Hey BlahBlah you are looking great!

Hi Volare! Welcome!

I am also new in this lingual braces business Just 2 months since I've had mine.

Keep in touch and let us know your first impressions when you get them

Hi people, I see a lot of people worrying about speech problems. I was also worried and after 2 months of linguals I still wasn't feeling 100% comfortable about my speech. BUT...I just got a new job after going through an interview and all I can say is that nobody noticed any speech problems! :D I b...

Hey ibraceface I also lost around 11-12lbs. The lingual diet is the best diet out there

Hi people! How are you all doing? I am just wondering how many months it took you to be able to bite into food such as burgers and stuff. I am now one month and one week into lingual braces (upper and lower) and the best I can do is biting into bananas :x Cutting the double whopper into small pieces...

Yeeeeiiiiiiii!

You're lucky that your extractions are closing up...I will have to wait for several months before my gaps close up

Sorry to hear that ibraceface!! But I'm sure you'll manage through!! I can see from your posts that you are a brave, strong person

Just keep up the smile and before you know it you will be out of the cast and out of the braces

I'm sending you lots of love and hugs

I would be reeeeaaallyyy happy if I could bite down a BK some time soon

Pleasee tell me that I would be able to do it someday

I am 3 weeks into lingual braces treatment already...

Hey iBraceface I'm happy for you! I had a problem with a pointy bracket but that seems to be ok now....the tongue is used to it now yeeyyy

Hey can someone fast forward 18 months please?

I have ibraces. Things are finally getting better and my tongue is toughening up

I haven't used any wax so far

Hello Kate! I know what you mean (i've just had my braces as well)! Eating used to be such an enjoyable activity but now I am eating the same foods my grandmother is eating because she has no teeth haha. Hang on there, I think we will be able to bite into a Double Whopper in the near future :) Maybe...

Hello braces twin Nice to hear that there fellow sufferers around hehehe.

So how is it going for you ibraceface? For me it's getting better but my tongue is still aching a lot. Hopefully it will get better

Hi Lionfish. Nice to meet you

I will surely keep you posted...so far so good

Hi everybody!! I just got my lingual braces last week (upper and lower) and 3 teeth extracted 2 days ago oooouuuuccccchhhhhhh!!!! Upper linguals were ok but lower ones are still giving me trouble. Eating is getting better though . :D I hope I had done this when I was a kid...I'm almost 30 now :oops:
