Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 Today I am 10 weeks post-op (upper/lower). I had my splint & wires removed about 10 days ago, and today got the OK from my surgeon to start eating soft foods. As I'm starting to talk more, I realize that i still have a lisp. Even before my surgery, becuase I had a severe underbite, I had a lisp. I still have it now, even now its more pronounced, and not just on my " S " sounds, but my " V " , " L " and various others. I know that my tounge and upper jaw/roof of mouth is still numb, so I'm thinking maybe this has something to do with why I'm talking this way? My jaws are set perfectly now, so I think I would not have a lisp. I wonder if I may need speech therapy in the future. Anyone have any similar experience? Thanks!
