1st Adjustment Update

My adjustment was yesterday evening at 5:30. I had no clue what to expect for my 1st adjustment. One of the assistants took a look at my teeth and asked if it was my 1st one and she proceeded to take off the clear ligatures that I had and the wires. She asked me what color I wanted and I told her whatever wouldn't be noticeable for my metal brackets would be fine; I got silver and they blend in perfectly. After a few minutes the orthodontist came over and looked at my teeth and was telling the assistant to do a 2x2 powerchain on my top teeth and a 3x3 powerchain on the bottom and asked me if I was ready to get my gaps closed up (heck yea!). He changed his mind and told her to do a zing zang? (correct me if I'm wrong). The assistant took a string and made a figure 8 around my top 4 teeth, put the same wires back in and put on my silver ligatures and I was all done. She told me to come back in 4 weeks and I should be getting powerchains then. What's the diifference between powerchains and the string? I'm not in any pain but when I ate dinner last night I noticed that I'm back to eating on my sides only. My front teeth are so sensitive and I can't bite into anything. I can't wait for my next adjustment; I wish it was today already. Even if I don't see progress, I love knowing that things are getting done.
