First adjustment

#1 Post by pegasus2425 »

Well i had my 1st adjustment on Wednesday, and after staying up all night stressing, I realized I had nothing to worry about. :oops:
I was supposed to get a palletal bar and power chain on top of the usual lager AW. What I got was a power chain. That's it... and even then they left a link out because my gap is so large they couldn't stretch it. So it's not tight at all. It doesn't feel like they did anything! My teeth a more loose now, so I know they're moving, but I'm not in any pain!
I went with a blue power chain and ligs this time to keep from staining them. We'll see how that works! Will post pics soon.

It's nice to know there was nothing to worry about though, isn't it? Now you won't have to be nervous for the next appointment.

Looking forward to your pics!
