I used to go for adjustments every 3 weeks, now I think I'm gonna go every 10 days, as my ortho told me she wanted to try to rush the movement for the left canine, which is pretty badly positioned.

Currently I go every 3 weeks because my ortho is trying to being my impacted canine down. Yay!

After that- not sure how often i'll be seen- hopefully less frequent!

Hi
My ortho puts down 6-8 weeks and when i book it at the reception, most of the time i get 6. Ive only had it at 7 if hes at a meeting or away or something at the 6th week. Of course you do get exeptions when you need to go a week apart for something, like impressions.

My ortho said 6 weeks but I got the first one scheduled at 5 because of the Christmas holiday. If they try to schedule me for 6 weeks again I'll say I'm busy that week and try to get in at 5. I plan on doing this for the whole treatment. At least until they catch on. I should be able to shave a couple of months off the treatment with this plan, right?

Every 6 weeks, but it has changed. One appointment was only 3 weeks apart.

As I just had my braces put on Dec. 12th, my ortho scheduled me out 12 weeks because I have upper and lower headgear and molar build ups. I saw on my chart while exiting he had me down for 6 weeks after that.

The longest gap I have had between adjustments has been 4 weeks, although it is normally every 3 weeks. For the last month I have been going every week and my next appointment is 2 weeks since my last.

I had my braces put on last Thursday, so I'm having my initial follow-up appointment tonight (to check how I'm going) and after that my next appointment is in 6 weeks.
