My power chains has come off. What should I do?

Dear Natalia.Cicovacki,Thank you for posting your question on Real Self. I will do my best to answer your question with the information provided.I recommend calling your orthodontist to set up an appointment earlier to repair it.  It is not a major concern, but you definitely want to see your doctor asap to repair it.  Good luck and I hope that this helps.Best,Dr. Jenn

Not sure what movements your orthodontist is trying to make but generally if power chains and elastics are part of the treatment, then you need to have them replaced. If you wait until your next appt. you will most likely lengthen your treatment time because the tooth movements won't take place. Power chains are generally good for about 2 weeks and placement of elastic ties under them help a lot.
