Metal Mouth Message Board

My adjustments take place every 6 weeks wheras i read that most peoples are every four weeks. I thought to begin with it was only my 1st adjustment that took place after 6 weeks, i have later learned this is the time for every adjustment. Why is this longer than most?

Many Thanks

mine are every 6 weeks

newmetal, people vary on how often they go depending on what is to be done and what kind of braces they are wearing. I have gone anywhere from 3 weeks to 10 weeks. (We are all different and the orthodontist determines the time depending on what is happening in our mouths).

Mine have always been every 6 weeks...just now with a bite plate has he upped it to every 3 weeks.

Mine are about every 6 weeks too.

Mine have been either 8 or 10 weeks. So I've only had 3 adjustments since I was braced in Jan. That's fine with me!

Mine have been averaging every 5-6 weeks. I think this is pretty normal.

I believe mine will be on a every eight week rotation. I wish it was six weeks. It would make the process seem less expensive per chair time plus it might be quicker.

Mine are every 4-5 weeks, but this next one will be in three weeks!

Mine began as every 6 weeks but like yours have recently been reduced to just 4 as i'm in the latter stages of treatment now which suits me!!

Right now mine is set for 5 weeks I'm sure it will probley change

Mine have been anything from 4 to 8 weeks, and there is no set pattern to it.

All of my adjustments were 8 weeks.

i am supposed to go every 8 weeks but do to them being booked i dont usually get in until 10 weeks and sometimes 12 weeks... talk about DELAYING YOUR TREATMENT!!! this sucks!

Mine was 3 weeks to the day I got braced and my 2nd is scheduled for 8 weeks , then doc says we'll play it by ear.
