After 3.5 yrs of braces, I'm stuck with a retainer.
Any advice to help my STOP lisping? I have top and bottom REtainer. My mom laughs at me for talking funny now. Oh the pain in my heart.

the bottom one is the killer. i got a perminant one put in bc i couldnt stand it. i couldnt talk at all. let alone i stutter so that made it like 100 times worse.
i got use to the top on easy tho. thats not hard at all.

ah no the top was evil! i couldn't swallow...ALL I KNOW IS DON"T TAKE IT OUT...i had 4.5 years of braces and now it looks like i didn't have them at all, just because my babysitter forgot to take me to the orthodauntist so i could get my retainer and the fact that i had 7 retainers in like 3 months because i hated them and threw them out...lol but WEAR THEM! if you do then you only have to wear it at night

You can't stop the lisping, trust me. I got my retainers taken out finally. That stupid lisp sucked.

I practiced saying tongue twisters... the more you practice the more your tongue will learn how to conform to speak with the retainer...
or, you could ask if you get a permanent one put in... I did that in the end... only because I think it gorss to have to take my retainer on and off all the time

HAHA. I know what you mean. But I mastered the art of taking it out in stealth mode because i always took it out in school and no one wants to see that shit right?Originally posted by itsme@Apr 18 2004, 03:33 PM

I still kinda have the lisp thing going on and everyone always asks me "what are you eating?" because I still talk weird
The last time I had one in I got used to it though, and when you finally take it out you talk really well articulated lol.
I wish I were a spy.
