Other options for closing gaps if powerchain not working?

Anyone know what is used to close gaps when the powerchain is just not doing it? I have been wearing the same wire and powerchain for 16 weeks now on my lowers (it was changed out at 8 weeks but my ortho just put the same thing on again) It is not working to close the gap on my lowers at all, in fact it seems to be making it worse. The chain is forcing my one incisor on the bottom to flare out, and now when I bite it hits the back side of my front tooth. It is really uncomfortable. I have taken many pics and it looks the same if not worse then it did before we started with the powerchains.
Anyone know if springs are ever used to close gaps? or what they might do on the front incisors to get rid of the space if chains aren't working? Oh....and I have the strongest chains on, not the spaced out ones.
