Alcohol makes my speech bad again even 3 month in. I sound v drunk after a glass of wine. Somehow if I have one too many I always have a sore tongue again the next day. I guess it makes your tongue lazy and it cat he's the brackets.

Sorry, I'm on my iPhone. That should say 'it CATCHES the brackets'.
Can't find how to edit my post

Sounds like you're doing really well given you've only had them on for a few days. In my first week my speech was terrible and my tongue was really really sore, but it soon improved. (Incidentally I was surprised that you said wine made it worse, since alcohol always seemed to make it better for me!)

Thank you

Well I managed to get back on track last night with my speech & was doing pretty good. Took me all day though to get there.

Woke up this morning & it seems to have stuck for now. But it comes & goes. Seems like I sometimes forget what to do with my tongue.

Sat at work at the moment & I def don't sound as bad as I did on Friday afternoon when I tried going without my wax.

I've spoken to a few customers & seemed ok. Sometimes it crept back but not to the stage I was at before.

Sometimes it sounds like I have a lisp mind convo & when I don't sound lispy I don't sound like me I don't think. I sound like I have braces if that makes sense or something in my mouth. I'm hoping this will go but I don't think i'll ever sound like me not until they come off

I'm suprised that alcohol made it better as alcohol makes you dehydrated.
I found my tongue was rubbing on my brackets more & was all cut up by the end of the night. I only had 3 glasses of wine too. I couldn't talk at the end of the night was far too painful & my tongue was just running wild lol.

Btw trying to answer as many calls as possible at work today as it's all practice & going to help. Plus it's about confidence.
