No pictures as yet. But I might take some soon and get those up. I'm pretty happy with things as they are. Just one thing though. I HATE my permanent retainer. I thought my old Hawleys were bad in round one but this thing, ugh, I hate it. I'm not trying to put anyone off, it might work great for you...

Hi everyone :) I've been lurking on the board for a few days now and I have a few questions if that's okay with you fellow IA wearers out there. I got my IA on Tuesday and have been wearing it about 22+ hours a day since and I have to say I'm struggling, particularly at work. Speech is hard- its not...
