Hate to say it, but the best person to ask would be your ortho. The powerchains will keep the gap closed until all the other teeth are moved to their new homes. Anything can happen depending on what your ortho chooses to do.

I have had little gaps come and go as other teeth were adjusted, power chains and elastics were changed all throughout my treatment.

It all depends on your individual case, and what the ortho is trying to do at that time.
