Yeah. I can’t normally speak correctly. I have trouble saying “k”, “c”, and “s” especially, but also some trouble with “r”… ☹ ---

I was told once that I needed braces aswell, and after clobbing the denstist, I got a nightretainer aswell 🙂 (I didn’t really clobber him, he actually gave me a choice :party: ) I wore it for only one week, waking up in the morning with slobber all over the pillow, and finding your retainer under the bed, covered in schmuts isn’t all that haha… Thankfully that was 10 years ago, and my teeth are fine… stupid dentist… ---

in one swift motion I knocked my retainer off the shelf, out of the case (it was partly open) and onto the floor where I stepped on it with shoes and it shattered. lol it sucked, I had to go in for those awful imprint things, where they fill your mouth with like clay 🙂 ---

I have a lisp and I speak too fast… I probably should have braces but really don’t want them at all (I’d rather have them later). ---

You do? Ha! I’m not alone! 😃 I really, really, really didn’t want braces at first. I was more or less forced into it, but I’m really glad I did. ---
