I'm having more trouble talking w/ my lower braces than my top...its annoying and hard when I say words that start w/ "B", "P", "M", etc. Its like I have to pull my lip up over my bottom teeth in a weird obvious way and I'm totally self-conscience about it, but I guess it will get better once my teeth move in more!
