Many patients are concerned that they won’t be able to speak clearly with an oral appliance in their mouth, but the truth is that this is rarely a problem when it comes to ClearCorrect. You might have a slight lisp for the first few days; that’s because your tongue and the various muscles in your mouth need to get used to operating with the aligners present. Over time, though, any minor speech issues should fade, and you should be able to speak with confidence at all times. If you want to accelerate the adjustment process, you can practice talking by reading aloud. Take the time to repeat any words that you find particularly troublesome.
