Girl! I promise you the initial brace lisp will go away! Take it from someone who has been in braces for 4 years😩…it’s definitely a struggle! And I cried not because I couldn’t talk but because it hurt to eat for the first few days! But you’ll get used to them… and the end results will be totally worth it so hang in there! You’re still gorgeous if not more😍💕…

@@LeaToshiye promise you it will get better!!! Only parts that will suck is getting them tightened every so often which will cause the soreness again! But I like to just look at it as if you feel pain that means the braces are doing their job🙌🏾…I had to get teeth extracted so the spaces from those are almost gone! Hopefully by next year mine will be off! But I have a feeling I’ll miss them😫😂!

You’re far from ugly, you are so beautiful! It doesn’t matter what you do, you could have a full on headgear and still look good. I think your speech will get better and just think about how relatable it will be to so many people ❤ I love the braces on you

Thank u sm 🥺🫶🏽 ur so sweet! Honestly, give me headgear at this point lol I really really hope my speech gets better over time 🙏🏽 if it does, u guys will see! Thank u ❤

I also recently injured my lower back and can no longer do squats or rdls. I switched to doing lunges, step ups, and more hamstring curls and hamstring stretching (in a way that doesn’t round my lower back) and it’s really helped me!! Don’t be too distraught by your diagnosis. It can feel better. I’ve also found so,e stretches and bends that make my back feel better.

I love you Lea Lea 🫂🤍 I miss your infectious energy and always enjoy tuning in to your vlogs!

Babe! I had to pause the video when you did your braces reveal to just say (and that I so feel your emotions); that you look cute with the braces!! I had the same thing on the roof of my mouth on top of braces as an adult and I am soooo grateful now looking back at the 18 months bc my teeth are perfect and so worth it. Your supporters I assure you are here because you're so relatable and braces are a part of real life!! We're still gonna continue to be here supporting and I love that you've made this decision to better the quality of your life for a short term 'sacrifice' which it is, cause life will move along and it'll be just so normal!! xx

Aw thank u so much! 🥹 it’s been such a mental struggle.. even still a week later but I’m hoping to get used to them. I really was worried people wouldn’t want to keep watching bc it’s so unpleasant to hear me talk now but ur right and the supporters that are really supporters will stick around through this time. Thank u for your words of encouragement, they mean a lot truly! 💗💗

For my own selfish reasons, I pray you don't stop vlogging bc I work out to your videos and it's the only motivation I got right now and I mean after my 12 year relationship with 2 kids just ended lol. Does that make you feel a little guilty for wanting to stop? I hope so hahaha no but do what you gotta do for your mental and please recommend someone you'd watch to me if you do in fact go on a hiatus. Despite of how you sound, everything is the same to me. That's just my two cents :p

You’re beautiful with or without braces. 🌸💞 💜 Don’t ever let your self-doubt or negative thoughts control your life. You are strong and perfect just the way you are. 😍 This is only a temporary thing for a permanent fix 🙏🏾..You got this girl 🫶🏾

Hi girl! Just wanted to give you some words of encouragement. I got braces at 28 and I’m about to turn 30 so I’ve had them for almost 2 years! I promise it gets better and your lisp will go away! I even had to get teeth pulled out which was very noticeable! I was walking around with not only braces, but missing teeth. So trust me, I understand how it can affect your self esteem. They will grow on you and people won’t even notice. Sending you lots of love! ❤

You will get through it,! I got braces when I was 31 and had them off when I was 33 and honestly the time flew by. You will adjust to it and it won't seem so bad after a little while, I also had the traditional braces but I had ceramic brackets on the top so they blended in with my teeth more for when I talked or smiled and I had the metal brackets on the bottom. I feel your pain, braces suck but it will be worth it in the end to get what you need fixed. And you look beautiful as always with your new teeth jewelry 😁

Nowadays you can have AI narrate your content if you really need it. It will take your voice and then piece sylabols to make your voice make new words. For vlogs I don’t care if you think you sound funny I still love you and your vlogs. But if brand content or tik tok videos require something else, look into computer or AI narration.

I applaud you for still coming on camera and sharing your experience because I probably would’ve just disappeared for a few months. 🥹🥹🥹 I know it’s not the same thing, but I feel like people with Invisalign talk the same way. Almost everyone has a lisp now, lol. I’m glad your tattoo appointment ended up being a safe space. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
