My speech is slowly getting a bit better,got bracket re-attached yesterday,my lower teeth are very tender at the moment anyway but god with that bit extra tension I am struggling to brush even with a manual toothbrush,but I just keep telling myself it will be worth the discomfort in the long run,hop...
