only use them when we need to close a gap between teeth, help with rotations and keep space closed. That's great that your treatment is so short! Make sure you keep wearing your elastics so that you don't make your treatment time longer than it has to be =]
I’m getting power chains late March. I have a pretty big gap on my two front central teeth.
One tooth is in down and the other one is up.
I will give you a realistic time table and tell you how fast I seen a difference.
Side note - I feel the people saying there gap closed in a couple hours had a very small gap. We’ll see how this goes ..
I have the exact problem of you Joshua, the gap and the unaligned central teeth where one tooth is up and the other is a bit down that the lower tooth under the up-warding tooth has slightly shifted upwards but I still haven’t done the power chains.
However, I would like to know if the power chains have fixed your problem or if there’s anything else can be done.
Awaiting for your response and thank you.
@@beekoreeso2839 Hey Beeko, I’m finally glad to say that I don’t have this problem anymore. They put put power chains from canine to canine ( top row teeth ) and in about a month the gap was closed! Once you go in for your second tightening with the power chains the gap should be fully closed.
Weird side note …. - I use to be able to shoot water between my central teeth.
So if you really want to see if it’s closing / closed you can attempt that lol.
If it fails ( as in water doesn’t go through) you know it’s working.
@@joshuavega1289 thank you very much for your reply and glad for you that the problem has been fixed 😊
I'd love to see a video explaining teeth extractions and closing those spaces and the impact it has on other teeth
Yeah definitely!
I got that and my teeth didnt hurt at all, i hardly even noticed it was there, but my spaces closed so quickly
That's great! Glad it worked so well for you =]

I got power chains yesterday and idk if that’s just me but it hurt when my ortho put on the power chains. plus my teeth are aching. braces are worth it in the long run though
They sure are !
Just got mine on today and the pain is pretty instant honestly
