Selecting Power Chain, Short, Continuous, Long, Open..etc

[chinsathyarith]

thank you !
can you recommend where i can buy Orthodontic equipments with low price and good quality ?

[AlexEssex]

I got upper and lower metal braces for the first time on 08/11/23 (as a 58 yr old Englishman) and my orthodontist put a powerchain on my lower teeth right from first fitting my braces with 14NiTi wire. Is this normal? I have not had any pressure let alone pain from my teeth (my cut up cheeks are another matter! 😀).

[cranberry]

does it make a difference to use double power chain? and if yes, when do you decide to use single or double?

I have spacing in my upper arch between my 9 central incisor and 10 lateral incisor and also spacing between 7 lateral incisor and 6 cuspid while 8 central incisor, 9 central incisor and 7 lateral incisor are tightly closed. Should power chains go all the way to sixes or just mesial is okay?

I have to have my braces on for 2 years, will I have to get power chain during my time with braces? (I have them on because of crowding)

I got my 4 premolars extracted and my ortho is retracting the canines back by using power chain connected from canine to 1st molar directly. He advised me to keep the tightness very less but I want it to be done faster and I tighten them by myself maybe 1 or 2 holes and then he tells me not to do so . Can you advise me ?

Does it matter if I had ethier long or short power chain and I wanted to change the color so I got continuous power chain now

Hi Dr Amanda
Are they "different levels' of power chain wher they get stronger? Not sure if you know what I mean but I got a stronger power chain.

[stefenwidokho]

What about closed powerchain? Is it the same one with continuous?

My power chain keeps snapping between adjustments I haven’t really gotten and answer as to why… I need answers
