hey there,
nice results! i got 2 questions for you:

-how do you feel with those retainers ? (speech-wise in particular). I wonder because in two months I will wear the same retainers as you...Im a bit worried about my speech since I had a palatal expander in my treatment for 5 months and never got used to it...

-do people actually see the retainers when you have it on? seems pretty invisible...

thank you

The first day I wore the Essix retainers I found it difficult to pronounce the letter F . If I tried to say Fork it would sound like Pork lol.It was because no air could slip through my front teeth.I got used to it though.Your retainers look short in the pics. Does it cover your entire tooth? Mine were cut higher and it goes just up to the gums.The top one is SUPER tight on me!
