Orthodontic power chain is a type of dental appliance used in orthodontics. It consists of a series of interconnected elastic links that form a continuous chain. Power chains are typically used to apply continuous, gentle pressure to teeth, helping to close gaps between them or to correct other alignment issues.

Here’s a bit more detail about how they work:

1. Purpose: Power chains are used to apply pressure to teeth, which helps in closing spaces between them, aligning teeth, or moving teeth into the desired position more efficiently than with individual elastics.

2. Material: They are usually made of latex material, and they come in various colors and sizes to suit different treatment needs.

3. Application: The orthodontist attaches the power chain to the brackets on the braces. It runs from one bracket to another, creating a continuous chain of elastic.

4. Adjustments: Over time, as treatment progresses, the power chain may be adjusted or replaced to continue applying the necessary pressure and to accommodate changes in the alignment of the teeth.

In summary, a power chain is a useful tool in orthodontic treatments for improving the alignment of teeth and closing gaps effectively.
