I had braces on my front four teeth, a pallete expander, and headgear when I was 12. I was told that it would completely fix my stutter. Biggest disappointment of my life....

I just got my braces taken off, I'm about to turn 26 in 3 weeks. Literally saw no change. :/...

I didn't necessarily receive braces when I was an adult, but I had been stuttering for years before I got them. I was 17 when I got my braces and I had them taken off at 22. I have found that while I ...

Hi, I can't see the deleted comments you're replying to, but does it only stress out your nervous system and mess up your dopamine levels if you're addicted and doing it way too much? I mean, I get ...

I think all of those programs....SLP, coastal breathing, medication, changing your diet, McGuire program, Speecheasy, hypnosis ....You name it.....they are praying upon a REALLY DESPERATE POPULATION.....

I'm prescribed xanax as well, but on an as needed basis. I don't think it's a long term solution either. Saphris is a relatively new drug that is supposed to have the least side effects out of all of ...

Xanax helps me block less, but I'm weary of taking it for longer periods due to tolerance build up and potential addiction. Beta blockers had no effect for me and I never tried antipsychotis due to a...

I think that propanolol can be helpful but not for everyone. It blocks adrenaline so it helps in situatuions that cause nervousness and high stress. The thing is that I would stutter in situations tha...

At first they were awful, to the point of making me stutter even more. I had the constant feeling of a block in my throat (mouth numbness is common) and extreme sleepiness. In fact, the first time tha...
