The first month you have your expander in may be very difficult to talk and eat- at least it was for me- scary a little but it does get better although 3 months later I can still not say words with K G and ING normally so its a little embarrasing. Hope it goes well let me know.
I had my expander for 6 months. At the beginning, I noticed just like you that I had difficulties saying some words, sounds etc. After a while it seemed to me that I learned how to talk normal...and I am convinced of that because after I had it removed I didn't hear no change in the way I talked.
