These removable and practically invisible aligners are designed to blend into your daily life, not interrupt it, so you can fix your misaligned teeth and bite without anyone noticing! However, you may be wondering \u201cWill Invisalign affect the way I speak?\u201d The answer may surprise you! Keep reading to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign Vs Speech: What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign clear aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth. They\u2019re very thin, so they should be barely perceptible and very comfortable. However, they do cover key parts of your mouth that are used when speaking. When your tongue hits these distinct places to make specific sounds, the presence of the aligners will change the resulting words. Oftentimes, Invisalign patients will initially experience changes in speech patters or the development of a lisp. How much Invisalign impacts a person\u2019s speech varies from case to case: some won\u2019t notice any changes at all, while others will need to go through a short adjustment period. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to speed this process up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Practice Talking with Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Invisalign aligners have changed your speaking pattern, there\u2019s no need to worry that this will continue throughout your treatment. In most cases, adjusting to speaking with Invisalign only takes a few weeks at most. To speed this process up, practice! The more you speak with your aligners in place, the faster your mouth and tongue will adjust to their presence. Try singing to your favorite song, reading books or magazines aloud, or having a conversation with your pet or non-judgmental friend. You could even try practicing difficult words, such as \u201csixty\u201d and \u201cMississippi!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to Speak to Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It shouldn\u2019t take very long for you to adjust to speaking with your aligners. If it feels like you\u2019re not making progress and you still find it difficult to talk with your aligners in after several weeks to a month, don\u2019t hesitate to give your dentist a call! This could be due simply to an ill-fitting aligner that needs to be readjusted. They\u2019ll take a look at your aligners and your mouth. If needed, they\u2019ll be able to give you a new aligner that fits better and impacts your speech less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results from an Invisalign treatment have the potential to last a lifetime, so a short adjustment period in your speaking is well-worth it. With practice and guidance from your dentist, you should be speaking clearly with Invisalign in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Dr. Steven Crovatto and Dr. Megan Edwards of Crovatto &amp; Edwards Family Dentistry are proud to serve the families of Orange Park and the surrounding communities.
