extended timeperiod between adjustments

I usually have an adjustment approximately every 4 weeks. This month, I had to reschedule my original appointment due to work conflicts... but I couldn't get another appointment until almost 3 weeks after my original appointment! I asked my ortho to call if he has any cancellations sooner, but in the meantime I am looking at going almost 7 weeks in between adjustments, compared to my usual 4 weeks. Is this okay!?!?!?!?

Don't worry, seven weeks is not bad. My regular appointments are 6 weeks apart, so one week more won't hurt anything. The whole othrodontic process is a slow one so don't be too concerned with extended amounts of time between visits.

My last adjustment was in November (because I moved).
I feel that is really long, but OK with me because I am not in pain!!!

7 weeks is nothing compared to 3 months!!! Usually my apppointments were every 4 weeks.

No harm!

My appointments were 8-11 weeks apart throughout my treatment.

The wires continue to work for quite some time and don't need much attention. You may have just gotten "re-tied" at that appointment and delaying that by 3 weeks won't make a bit of difference in your treatment.

It'll be just fine...
