Metal Mouth Message Board

I have no screws and no elastic, but I will need screws. Teefies, for me it is the same, sometimes it seems more difficult than other days. But whenever I have sore tongue, it is more difficult. What helps me is washing my mouth with warm water with salt, in the evening. And if I feel not speaking w...

I had my lowers 7 weeks ago and my uppers only 1 week ago. I have not written for a while, here is an update. Speech. At the beginning, immediately after having them on, I had the impression that they were worse than the lowers. Actually, the adaptation process was much shorter. I think it is probab...

I do agree with you, there are words that are difficult but also words that in themselves are not difficult but they become so in combination with others. I also experienced that when I talk much it gets worse, but also that in the morning, when tongue is still "lazy" it is also bad. Also,...

Your "chronic sore throat" made me laugh so much!!! just wanted to ask, how are you doing? Did you improve further? I did improve, but I am still fighting a bit with the "z" (I am italian and we have a "z" much harder than yours in English, and that is the worse I have)...

I don't have really any new advise (I also followed the very useful ones I read in this forum), just wanted to comment. I have had lowers only, for the moment, for 10 days. My lisping is not that bad (I have only lowers, so actually it is easier) but what I noticed is that when I am too much aware o...

I am doing pretty fine, thank you for asking. My speech is more or less as it was on Friday, "z" and some "s" are still difficult, especially in the evening or just awake. I don't know if the other notice, it is probably true that we hear the differences much more than the others...

They are there! a mix of feelings... let me tell you from beginning. Took about two hours we put them on, it was not pleasant but not even worse than what it is usually when you go to a dentist. When I was done, I was leaving the medical office, I met a friend (to tell the truth not really a friend ...

good, really good to hear that you feel it was the right choice, I really do admire your awareness and the way you seem to have faced the situation. well... I do not hide that for me, starting tomorrow, is kind of scary, but I do not want to seem "egoistic", just that now I am really nervo...

Thanks to you also Triggerhart, I hope that your speech issues might resolve. I do understand your frustration... speaking is so important and pervasive in our lives.
How long have you been wearing them?
Apparently it is not long, right?
I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks BecStar for your reply and for sharing your experience. It is somehow reassuring to have the idea of belonging to a community of people living the same kind of experience. I am putting the lower on first, that, from what I get from the forum is usually "easier" and in my case it is ...

Hi all, I am new to this forum. I just browsed around and found a lot of interesting informations, and some scaring ones... but that is probably just meaning I am becoming more aware of what is going to be. I am putting incognito, starting from the lower in two days, and, useless to say, I am really...
