When is adjustment time????

#1 Post by teach »

Hi everyone, Is the adjustment procedure different for everyone? Just curious. I had my lowers on since Thanksgiving and the uppers on for 2 weeks now. I have read some of your stories and some are on their second adjustment already. As soon as figure this camera out and how to post, I wil post some pics. I havent seen any change yet but Im looking at them everyday though. When I post, curious on your responses. I'm glad on got them though. :D

Hi teach. Adjustments will be different for everyone depending on what your issues are and how quickly (or not) your teeth move. I think on my second adjustment I got a wire change, which really surprised me. Sometimes that happens, other times I'll go for 4 adjustments before I get a wire change. The one thing I learned was to take some painkillers prior to an appointment. I always find any work done on my uppers slightly more uncomfortable than my lowers, but that's probably because I have more problems with my uppers.
