These days, most orthodontists or dentists don't tighten your braces. Most of them just Put in a bigger wire each time you have a checkup. This procedure can hurt the first two days. Not as bad as when you get your braces though.

∙ 13y agoThe first few visits will be more frequent but once the braces are placed, we usually will see you every 5-8 weeks. More frequent visits don't usually shorten the length of treatment, as time is needed in between visits to allow for the physiologic tooth movement. Missed appointments, however, can lengthen treatment time.
