"If you’re starting Invisalign®, you might notice a slight change in your speech at first, sometimes even a small lisp. This happens because the aligners create a thin barrier over your teeth, and your tongue needs a little time to adjust. The good news is that it’s temporary! Most people adapt within just a few days to a week. Practicing speaking out loud, reading to yourself, and staying hydrated can help speed things up.
In some cases, Invisalign® can actually improve speech over time by correcting misaligned teeth that once caused difficulties.
