Broken power chain

#1 Post by ariannem »

I've just realized that my power chain has snapped by my back molar and I don't know what to do seeing as I am out of town and unable to call or go to my dentist office. Is there anything I can or should do in this situation seeing as my next appointment is on the 30th?

The only thing that comes to mind is to visit a local orthodontist and see if he/ she would be willing to replace the powerchain, but it sounds as though you are not near civilization if you can't make a phone call. Best of luck to you.

Don't be too worried. This has happened to me many times when I had to wear power chains. Since you're out of town you'd be better off waiting until your next appointment :)
