- Braces Explained: Power Chains
In this video, I will be answer the question of "what are power chains?" and "what are they used for?" Power chains are like rubber bands that attach to individual teeth and are used to close space or to hold together teeth where space has already been closed. They have shape memory, much like a rubber band, and once they are stretched between two teeth, or a group of teeth, they want to return to their original shape and therefore add a tension force to the teeth. Over time, your teeth adapt to these forces and begin to come closer together! Once we have all the teeth together, power chains can be used to hold the teeth the way they are, such that spaces do not re-open!

Do I need powerchain because I have a overbite ?
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 😁
@@ashaleelevy5446 yes ... they will help to push teeth backwards

dorra chatti power chain

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've had them for nearly a year now, they honestly aren't that bad but good luck!!

Wilma Vintrell we told her to buckle up
LMFAO
Wilma Vintrell THATS WHERE I KNEW THE MUSIC FROM
Underrated
Psh yolo
Hit like if you felt the pain while he was applying the powerchain. I've had braces for almost 6 years now and powerchain is still really painfull
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
Ik right
pushhard82 did you ever get it figured out? I have one misaligned tooth and just got chains put on yesterday
Powerchains are the best because they make braces more noticeable
Isn't that awesome? What color are you rocking??!
Dr. Greg Asatrian pink and green
Yahsir O'rion LMAO, I have lingual braces so they don’t show!!!
Right.
Yahsir O'rion ik and they look better than the normal bands especially with ceramic braces like I have
I got a power chain and elastics on the same day and I feel suicidal lmao
Edit: it gets better
Same LOL
Got them yesterday
Me too
haha i just my power chains and elastics today too the worst !😭😭😭
ME TOO OMG IT HURTS SO BAD
I honestly feel like ripping these out my mouth.
Same I have them and I hate them so much I wanna rip these out my mouth
You and I both😪
I feel like my teeth are going to explode
Bell Iron Fist it still hurts so bad I’ve had them on for 15 hours
lmfao
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 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!
Ah that's awesome!! =] I'm so happy that you have a smile that you love and am so grateful that I get to do this as a job!
How long u had your retainers for?
Do u mean Orthodontist? cuz the dentist just clean and check for cavities
These darn things closed my front gap in 7 hours.
Wow! Lucky! Had my power chain for two weeks...and no visible change at all!
Lol that’s good right?
CoolVolEli same
Is it painful??? Can braces really close gaps?
@@yoursunshine9112 yes its painful for a while, but nothing to terrible
It's 4am and I am in so much pain. Got my chains on yesterday...
same here. i got them on yesterday and i’m crying in pain rn 😖
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. :)
That's so great! I'm glad you're having such a fun time with your braces and playing around w/ the fun color!
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!!!
Manyong Mayan damn, I’m sorry, dude ):
Vanka W. 2 days??? 2 weeks you mean?
I got my braces put on exactly 3 weeks ago. Your Channel is so helpful! Love how enthusiastic you are and thanks for answering all of my questions! ☺️
Love this. Thank you so much for the support! I can't wait to hear about your journey through braces =]
Why do I need rubber bands w/ braces ?! - ua-cam.com/video/jp7nM94HSkc/v-deo.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!!!
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!
He is just simply the best at teaching us showing us how this is done💪🏽
You are SO AWESOME Dr. Greg. You're getting this 60-year-old broad through the process. Thank you!
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 :)
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!!
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 UA-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!
Just got my powerchains on yesterday...slowly dying 😩😂
I got mine few hours ago... And lemme tell you I AM IN HELL!😩😂😂💀💀
Oh no guys! Hope you're feeling better now =]
Sameeeee
I got my braces today and got power chains same day. I feel like going in front of the mirror and taking my scissors and set my teeth free😩😩😩
Dramatic much ?? It’s not even that bad
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 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 for your videos, Greg! Very clear and professional explanations on braces :)
Thank you so much Anna! I really appreciate that! =]
WATCH ME PUT ON BRACES!! - ua-cam.com/video/NmnffioBhT0/v-deo.html
This video is really helpful. Thank you so much dr. Greg!
Of course! Thank you for watching and chiming in!
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.
Getting braces soon, literally been watching every video about braces 😬
There are plenty on this channel! haha
i got mine 5days ago it still hurts a little bit but it just depends on ur pain tolerance..it doesn’t hurt when u first get them tho
That was me before i got them i was just watching everything
I got power chains fitted today! I'm really enjoying the whole process.
Your video doesn't deserve any thumb down.. this is very informative.thank you again 👍🏻👍🏻
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...
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!
That's so great! Glad that that I am able to help you out with your investigations. Congrats on almost being done with your braces!
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 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 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 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 UA-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!
3 weeks with my brace. I Always watch ur vids. Thanks learned alot.
Thanks a lot Dr Greg, your way of teaching is incredible (easy peasy lemon squeezy)😀 hope you continue the Good work🙏
Ah thank you so much! I really appreciate it and all of you guys for watching!
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!
Whoaaa! So that’s how you use the power chain...good stuff Dr. G!
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
I have Invisalign (tray 4/36) and still I am fascinated by everything braces lol. Love your channel!
Definitely deserves more subs
Aww thank you so much! I hope to grow some more too =]
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 have the same thing with the full one. hurts like hell, no madison beer.
@@atyourbesturluv.7106 no Madison beer??
@@atyourbesturluv.7106aye madison beererr same gurl
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!
Thank you so much, this is what I was looking for..
You saved my life..
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 UA-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)
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 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 love you doc. You are a gift from heaven! 😊😇
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 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
Aww haha but I'm so glad it closed your spaces so quickly !
My too it literally closed overnight
Got a force brace two days ago, having a lot of pain on the first day. Painkillers help a lot and the pain is almost 70% gone
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 your videos! They are really interesting. I've had damon braces for just over 2 weeks now. And damon braces are becomimg more and more common on the NHS. I got mine for free thanks to living in England. But I have noticed a difference between British and American treatment. Molar bands aren't really used in England. I don't have them for the back of my braces nor do any of my friends. The wire just slots into the back brackets. But it seems they are always used with American treatment. I just found it interesting because the results are really good despite the difference.
Wow thanks so much !! Glad you're enjoying them! I too actually have treated a handful of patients with damon braces and, you're right, we dont need to use bands on the back teeth. At the end of the day we as orthodontist can use different tools to ideally achieve the same result, beautiful smile and a great bite! Keep me updated with your progress, seems like you're going to have a great journey with your orthodontist! Make sure to subscribe so you sty up to date with my videos! =] Lot more coming soon
After all this researching before getting my braces on, feel like I can be a certified orthodontist
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!
I had this same power chain added two weeks ago my gap is almost closed now I saw a change the same day ! VERY painful though but over time deff gets better
Nice Greg, It's good to know I appreciate what you do in these videos, I have a question, probably doesn't make that much sense, but what's the factor that a doctor makes an ET(Estimating Time) in order to don't go so fast or too slow?.
Roberto Garcia that’s a great question but a super hard one to answer because there are so many variables. Generally I don’t give a realistic estimate (I will give vague ones +/- 6 months) for a few months because everyone is individual and responds to braces differently. I can give a rough estimate from experience but variables such as your bone density impact how fast your teeth move. Also, your hygiene, caring for your braces (not braking brackets), and wearing of rubber bands plays a huge role on how fast your teeth move! Those are just some of the variables but there are so many more ! Hope that helped some =]
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:)
I just got my braces this week I’m so excited about my process, just started my channel mainly on my braces procedure
I agree 100% with power chains. I got a set put on and I literally watched over two months as the gap between my two upper incisors close.
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.
I am getting braces soon and your channel has helped me understand them slot
Thank you
Thanks for the clarity Dr Greg bruh
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
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
*That was a Very good Explanation!! 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼*
It's so interesting 😂 I have powerchains on my main front 4s, the powerchains work quickly to close the gaps, but I naturally have this very tiny two front teeth space, that opens very easily whenever I brush my teeth, had my previous permanent retainers removed (previous improper ortho treatment unfortunately: Diamond Braces are a complete no-go > having them properly corrected a second time now with another compassionate & honest office), or even when I eat anything lol. I likely need permanently bonded retainers again at the end of my treatment because of these tiny spacing. Cause even with powerchains, the main two like being free.
I personally HATE having to get my colors changed because getting them out on since it’s usually painful 🙄
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
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!
👍🏼thanks dear for precious information
Dentist from Egypt 🇪🇬
God I got power chains yesterday and I’m crying
Thank you for this informative video, I just want to know if they use powerchain in self-ligating braces?
Hello Fairy. Great question! Yes they do, but sometimes instead of being ONTOP of the brackets, they run under the brackets and wire =] Hope that helped!
Thank you! Very helpful :)
Thank you for sharing Doc.
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 just got power chains on the top and bottom and I literally want to pull my teeth out because it hurts so bad.
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
I just had to subscribe!!! U just the best🤗 I’m so excited I came across ur video...I’m getting braces in 3 weeks & excited but also nervous I think 🙈
You are so awesome! I'm excited for you! Be sure to come by and drop any questions you may have!
Braces Explained Thanks so much Dr Greg..how I wish I was from there so I could get my braces 😬 by you 😊
Awesome explanation, thanks💕
Question: I've had my braces for almost 2 years and this one tooth at my front teeth has the tooth showing only half of it because of the gum covering half of that tooth. Is there anyway to fix that?
Hmm not sure. I would recommend you bring this up to your orthodontist as he/she is more familiar with your case / treatment!
I haven’t eaten any hard foods for 3 daysss😩 Its soooooo painfulll
Oh noo =/ hope you're feeling better now!
I got power chain put on today.looking forward to seeing it do its job🙂
That's so exciting! You've got to keep us posted on your progress!
Hey! Wondering if there is any different types of powerchains that produce different effects? I just had my adjustment and I got a powerchain that has long spaces between the lops which is a bit different than the pictures of powerchains that I am used to see 😊
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 !
I’ve always had power chains, I had them all throughout my braces
Mine got closed within the hour I got the power chains 😱 .
Been holding up with braces for about 6 months and I love the progress😊
i have a huge gap in the front of my teeth and some of my teeth aint grow so my teeth messed up, im getting braces april 29 and im so excited i heard my dentist talking about power chains aswell im amped cant wait
How'd it go?
I just got my power chains yesterday and I’m in so much pain😩
Oh no =/ Hope you're feeling better!
Same 😣
As soon as they put on the power chain, I noticed that my gap was so much smaller
Can you do a video explaining the types of powerchains and their strengths please? Thank you
I'd love to see a video explaining teeth extractions and closing those spaces and the impact it has on other teeth
Yeah definitely!
Now i know a lot of stuff about power chains because i thought that power chains were just something that you could get as a color for your braces but now i know that their used to close gaps🙃
Woo I'm glad that I was able to help you understand how they are used! Soon you will have braces and hopefully you will have power chains too =]
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!
Dude u are freaking awesome dude I just got my braces and I wish u were the one who put them on!!!
