My ortho tends to recall me every 2 weeks to change the write for both or sometimes 1 arch only
The ligatures gets changed every time, but I am just wondering, if I get recalled every 2 months and sometimes the wire doesn't even get changed, does it mean people that get recalled every month doesn't get the wire changed also? Just the ligatures?
I go every 4 weeks. Each time I get new ligs.
Up until my June appointment, I got new wires each time too. The last time I got a new wire on the lower arch but not upper. I go back next Thursday.
