The Impact of Orthodontic Treatment on Speech and How to Adjust

Orthodontic treatment is all about achieving a healthier, straighter smile, but it can also affect your speech in unexpected ways, especially when using certain appliances.

Fortunately, these speech changes are usually short-lived, and there are strategies to speed up the adjustment process, like singing along to your favorite tunes! This blog explores how orthodontic treatment impacts speech, what to expect when you first start wearing appliances, and how to adjust if you're experiencing any difficulty.
