Poll: First Adjustment
At your first adjustment, how much work was done? Did you get new wires, elastics, powerchains, etc.

At my first adjustment which was 4 weeks after getting braced, I had my ligs changed and my canine that is in a crossbite position got a lig AND a tie wire...the ends of the wire were also cut.
I am having my 2nd adjustment tomorrow and I'm really hoping for something more than just a lig change...

Gosh you know what? I can't remember! I think they replaced one of my wires and adjusted my spring! Scary that I can't remember and good in a way. Hopefully soon all this will become a dim memory.
They haven't replace any wires in my mouth now for like 3 months. It will be 4 1/2 months with no wire replacement by the time I have my next adjustment in April. They did reposition brackets though.

My first adjustment was six weeks after being braced. They changed my wire and put on new ligs. Also at this time they put the archwire through to all the molars.
They put back on the same springs that are over my two baby teeth making room for my impacted canines when they come down.

I just had my 1st adjustment last week. It was after 6 weeks. The ligs were changed. They took off ligs and put on wire ties on all the top front teeth. They added a spring on the top to push some teeth apart so they can straighten out. The wire was not changed.
It was a quick appointment and my teeth weren't too sore after.
