I thought I said that these were "according to the claims" however, I can say that this was also the information my orthodontist gave me. He said that self ligating braces apply continuous, low intensity force, and that because of this it is not recommended to adjust them less than 8 weeks apart and that there is risk of root reabsorption, especially in older patients if adjustments are done too frequently or over a very short duration of time.
