How can you tell if your chain broke? And is it possible for your gum to heal over the chain in certain areas and make it not visible? [quote="holly0841"]I just had another exposure surgery done last week after my chain broke. The surgeon flapped up the gum and put on the bracket and chain...

I see the chain dangling from where they tied it to my wire, but I don't see it connecting to the open hole where my tooth is supposed to come down? Does that mean it's broken, or does it mean that the gum just healed over it?
