A member asked:
Any advice? i have had my braces on for a month and a half and i still can't talk, my speech or very bad , is that normal?

Talk Practice: Get a book, magazine, newspaper - stand or sit in front of a mirror and slowly read aloud allowing your speech and cheeks and tongue to exaggerate each syllable sound; soon you will find that your face and mouth will accommodate to the braces being in place.
