Linguals & Clarity braces in London

My laptop died so my latest pictures are on that.
Good news is that my bottom teeth are extremely straight now! I'll post pics as soon as my laptop is fixed.

Bad news is that I got the lingual braces put on my uppers 3 weeks ago and cannot get used to the lisp I have!

I thought it would go away in a few days or in a couple of weeks, yet here I am just over 3 weeks later and still lisping just as bad. People noticed the lisp straight away - or maybe it was because I was more self conscious? I'm more used to the lisp now, but it's not gotten any better. The word 'Flustered' is pretty difficult to say.

I'm just counting down the days for them to be taken out. They have also made me self conscious about my ceramics. I'd gotten so used to having them in I used to forget about them, but now I'm constantly aware of how I sound, and how open my mouth is when I'm fighting to pronounce words in case my lower ceramics show! It's definitely a battle!

Everyone keeps saying it'll get better. I don't want to be here in 3 months thinking: no it hasn't!
