Can you talk with aligners? Absolutely! Many people are surprised to learn that wearing braces doesn’t mean having to speak with a lisp or struggling to be heard clearly. Invisalign and other clear aligner treatments can actually make it easier for patients to communicate without any added difficulty.
Clear aligners are designed to be comfortable and discreet, and they work by gradually shifting the teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners don’t have brackets or wires that may interfere with speaking. The smooth plastic material also helps fill in any gaps between the teeth so speech won’t be affected either. This means that patient’s can feel confident when talking, even if they’re wearing their aligners in public.
Clear Aligners also allow for changes in speech habits like tongue placement which can help enhance communication overall.
