During the initial period (the first year after your braces come off) you will wear it 24/7 for several months. Later, your orthodontist will tell you that it's OK to wear it only at night -- every night. After another year goes by, you can wear it several nights per week.
The Torque Converter can go bad, and many people mistake an engine miss, torque converter shudder, or an engine vacuum leak for a converter going bad. An out of adjustment brake light switch can also cause the torque converter to no lock up sometimes.A sticking valve within the transmission is the usual cause of an erratic lock up that will mimic a bad converter. Rule out the obvious before you assume its going bad, and/or have it rebuilt.n out of adjustment brake light switch can also cause the torque converter to no lock up sometimes.

How does a torque converter work? A torque converter is a fluid pump of sorts. Inside the donut-shaped housing is an impeller, which is driven by the engine. The impellerâs vanes create centrifugal force by pumping transmission fluid toward the outside of housing. The other key component inside a torque converter is the stator. Itâs located between the impeller (on the input side) and the turbine (on the output side). The stator incorporates a one-way clutch, which has the ability to redirect the fluid flow inside the converter.
