From completely removable aligners and shorter average treatment timelines to no dietary restrictions, Invisalign<\/a> comes with several noteworthy benefits. So, it\u2019s not hard to see why there are more than 12 million happy patients! Despite that, however, there are still some prevailing \u201cmyths\u201d that make prospective patients hesitant to commit to treatment. With this in mind, keep reading to learn the answer to the common question, \u201cWill Invisalign affect my speech?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, Will Invisalign Affect My Speech?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To form words, your tongue makes a series of distinct motions against the back of your teeth. Naturally, you may wonder if the presence of your aligners will negatively impact this process, causing you to have a lisp throughout your treatment. Good news: studies have found that more than 90% of patients have no difficulties with speech impediments during their Invisalign treatment. So, there is a really good chance you won\u2019t experience any changes to your speaking patterns during your Invisalign treatment. Remember: Invisalign is one of the most sought-after teeth-straightening solutions. If it consistently resulted in negative changes to a patient\u2019s speaking patterns, then it wouldn\u2019t be as popular as it is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should I Do If I Do Experience a Lisp?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you do<\/em> experience a slight lisp, don\u2019t panic. These changes to your speaking patterns are usually short-lived. Plus, there are a few ways you can speed up the adjustment period. The first is by reading out loud. Whether you\u2019re scrolling through Instagram or reading a book, use every opportunity to practice, practice, practice. If you\u2019re having trouble with the \u201cs\u201d sounds, you can try counting from 60 to 90 repeatedly. This repetition includes many of the more difficult words, like \u201csixty.\u201d Lastly, try talking to a trusted friend. The combination of these three best practices will help build your proficiency in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been stressing over the idea that starting Invisalign will change your speaking patterns, you can take a deep breath \u2013 there is a very good chance it won\u2019t. Even if it does, the changes will be minor and short-lived. So, don\u2019t let that hold you back from discreetly achieving the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
