Looking back I wish I had gone to a place that offered Damon..You are on your way with 10 months done already! Congrats!TheProfessor wrote:My adjustments have been every 8 weeks since my braces were installed over 10 months ago. I have Damon self-ligating brackets. I'm guessing that my appointments will get closer together when I enter the "finishing" phase.

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
For the first 3ish months, I was going to the ortho about twice a month because I had a lot of different things going on, including a fitting and installation of a palatal bar.
Now that things are moving along, I'm at 6 weeks.

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
I was wondering why my ligs were looking so yellow, it's been 13 weeks since I had an adjustment! I've got one this week though.

If you got clear they tend to get yellow with some food, and drinks. Specially coffee..I drink mine with a straw nowUglybetty1 wrote:I was wondering why my ligs were looking so yellow, it's been 13 weeks since I had an adjustment! I've got one this week though.

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
I only have my braces on for 4 months now.
i do my adjustments every 7 weeks but I stop in around week 4 to have the ligs changed. The office I go to is fantastic and tell their radiance (clear) brace patients just to call and they can fit us in to refreshen our ligs.

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
I've gone every three weeks, with the exception of one time which was 4 weeks, since the beginning of my treatment.
Mine come off in 3 weeks... WOO HOO!!!

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
I normally go every 4 weeks. Although due to scheduling conflicts, I just had to wait 6 weeks, and it was torture!
Re: How aften are your adjustments?
I have mine every 4-5weeks!
Re: How aften are your adjustments?
My adjustment has been every 4 weeks to the exact day, but that doesn't mean I get wire change at every adjustment. I believe I've only had three wire changes and I just made 6 months.

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
Just had my first adjustment after 4 weeks of being braced. My next one isn't for another 7 weeks though! Seems like it varies between that range.
Re: How aften are your adjustments?
Had mine put on today and the first adjustment is in 10 weeks!!!!

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
Mine are usually 6 weeks. A couple were 5 and 4 weeks. But it's usually every 6.
Re: How aften are your adjustments?
My first will be 4 weeks, but I think that is just to coincide with my daughter's so we can get our appointments synced.
I believe they will be 6 weeks generally.

Re: How aften are your adjustments?
Mine are always either 6 weeks or 8 weeks apart. Typically they are 8 weeks apart. But I've had the odd 6 weeks apart appointment here and there.
