Metal Mouth Message Board

I go about every 8 weeks. So once every 2 months. I'm curious if that's the standard or not.

I have been going every 4 weeks for adjustments for the past 8 months that I have had braces. I have regular metal braces.

I have self-ligating braces. I go every 4-6 weeks. I don't always make it the full time though because there always seems to be something going on in-between, like a pokey wire or hook that slides out of place.

My first adjustment was 7 weeks in, my 2nd will be after 4 weeks. It seems to vary but generally anywhere between 4 and 8 weeks I think is normal.

every 4 weeks for me...and my son has had his braces for over a year and it's always been every 4 weeks.

I go every 6 weeks.

Mine are usually every 6 weeks.

I go every three weeks. Ligatures are changed every time and sometimes new wires.

I'm told I'll go every 4 weeks.

Adjustments for me are 8-10 weeks. I rarely make it that long though. Lots of gaps being closed means lots of visits for pokey wires to be cut.

I go every 10-12 weeks, which is really long compared to some others on here, although my treatment is through the NHS...

About every 4 weeks, so far but I've only had 2 adjustments.

I'm NHS too, my appointments are every 10 or 12 weeks. I think this is because I had root damage fom previous orthodontic work. I have a friend with braces on the NHS too, his are every 6 weeks. When I had them as a teenager (again on NhS) it was every 4/6 weeks.

I was told every 6 weeks but I have my first adjustment in 5 weeks.

Since I've been braced (6 months), I go every 4 weeks.
