Frequently asked questions
In some cases, yes. Misaligned teeth or bite issues can affect how your tongue moves and how sounds are formed. By correcting these issues, orthodontic treatment can help improve speech clarity.
You may notice a short adjustment period, especially with clear aligners, as your mouth gets used to the appliance. Most patients adapt quickly, and any temporary changes in speech usually resolve within a few days.
It depends on the cause of your speech difficulty. If the issue is primarily structural, orthodontic treatment may be enough. In some cases, we may recommend working with a speech therapist for the best results.
