Adjustments...every 2 months?
My ortho told me that my adjustments will be every 2 months. I thought people usually have it done every month. Is every 2 months really often enough?

Normal
Yep that sounds normal. I had appts at 6-8 week intervals and as I got closer to getting them off, the appts were spaced even further. My longest was 9 weeks!

I am supposed to go every 10-12 weeks. I got my braces in May, had my first adjustment on August 22, and just had my second adjustment on November 10. My next adjustment is scheduled for January 26. I'm glad I don't go that often, I would hate to go through the adjustment pain every month! Oh yeah, I have the regular old metal braces with ligatures.

Four to six weeks for me, usually closer to the six week mark. Seems like all the orthos are different. I wouldn't worry.
Full upper and lower metal braces put on May 12, 2005.
Braces free as of April 18, 2006!
Temporarily rebraced Nov. 21, 2006. ( I think I've moved past temporary. )
Brace free again - July 26, 2007.

My appointments have mostly been 4 weeks, but 2 of the 5 I've had have been, "nope, hasn't moved/turned/whatevered enough yet", and the wire is retied anyway... (whatevered is an official dental technical term ).
My last one was 4 week gap, and then they say "tooth not rotated enough, come back in 6 weeks"...
Nothing to worry about me thinks.
