A follow up from my post a month or so ago... I was bonded with Lingualcare a little over a month ago. At this point I would say my speech is basically 99%. Most of the time I forget I am even wearing lingual braces. Also my eating is normal, though I obviously watch out for very hard foods, as I don't want to risk popping a bracket loose.
I have been very pleased how much improvement I have seen in only a month. Not even a single person from work has noticed my lingual braces yet (or at least they haven't said anything), and I have been involved in several client lunch meetings, etc.
So far, so good. My ortho will not predict how long I'll be wearing these, but my guess is a year at most. Since no one notices them anyway, it doesn't really matter how long I wear them. This ended up being a great solution for me, as my crowding was probably a bit too severe for Invisalign, plus I wasn't a fan of having to take aligners in and out everyday and keep track of them while I eat, etc.
one month with Lingualcare
