A gap formed between my two front teeth during my first few months with my brace on. its only small, maybe just over 1mm. I had a power chain put on about 10 days ago and over the first few days it seemed to close the majority of the gap. Im now left with maybe 0.5mm gap but progress seems to have drawn to a halt. I have 3 weeks until my next appointment. Will the gap continue closing in this time or do the chains lose their effectiveness early on?
I have had my braces on for a year and a half. I am supposed to be getting them off next week. The main reason I got my braces was to fix my gap in between my two front teeth and to fix my gap. Last month I went in and they said that there was nothing they could do for my gap anymore because it still had a little over bite. I said I dont mind as long as my gap got fixed. I have had thos gap reopen 3 times even with a power chain on. Any ideas on the causes. Can a retainer fix the gap?
So I recently had teeth pulled and when I went back to the orthodontist they put a little power chain to close up one of the gaps. The power chain looks like it is only on half the bracket, and hurts to bite down on. Should I go back to the orthodontist to get it fixed or wait ?
My teeth hurt because power chain ripped apart. It ripped about a week ago. My appointment will be on Thur, Feb 18th but I can already feel that one of my tooth, the one that there is no power chain on, starts moving back. Will it b ok to wait until Thur? I have been having braces only a year and 4 months. Is it a big deal Or it has to be taken care of asap? Thank you so much.
I have had braces for 6 years now and each time Ive been going to the orthadontist she just keeps telling me to wear my elastics. However I have only noticed a change in my overbite and the gaps have not closed.I really want my braces of before my engagment in 5 months
My power chains on my braces are yellow. I have a big event tomorrow and I want to take it off. I was supposed to get my braces tightened 2 months ago but my family has moved all over. Since I am overdue on getting my braces tightened can I just remove the yellow stained power chains?
I had 2 lower premolars extracted 8 weeks ago - and have had self-ligating braces with power chains for 6 weeks now to close the gaps, in preparation for double jaw surgery. How long does it typically take for these gaps to close? When would be reasonable to expect to have the surgery? I am using Acceledent daily as well. I feel my gaps have maybe closed 1mm so far, which seems very slow. Is there a faster way/technique to close these gaps?
