Nearly 12 months in and I have lost and kept off 10 kilos. No sign of it returning even though my diet is 95% the same as Pre braces. There's hope ladies!

Hi guys, it's Katie, the original poster. So it's coming up to 12 months and I am very happy with my decision to get lingual.

Hey gang, Katie from the Gold Coast Australia here. Firstly, a big thanks - I have been lurking for yonks. Found you all to be supportive and inspirational. Anyway, they're on! Speech is not great (I think mainly due to the wax, which I've been told to keep on for the first week). More importantly, ...
