I have had a bite plate for about two months. I keep on thinking my lisp is going to go away, but I still have a bit of one with the bite plate in. It goes away when I remove it. It seems to be secure in the roof of my mouth.
I'm also wondering about switching from ceramics to metal. Two easy questions for those of you with a bite plate, has your lisp gone away? Do you have metal or ceramics? I'm wondering if the smaller size of the metals would help reduce the lisp.

Bite Plate Question
I wore braces (this time) for 1294 days or 3 years, 6 months and 17 days.
But who's counting?

The lisp goes away, when you stop wearing it LOL
I could not wear mine at all during the day, just could not get to a point where I could be understood -
Ortho applied epoxy to the bottom mollars to keep me from bisting off my brackets
Still have the original bite guard, thinking of listing on ebay . . . . . .

Do you have metal or ceramic braces? After six weeks I really expected my lisp to lessen versus getting worse. If its not getting worse, it sure isn't getting better.
