Thanks to you both! I try not to worry about the long term retainer issue, I'll deal with that when I get there. Thats a long time down the road for me I think!
I see what you mean about the Rainbow piece it really does cover pretty much everthing. You don't know how much I've wander around practicing saying random words over the last few months LOL! For the first few weeks I became a bit of a recluse and either wouldn't talk to people or somtimes removed them before answering the phone. After that it didn't worry me so much but I'd love to be able to get rid of this lisp. It's not major but still quite noticable. My ortho says I'm one of the few who just have to live it. To be honest I was grasping at straws when I asked and am accepting thats just the way it will be. I have a lot of public contact in my new job and once in a while have to give a presentation. I must admit the first couple of times I took them out and put them in my handbag but now I just say screw it and people can cope. Actually friends were more of a problem since they noticed the change. Maybe I'm the only one who really cares? Actaully I suspect it the lower one that does it most because of the proximity to the tonge?
Despite all that I'm quite happy with them and don't have as much problems with foods as the brackets. Some oriental type noodals get hung up so I avoid those now. I'm have an appointment next week and I think I get some elastic added so will be interested to see how that goes. I'm curious to know how other fare with problem foods?
