4 days is very optimistic! While sometimes people do notice changes very quickly, it can take weeks before real noticable differences start appearing. It all depends how much movement is needed and speed of movement is such an individual thing with teeth & braces.
Try not to scrutinise too much otherwise it will feel so much slower! Take a couple pics now and wait another week or 2 then take some pics again and I bet you'll see some change.

The word "powerchain" does suggest rapid aggressive movement but in fact it is glacial, slow and steady. Maybe 1mm a month or so, at best. Too rapid and you risk root resorption.

sometimes i can see a change in two days, and sometimes i can´t see any change for a month.
don´t worry, your teeth move!

The speed of the movement depends on the individual biology, the length of the teeth, interference of the tongue, type of PC, colour, and brand.
Orthodontists know there is one brand of PC that works far better than the rest. It is also much more costly. There are also different lengths of PC where some loops are closer together than others. On average, 1mm per month is a decent estimate. Hope that helps!
