Just wanted to take a poll to see how long after getting braced you had your first adjustment. Thanks!

My adjustments are every 4 weeks all the time. I'm really happy with that because I feel like things are going faster (even though they aren't)

Just about every 4 weeks for my kid and I. Last one was 2/14, next one 3/14. We got braced on 10/6, so adj 5 here we come!

My 1st adjustment will be 8 weeks after my braces went on.

My 1st adjustment is Tuesday, March 14. That will be 8 weeks since being braced.
