I had a major gap between my two front teeth, but it closed up with no powerchain. Now I have gaps on both sides of my formerly impacted canine, but the are closing up with no powerchain. I have developed a new gap on one incisor. My daughter who had NO gaps and is going to the same ortho is wearing powerchains. So they must serve purposes other than closing gaps. I keep thinking I will get one for my gaps but haven't yet. He has laced all my top front teeth together with wire though.

I had a powerchain for one month. I'm missing two teeth (baby teeth with no regular teeth below, will be replaced by implants) and my front lower teeth started to spread out because of the available spaces. I wore a powerchain for a month, and now I have a combination of elastics (to correct my overjet) and springs (to hold the spaces open while I'm wearing the elastics!), so no more powerchain.
