I still remember that during my previous follow-up appointment, Dr. G put the power chain around my brackets on the top arch and it hurt. Right now my teeth in the upper left quadrant and my lower left first molar are still a bit sensitive, and I am heading back for my third follow-up appointment tomorrow, so I feel a bit nervous that I will be more prone to feeling discomfortable when the power chain is being removed. (I hope these teeth would not be sensitive by my appointment time tomorrow.)
In the month that has just passed, every morning when I wake up, I am able to bite down more completely (meaning more teeth can touch each other when I bite down), but as the day goes by, it usually becomes that only my upper and lower central incisors can touch each other but not the other parts.
Before I got power chain one month ago, each time after I got used to the new braces adjustment, I only felt tightness/pressure occasionally on few of my teeth few days in a month. Now that I have worn the power chain since one month ago, I feel tightness and pressure on my teeth, especially the top arch, every single morning when I just wake up. This feeling doesn’t last long, but it is just strange that I feel this every morning. (I guess that probably when I fall asleep, my senses are also resting, so I can’t feel anything. But when I wake up, my senses also awake, and the feeling of tightness/pressure just quickly resumes, thus I am feeling like this. Once I quickly get used to it, this feeling disappears.)
Regarding the bleeding incident that happened two weeks ago, I am going to mention this to Dr. G tomorrow.
