These power chains are pretty excruciating but it's worth it, my gap was already closing a little with the two wire changes, but with the 3rd wire I got on the 18th and the power chains, the top midline gap pretty much changed drastically overnight. Next appointment in February I'm supposed to get rubber bands to start on pulling my overbite back.
Awesome progress!! Yes, power chains hurts but look at the gaps it closes up!! I welcome the discomfort for a day or two after adjustments. I was told that I probably be ready for elastics feb as well.. But my problem is underbite.
