DS (13) had his braces fitted today. Fixed brace, top and bottom teeth. Orthodontist has booked him in to be seen again in 12 weeks?! Everything I've read online since suggests the norm is 4-6 weeks, 8 at the outside...anyone else experienced this long gap between appointments? Sorry, should have questioned it today but this is all new to me (not had braces myself) until DH questioned it...
