When I first started scoping out the board, I thought I was really unusual for having 3-5 weeks between each adjustment, everyone else seemed to have 6-8! So far, looking at everyone's times, I think it's more unusual to have a shorter time than a longer time. However, each ortho is different, and each mouth is different, too.I go for adjustments every 4 weeks...but I think that is how my ortho works with all his patients.
With that said, 9 weeks is normal. So many people on this board don't go every 4 weeks...a lot go between 6 and up...
Don't worry about it...if anything, just ask your ortho why the adjustments are at such interval.
I like that mine are close together too for the same reasons. Plus I have really gotten to know my orthodontist and the ortho assistants, definitely a bonus!I completely agree with you jennandtonic!!!
I always look at my ticker and how at just 4 months today...I am having my 5th!!!!!! adjustment in 3 weeks...and then I see TONS of other tickers with people on their 7-8-9 months of having braces and are going on their 5-6th adjustments! lol.
But I really like the fact that mine are so close together...my wire always rubs my cheeks in my 2nd week after each adjustment so going in every 4 weeks is good. It also feels like time in braces go by faster just because those adjustments come by pretty fast.
