I don't know what type of appliances you have. Can you take a picture? I'm wondering if it's a palate expander. I know if you get uppers and lowers on at the same time it takes time to speak normally again. You might be surprised that you will start speaking normal real soon and be ready for when school starts.
Your hubby is probably trying to be very supportive and not want to hurt you right now.My husband has been very supportive and we really didnt try to kiss the first week. I've had braces for 6 weeks now and things are back to normal. You will kiss again,just like you used to.

It's pathetic but I do not even know the name of my appliances. I just know that the top one is a palate expander and I will have both appliances for 5-6 months. I'm sure it was really diffficult working as a counselor. I know how much talking your job requires. I'm glad it worked out for me to do this in the summer, so I have a little time to adjust. I will look forward to the end results. Thanks!
Stich The ibuprofen has helped. I feel pretty good now. I'm still working on the improving my speech, which will seriously improve my attitude.
Well thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm heading out tomorrow to visit my mom for a few days. I'm sure she will think I'm completely crazy when she finds out that I'm getting braces!!
