How many spit now when you are talking since having braces!?
I have noticed since having my braces on that I spit when I talk, which is quite embarrassing. I have to excuse myself and tell them that I do it because of the braces. Maybe I should keep disposible cloths with me to hand out when I talk. You think?! I also have a hard time pronouncing my words, especially when I am reading out loud.
I am a nurse so when I give report I am in close quaters and end up spitting on my report sheet. and sometimes theirs . OOPS!

Spit, drool...yeah all of it seems to come with the territory and at the most inopportune times! Elastics make the spitting waaay worse, I've noticed.
Full upper and lower metal braces put on May 12, 2005.
Braces free as of April 18, 2006!
Temporarily rebraced Nov. 21, 2006. ( I think I've moved past temporary. )
Brace free again - July 26, 2007.

Now that you ask... One night, watching TV on the sofa, I casually said something to my b/f and simultaneously shot a tiny little saliva sample half way across the room. It was very embarrassing

I spit too. It's funny because I'll be talking and all of the sudden I see spit fly. I watch the people I'm talking to and they'll watch it fall to the floor. lol
I can also tell if I've been talking to much because my mouth becomes really dry and my spit turns to little bubbles...if that makes any sense.
