John a six week wait is fine and will give your mouth plenty of time to heal and feel good again.

The practise I work for, requests a two week gap minimum for non braced clients if they have a tooth (or teeth) removed. It doesn't happen often, and the one case I've worked with this year, had a four week gap before coming back for his banding day.

Take great care of your extractions sites and good luck with your treatment!
