I'm 6 months into treatment and just had a powerchain put on my top front teeth. (Very small gaps need to be closed...1/2-1 mm). Anyways, I was just on the phone and noticed I am spitting a bit when I talk, my f's are whistling when they want to, and my top lip is sticking to the power chain. Especially when I smile, my top lip gets all caught up on the top brackets.

Guess I'll have to wait and hope it improves. I know it's not a major issue, but it's funny how it becomes one when it happens to you.....lol.

Haha, I've whistled my F's since day one... It gets kind of old.

My bf has accidentally teased me for lisping, when it was my powerchain that was making the whistle! I laugh at it, because like you said, you don't know when it's going to happen!

I'm glad that I am at a call centre since I seem to be spitting a lot when I talk!
I also am having trouble with my F's, which is annoying since I say numbers all day (three, four).
So frustrating!
