Re: How often are your visits?
My first adjustment was supposed to be 5 weeks, but I had to change my appointment so it was close to 6 weeks. My next adjustment appointments at exactly 4 weeks. I was told the first appointments will be 4-6 weeks then later on 6-8 weeks. We'll see though.
Re: How often are your visits?
My first adjustment was supposed to be at 4 weeks, but they had to reschedule it and I had it at 3 weeks instead. They said 4 to 6 weeks for my next appointment; I scheduled it at 4 weeks.
Round 3 (lifetime) Damon stainless applied 3/16/20 (after 4 weeks attempting invisalign) On for about 18 months
Night time elastics with invisalign retainers; still...
Double jaw surgery was 6/18/15...
Orthodontics never really ends...
I'm emphatically against extraction orthodontics!

Re: How often are your visits?
I got my Damon braces on June 3rd and my first adjustment is 10 weeks from that date.
Re: How often are your visits?
Every 6 weeks- I have self-ligating braces.

Re: How often are your visits?
I have ceramic on top and metal on the bottom. I go every 6 weeks.
Re: How often are your visits?
4 to 7 weeks depending on progress and how long my ortho thinks I need!
I had to do a couple of reschedules due to business travel that I think pushed one gap out to 8 weeks, but that wasn't the plan.
I was slightly baffled by the instruction for 7 weeks between my last appointment and the next one, but I'm sure my ortho knows what he's doing! (Thankfully I'm in the UK where my ortho does everything, and the assistant just passes him the ligs or whatever. I can't believe you barely get any time with the actual ortho in the US!)

Re: How often are your visits?
I've gone every 6 weeks so far (braced 3/7/14!), but my powerchain broke at 4.5 weeks so I went in early. I was told to return in 5 weeks, but then the ortho is on vacation, so it's back to 6 weeks for me
I figured I'd think about it this way - the longer the number of weeks I go between visits, the more chance my teeth have to move into the correct alignment, so it doesn't matter how long I go. I WANT MY TEETH TO MOVE!!!!

Re: How often are your visits?
Initially I was told that I was supposed to visit every 4-6 weeks. So far, I have been scheduled each time to go in every four weeks. I have had five follow-up appointments so far (not including the first one to put on the braces).

Re: How often are your visits?
I've been regularly every 4 weeks. I just got a TAD put in to even out my top teeth and due to that I have to make a 2 week visit, which is turning into a 1 week visit since it's already loose :(

Re: How often are your visits?
Currently I seem to be every 8 weeks, as I just had my first adjustment today (8 weeks since bonding) and my next one is 8 weeks from now. However in December I will be having Wilckodontics surgery on my top jaw which is going to cause my tooth movement to go into hyperdrive for 6 months, so I've been told adjustments will be every two weeks during that rapid movement phase.
Re: How often are your visits?
My visits are every 4 weeks and I only have the upper Damon brace on as of yet. My lower ones will be put on in 2 weeks time!
