It's called a powerchain and it is generally used to close up spaces.

No problem! Are you hurting with it? When I got my first one, it was more sore than usual.

No it doesn't hurt .
The most pain I had comes from the brackets cutting my mouth I just can't get used to them I had mine for 3 months and they still cut me.
They suck :(
