Retainer Lisp

#1 Post by Sarah22 »

Grr, this lisp seems to have got no better in the past 5 days.... in saying that sometimes sentences come out perfect and others are completely muffled. People are having trouble understanding me : (

On the plus side, I do have brilliant new teeth, and meal time is a joy (get to leave the retainers in their case for a while!!)
