Since I've been braced it seems that people are talking over me! Every time I try to start to speak it's almost like they can't hear me and it's really starting to get on my nerves
I guess I spoke low before my braces,so my daughter tells me. Anyone else have the same problem or similar?? It even happens to me when I'm on the phone
Age 40
Braced on Aug.9,2010
Est.treatment time:18mo
In-ovation/top and bottom
My husband can't hear me half the time. So he seems like he is ignoring me. Is it the braces or his hearing, I don't know. I have a hard time speaking lately. I'm sure it'll get better.
BRACED: July 27th 2010
Overjet 8mm, crowding, small arches...Sugery to Come......
It happens to me too...even before braces....sometimes people are more interested in what they have to say, rather than listening to others.....so I'm sure that although annoying, it has nothing to do with you!!!!!
