Braces Explained Hi. Is there a such thing as clear power chains?
I got power chains couple days ago
I got 2 spaces because of extractions and none of them will get down! What will my ortho most likely do. There both adult teeths and one of them have been extracted 2 YEARS AGO and the other 1 and a half. My dentist says the teeths are there and will come back soon but it whas a adult teeth lol. What will my ortho/dentist most likely do to get them down. And will it mostlikely end up with a gap between the teeths? I have alot of spaces on my bottom teeths
I just got my powerchains two days ago and the dental assistant was trying to get me to get black and orange for Halloween. I said “Sir, I’m 26. Run me that silver”
M 28....and I m wearing different colours bands...😬😬😬😬
max ximum I ain’t judging you! I just have my own personal reservations lol
Hahaha🤣
Haha 😭
“run me that silver”😂😂😂
Lol he's rocking a gold power chain around his neck

I just got power chains today.🙂 wanna rip my teeth off 🙂
Something about the energy of this comment 👌🏻😂👏🏻
Yes that was me 2 weeks ago
@@jw1143 it’s the emojis 😭 so sinister
🥲🥲
I got them a few months ago and I got them tightened yesterday. Worst pain ever! I also have buttons on the inside of my teeth to close extractions. My tongue is in constant pain now
my teeth never hurt with braces..until i got my power chains on.. 😀
Same sis
Same. I'd rather step on a lego than get another power chain.
ikrr😭😭
Same here
luckily, mine started 1 months ago with power chain but not hurt at all. Is that normal? 😅
Power chains were the main part of my braces journey. I had SOOO much space between my teeth. I’ve probably only spent 2-3 months without powerchains during my 3 years of braces.
Haha that makes sense! Hopefully those spaces are almost all closed!
Same😭💛
@@DrGregAsatrian can you make a video as to why the 2 front teeth take longer to line with the rest of the teeth? my front 2 top ones still out a little but look straight in pictures depending on my angle. i’ve had braces for 8 months and nothing has changed with them . i am wearing bands in a triangle. i feel like i don’t have spacing between my two top front teeth for them to move back
I got a power chain on my front two teeth 2 weeks after I got braces then I’m gonna get them on the front 4. Right now mine or light blue (kinda fading) next I’m getting purple
Did u take of brace are using retainer
“Hand me the power chain” is the sentence I heard my orthodontist say the most during my treatment hahahaha
Me too !!! I said what the heck is that !!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Power chains are great...until you accidently hit your teeth with your toothbrush the day after you get them
Currently 'rocking' pastel pink power chains
Mine are hot pink 💀
Lol so far I have rocked pastel pink, hot pink and mauve pink :)
Pls recommend good colours- lmfao I might get braces soon but I wouldn’t know what colours to choose😂😂
@@AsgardsValkyrie I don’t have braces yet I’m getting them 12th April but I have done my research and darker colours make ur teeth look white.Do NOT getting clear they stain but just get like ur favourite colour or as he said get the colours that are relate to the holiday season PS.i recommend teal or and blue:) hoped I helped
A quick way to get irritated 😂 it is the worst when my toothbrush gets caught in the chain/brace and gives me a yank of pain, mine are dark blue
I am 26 and I am rocking teal power chains. These things were expensive so yes I want fun colors!
That’s my go to color!❤
I've been in power chains for about a year! I'm 44. Looking forward to getting my Braces removed summer of 2023 😆
I hope you the best 😂
I'm at the end of my braces journey and currently wearing the powerchain since like 2 months ago. Going to remove my braces on Wednesday!
Did you get them off yet?? If you did how does it feel?
Yeah! Did ya get them off?
How’d it go?
how’d it go? Update us
@@Meandino804 I got my braces off after 2 years it felt kinda weird because your lips are used to the braces but when they’re not there😂 but immediately after like a few minutes I had to get new braces so I’m stuck again for atleast the next year 😂
Gaps developed in my upper arch a couple months after treatment started so I figured towards the end of my treatment is when I will get power chains because there are other more pressing issues lol. Thanks for another very informative video Dr. Greg 💪🏾
i have power chains on my whole bottoms row and top row (except for top canines) and let me tell you... i couldn’t even eat a MARSHMALLOW😭
Lol I feel your pain
Power chains are for your braces, while a guido chain is for Dr. Greg’s neck 🔗 😆
WHAT
😛😛😛
this is hilarious
Keep up the great videos Dr. Greg!!!
Watching from Ireland, and I’ve had my braces for 4 months now. Your channel was my “go to” when I was first considering braces and even more so since I got them. :)
I’m closing gaps and power chain seems not effective enough so I got coil spring last Thursday. They definitely hurt more, but I love it!
Currently "rocking" power chains in black.
I have black power on top and white on bottom
Me too
Me too!
same !
Same! Get them off next month can’t wait!
I got power chains at my first retie appt and they have worked wonders. They are uncomfortable for the first week but you will get used to them.
I’ve had power chains since late spring last year. Should be getting my braces off the first week of December!
Had my second appointment yesterday (9 weeks in) and they took out my class 2 elastics and bite blockers, but now I have this criss cross wire that closes spaces too, which I don't really get because I can already hardly floss. I will admit, it's less uncomfortable than the bite blockers, but oh my goodness it's sore. I also got brackets on the teeth behind my banded molars because other than 6mm of overjet, all of my teeth are rolled inwards towards my tongue because I used a suckie until I was 6. It's so cool to see you explaining all that stuff, and it helps me understand treatment better than 5 minutes at the end of a visit. Thank you so so SO much!
Watching while on power chain with elastics 😭
Oh hope it doesn't hurt much n I m watching this while waiting for tomorrow, the day I m getting my final teeth pulled out n knowing when I m getting my braces
Same :( I have power chains across both top and bottom
@@Meandino804 when do you get them? I get them mid december
@@noelmier5334 I got only brackets put on my upper teeth ( I also got a small string put on the teeths around the blank socket to close the place) cuz of the one blank socket after my first teeth removal n next week I will get my second teeth pulled out n the installing braces in my mouth will be completely done in Jan
Ditto!! 😟😖
I have powerchains and they're baby blue🙂 I'm going back next week to the office to switch the color!!😊
Awesome choice ! what's your next braces color?!
Hmmm tbh, idk. What colors would you recommend? Also hiii, I always watch your videos on Saturday's and I find them very useful and interesting so thank you!!😊
Mine are baby blue too 💯❤️
I had a gap between my front two teeth, and after 3 months with my braces on, I got power chains. That was definitely the worst braces experience I’ve had so far.
im gong to need them at the end of my journy but im really close once we have the money im gting my braces so im excited and no longer nervous after i found you your tips are really helpful
Just got mines taken off today 😁. They was hard to floss with them
Lol True. But braces in general make flossing harder thn it needs to be lol. I can’t wait for my braces to come off and being able to floss normally without first having to go underneath the braces wire to floss lol
I highly recommend platypus flossers or orthodontic flossers. It makes the job easier and I even want to floss more often since it’s not a hassle anymore. I got them from Amazon but I’m sure they are sold at Walmart or whatever.
Keep up the great work!!!
Hi! This was a very helpful video, I have power chains now didn't really know much about them. So I'm glad you explained it😁 purple by the way😂
Wearing a pearl color power chain 🙌🏼 it blends right in with my ceramic braces.
I have the same combination!
I have burgundy!
Thank you very much, this was the question I was trying to find😇
So happy to help!
Power chains were probably the least hurtful part of getting braces. Getting rubbers bands took much more time to get adjusted to. Power chains just feel more of the same.
I think that maybe they don’t hurt because I didn’t have large gaps to begin with. I had a cross bite and my midline didn’t match, so I believe my power chains were put on to close gaps that occurred while my teeth were shifting to one side.
I will hit 5 months in braces in three days and have an appointment next week to have my wires changed and have bands put in which I'm actually excited about because I have an underbite that is rapidly worsening
Just got power chains on my lower front teeth and upper front teeth. Super sore, but am excited to see the results! Light blue!
Just got mine put on the upper and lower AND started elastics ...Dark Green
My ortho used powerchains as a substitute for elastics, he said it's much better to use since he's having difficulty solving my open bite
I actually really hoping I get a power chain at some point once I get my braces. They look so cool
I love the editing in every possible way. (Especially fLiMsY)
Do you edit yourself or have an editor?
Aww thank you so much - i put WAY too much time into it but I do them all myself =]
@@DrGregAsatrian damn respect ✊
This was very helpful.
Im in my 15 month of treatment. I remember watching the 1st power chain video. This was around the time I had My 3rd or 4th appointment of having braces my orthodontist put a power chain on my upper right back tooth to rotate it. It was the most pain I had in my braces journey. It was mad uncomfortable and I couldn’t chew on that side. I was so happy when the tooth completed rotation like I literally threw my arms up in victory when she removed that power chain. now I have power chains on my front teeth.
same lol and my pain tolerance is very high
just decided to try out the baby blue power chains for this month & like the look; 1st color i ever tried was pink about a year ago but hated how it looked like bubble gum in my teeth so i stuck with classic silver to just match, until now 💙
I just got my powerchains yesterday and they hurt like hell damn. Sky blue 😂
You explain everything so well. Wish you were my doctor!! 😊
With my pre-braces gappy teeth powerchains and I were besties for most of my treatment! 👯♀️
Currently my powerchains are yellow and orange. But at my appointment tomorrow I'm asking for pink. My ortho runs a fundraiser during October for breast cancer research. Money is donated for every pink tie used.
Happy Halloween birthday, my daughter was born Halloween!
Thank you mr thumb this video helped very much
my orthodontist only had one color, we don’t get to choose them. it’s like a dark gray color and they hurt like hell 💀😭
Thank you for posting
I got power chains on the very first day 😭😭 about 4 months later, I just had them on my bottom teeth. In my 10th month now and I'm rocking metallic purple power chains on my bottom teeth!🤓
For powerchains I’ve had:
Blue
Purple
& now black.
Next time I’m getting blue on top, green on the bottom
I loved my power chains!! 🤩 and now that I just got my braces off I miss them so much 😣
I got braces two days ago and took all of your advice! They didn’t have enough black so I got navy! Thanks!!!
I Love the zooms and the trivia even i dont have a brace
I've had power chains for most of my treatment and they're no big deal. I was wearing a light colour but they would stain after curry or wine, so switched to dark blue that does not change colour. Coming to the end of the braces part, thankfully. It's been 2 and a half years. Then having 2 implants for missing teeth.
You should make a video on what classes you should take in high school and what you need to be good at type stuff
I got powerchain and it hurt you literally feel the pressure . Once I hit 3 months with braces the orthodontist added the powerchain to my upper tooth as well as retightening them and adding my bottom braces the same day I was sore. It took a week for the pain to go away . Brushing teeth , putting lipgloss and talking for the first few days wasn’t easy. Here’s a tip whenever you have a braces appointment for retighten or powerchain make sure to eat and take pain med so your set. I’m curious to know why an orthodontist would add powerchain on the early stage of braces ? I thought they were only added towards the end of braces removal.
I currently got power chains and wow this has been the most painful part of my braces journey. I have baby blue power chains =)
i know have both my top and bottom row with power bands now.. plus bands on both sides 🙄 i’m having SO much fun lol
Hi! Can you go into details about underbite in the next video? Thank you!!
Yessssss powerchains hurts!
It’s tight, it’s painful, it’s uncomfortable, you can’t eat.
They are the most painful thing in the world
I used to have power chains last month, but I have gaps between my back molars for over 1 year now. I had to get brackets put on my very back molars this month so now I’m back to the thin wires.
I have power chains royal blue! 👊🏼🦷 they had to give me power chains cuz at first my teeth were crowded and after the second visit I got a big gap between two of my lower teeth now they have to close it🤐 it’s actually already closed now they work like magic!
this is my life source when i first got my braces to now
Happy b-day !!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thanks! I was confused why I got them since I don't have any space between the teeth. We're only fixing my overbite and a rotated front tooth. The orthodontist got annoyed when I didn't understand and asked questions. I guess they're used to dealing with kids who don't ask anything, and not an adult who wants to know what they are doing, haha. This video made it clear to me!
I got my braces today and i have power chains and rubber bands 😭 my mouth feels like a circus but I have a lot of space and a big overbite so I’m glad I can get use to all the pain in the beginning lol
Hey how's the braces progress now?
I had same problem like you
Got powercains on my first appointment but the pain was so bad I couldn't really eat... Now got them back on again and it hurts but not like the first time.. Currently on orange!
I got black powerchain for my LAST MONTH WITH BRACES YAYYY
This very helpful clarification why my ortho use power chain on my crooked teeth and not extraction yet even though they don't have gap.
I got my power chains this month oh gosh so much pressure but it is a part of braces journey!
😭 I want my extractions close but thanks Dr Gregg I will have to be patient
I'm leaning alot from your videos! Thank you! I'm a 51 yr old getting braces for the first time. I'm a bit nervous. I have a crown and a peg tooth.
I'm wondering if the braces will go around these teeth or if they will also have brackets in them.
I am the the same age and I had braces for 4 months and it is not bad at all.
I’ve had my powerchains almost my entire treatment lol I got my tops on, 6 weeks later put a powerchain on and put the bottoms on and 6 weeks later got a powerchain on the bottom. I’m 30 and I had extractions done when I was 17 because of crowding. I’ve worn a black powerchain on top everytime and just change the bottom to different colors. I get my braces off right before Halloween, so I’m definitely I’m definitely gonna do black and orange for the last 2 weeks!! 🎃👻🧡🖤
I have a power chain on now (silver) because I started to develop a gap between my top two front teeth. The first power chain that I had was to rotate a tooth (around the beginning of my treatment...two years ago). The gap between my two front teeth is pretty much closed now.
I have clear power chains ⛓ and not by choice...my ortho said color ones were too expensive for the office...I was like “REALLY?!” He only offers clear or grey...booooo!
I actually just got mine today which is why I’m watching this video! Mine are sky blue!
Just got clear power chains today on my top teeth, after wearing my class 2 elastics and then I have a power chain on one of my bottom teeth to rotate that tooth.
Also, i have a habit of rubbing my tongue across my braces.. especially after eating and I’ve notice that if I’m not careful my tongue gets pinched by the power chain. So.. just a heads up to whoever 😀
can you make a video about teeth that overlap, cross over one another, how that happens and how it is fixed?? (i have that and am getting braces soon)
🎉❤Happy Birthday!!
This has to do with my clear retainers. I just got them, but they give me an urge to subconsciously clench my teeth. I do this so much without really noticing and now my new retainers have a “bust” in them within the molar’s cusp. I’m not sure if there is a way to not have to feel like I need to clench my teeth together. 😅
Rockin a yellow power chain. And so far braces have been pretty fun. Only bad thing are the tightenings but other than that I’m cool.
Can you do a video on leveling and contouring the teeth?
I got mine today I wasn’t expecting it I got metallic green but since it stretch it looks more like a jelly green it’s cute . I have it so my bottom teeth can move in place
I do be rockin the primary colour blue power chains 💅
I love your videos👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😬
I'm getting my braces off on the 28th! I'm super excited and I'm also hoping the appointment doesn't get cancelled.
Is it today!!
@@bellaturner383 yes it is!!!! I’m so excited
i had power chains on really early on in my treatment to close the gaps for my top front teeth and then to close the gaps from extracting my top teeth.
They took mine off about 2 weeks after I got them. They put mine on the second appointment.
Your edits man! 😂☺️
I have had 4 extractions.... Eagerly waiting for the power chain to close the space caused by premolar extraction.......ppl are actually focused on my side gaps rather then braces.....
I got power chains and It hasn’t even been 3 months, my Orthod said they’ve never seen teeth move so quick in their life , my teeth are pretty much straight and I had to high impacted canines on the front side and now it’s all in a like in less then 3 months. I got them start of October and just had an appointment yesterday
I have learnt Alot from your videos thanks for sharing valuable information.....can you please suggest me some good molar tubes
Just got power chains in my top row!
the third thing happened to me. after i got braces, i started to have gaps on both sides of my top four teeth and my mom thought the orthodontist took out some teeth because those gaps weren't there before lol
Rocking the navy and next I will do burgundy for thanksgiving 😁
Power chains hurt so much at first but felt okay afterwards and the following months of adjustments.
My power chains are bubblegum pink, its funny because when I first got them I hated them. It felt like someone punched me in the front of my mouth but then when I was getting them changed out and they were off, my teeth felt strange without them. Power chains make my teeth feel like they are getting a big hug.
Just got powerchains today and I’m in so much pain , even after taking pain medication. I’m dealing though😩...anyway I got this really pretty blue and it looks so fire.
Doc - Is a slight midline deviation okay? At what mm deviation should you fix a misalignment? Thank you
I had power chains on my second appointment of my braces journey and on the third appointment no power chains. They rather changed my wires with upper being gauge 19 stainless steel. I heard it’s for stabilizing tho😅
Silver power chains so way back when! I had a great orthodontist
Dr.Greg is really cool
Would you be able to do a video about impacted canines?
