Loose Powerchain

#1 Post by SimInsomniac »

This evening I noticed that my lower powerchain had partly come off of one bracket. It was still hanging on half of the bracket, so I tried to place it back over the rest of the bracket and succeeded. It seems pretty stable and looks how it was before.
Did I do the right thing? And should I see my ortho about it? I thought I'd only ask if it carries on coming loose, and there's no gaps in the corner of my mouth where this happened, so is it not really a problem?

Thanks in advance,
Sim :wink:

Thanks tommyfive and KK!

I've let it go today and touch wood things seem perfectly fine, so I'll leave it. I wouldn't want to waste my ortho's time if he isn't really needed.
