How Often Should I Have My Braces Adjusted by My UK Orthodontist?

Adjustment appointments with your UK orthodontist are typically scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks, although some brace systems may allow for these appointments to last 8 to 10 weeks. It is essential that your orthodontist regularly reviews and supervises your treatment. There is no exact rule about how often an orthodontic patient needs to readjust their orthodontic appliances, but generally you should visit your orthodontist every four to six weeks, and only have your braces tightened every six months. Some orthodontists work with orthodontic therapists who can adjust orthodontic appliances under the supervision of the orthodontist.
