thanks for posting this helpful info. I'm thinking of getting lingual braces. how long did your lisp last? i barely noticed it. does your tongue get caught, or cut by the braces. how long does the soreness last. does the pain start again after each adjustment? is it difficult to brush your teeth with the braces on ? thanks in advance for answering

@aberdaber55 hiya

how long did your lisp last? about a month

does your tongue get caught, or cut by the braces? yes!! rubbed raw, cut by wires, caught v v ocasionally. All worth it though!

does the pain start again after each adjustment? yes to varying degrees. sometimes 2-3 days, sometimes about an hour! less as time goes on and the adjustments being made are slower

is it difficult to brush your teeth with the braces on ? yes but with a waterpik you're laughing

@michleng17 how are you now?

just got my incognito braces today (well on my lower jaw. the upper one will be in about a month), and so far it's not comfortable, but your video cheered me up. i hope it will get better soon

@verloren82 how are you finding things now?

@leilimn yeah mine was effected pretty badly for a while. i had a really bad lisp for the first week but it disappears slowly over time.

The lower jaw ones can only be seen if you open your mouth pretty widely (yawning, manic laughing, etc) but i didn't tell one of my best friends until about 5 weeks after i had them put it and i talk to her a lot every day so they can't be that obvious lol

@lilmisshappygolucky does it affect your talking? I'm planning to get them in a week but I'm not sure. I don't want them if they affect speaking. and can those in the lower jaw be seen when you talk with people. My wedding is going to be in a year, certainly before my treatment is over, so I don't want the guests to notice lingual braces in the back of the bride's lower teeth. Thanks a lot for your answer in advance. wish you a comfortable treatment!
