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.

Transmission slipping â A problem with the torque converter will often show itself fairly quickly, as fluid cannot be managed correctly. If not enough or too much fluid is passed to the transmission, it can cause gears to slip and you will often feel a loss of acceleration.verheating is probably the most common sign of torque converter problems, as a drop in fluid pressure will cause the transmission to overheat. It could also be a sign of low fluid levels or a malfunctioning solenoid, so check that first!
