Did any of you notice that slurred occasionally when you got your power chains? I'm noticing that now and it drives me nuts! It can't be my imagination. Sometimes, I swear I hear a slight whistle even!

I guess it's present all the time, but definitely more noticable when I am tired.
Whatever!

It's a two year process.......
Well, I haven't had the slurring, but I was on the telephone with a girlfriend the other day and I kept hearing this whistling sound. So, I'm telling her this story and I'm looking all around my den trying to figure out where the whistling is coming from...then I realized that it went away when I stopped talking
I didn't even have the nerve to tell my friend! Though I'm sure she would've found it quite amusing since she just recently got her braces off!

I guess you could call it slurring... I have noticed that my speech was affected with my last adjustment. I have really thick square wires on both arches and powerchains across all my uppers and lowers.
In my case, I think it has to do with the profile of the wire with the powerchains - my braces stick out further than ever before! It is definitely giving my lips extra work when I talk, so I think I sound funny, but I'm not sure anyone else notices.
I haven't noticed any whistling yet, that could be funny!![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
