is it strange to go every 2 weeks? My ortho makes me go every 2 weeks. My teeth are moving at a very fast rate. I should question him the next time I'm there.

2 weeks seems very often. Be careful that your ortho isn't trying to move your teeth around too fast.. I've heard of horror stories where you can really do some damage if you move them too fast.

I started with 6 weeks which lasted for over a year, and then at 4 weeks which lasted for a few months, and now we're at 3 weeks. I don't know if it's ever normally just 2 weeks? Maybe at the very end?
