Back to school time means schedules, sports, homework and all the things families navigate together including their orthodontic appointments. For braces treatment plans it is important to have regular adjustment and checks (usually every 4-8 weeks on average). For Invisalign aligner treatment plans, regular checks are less frequent but equally as important (usually every 8-12 weeks on average). Regular appointments are needed to monitor the movement of teeth towards the treatment goals and complete the next steps or adjustments needed to get there. It is also important to check the care of the braces and the dental health that can be affected by oral appliances.
