**** I've been gone quite a long time. However I'm still breathing though it's touch and go. Don't expect me to answer or check in much. ****Welcome to the junkdrawer that is my brain! I know something about many things, and I if I don't know it, I admit that I don't know. That I am constantly finding things I know nothing about and correcting that ignorance keeps me busy and happy. More junk for the drawer.
I love and have experience with many types of animals, including the human. I don't offend easy and I am generally cynical and a smart-butt. I love to drive, read, work on the computer and I spend WAY too much time watching Anime and bidding on ebay.

I just got braces a few weeks ago and my ortho told me that I would get them tightened every 3 months. But when I talked to all my friends who have had braces, they all said that they got theirs tightened every month. So my question is, what is the normal amount of time that is supposed to be between getting ur braces tightened? Is it one month or 3 months? I really want my teeth to move fast because I hate my braces and I want them off ASAP, so if I tell my ortho to tighten them more often (once a month instead of once every 3 months) will my teeth move faster? I think that maybe my ortho said I would get them tightened once every three months so that i would have to wear my braces longer and then he would make more money. (we pay him every month I have my braces on) Sorry this was long and confusing. Please help i'll rate 5's!
Every mouth is different. A doctor decides when to tighten based on what problems your teeth present and what the goals of your treatment are. I wouldn't rush what your doctor plans for you. The results of your braces depend on him going at the pace of your mouth's needs. Plus the faster the teeth are moved the more likely it is that once the braces are off they will shift out of place. In the long run you will have much better results than your friends. Luck!
