    Powerchain

    I got a powerchain today.. didn't look in the mirror until several hours after I got home and I noticed that the chain is only around the front 6 brackets and then skips my back teeth and attaches to the back bracket. The lady that put it on kept having trouble getting it around my brackets. I wonder if its suppose to be on ALL brackets?? I am planning on calling tomorrow to check on it, but until then any thought on this?

    Emmie powerchains can be on any number of teeth ... well 2+ that is.

    Definitely give them a call to check though, for peace of mind.

    Good luck with progress, powerchains can do amazing work!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
