Lingual braces: how long did it take for your lisp (if any) to go away/become less noticeable?

Basically what the title says.

I will soon get braces and will go for lingual ones because it’s the most compatible with my daily life and job, but I need to plan it well with the potential lisping at the beginning, as there are some situations at work where I would like to avoid a very noticeable lisp. My ortho says it takes on average about two weeks and I trust her, but I would like to collect some direct experience from others with lingual braces, too!

EDIT: forgot to specify - I’m interested in feedback from people with both upper and lower braces, both lingual, but everyone with lingual braces in some configuration is welcome to share their experience! And of course if you had no lisp at all, please share!

Thanks everyone!
