I had the f pronunciation problem too! It was embarrassing because sometimes the whistle was so loud (maybe this was just in my head). It only happens once in a while now- I am happy that experience is over

Tops never felt bulky.
Bottoms feel like I have so much going off in there, saliva just seems to stick around the bottoms so I end up sounding rather salivary when talking - gross.

To make matters worse though, I have bits of glue on the upper molars to stop me biting the brackets off; one side is higher than the other. My bite is off too, my bottom canine keeps hitting my bicuspid, it feels so loose now from all the probable grinding I've done in my sleep.

So basically, my whole mouth feels like one big bulk.

I'm on week 2.

I'm just over 2 months in and my bottom canine finally stopped hitting my top bicuspid 2 weeks ago! There is hope for you! ;)

I'm so glad I'm not alone! I hope mine go into alignment as quickly too. Very annoying when I have to keep being careful eating.

I'd say about a month for me.
