In fact, they\u2019re so low-profile that they\u2019re often considered invisible. However, they\u2019re still an oral device that you insert over top of your teeth. Won\u2019t that affect the way you talk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple answer is yes \u2013 but not as much as you might think! Keep reading to find out how Invisalign will still feel very much invisible, even while you speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Aligners, New Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly (and perhaps grossly) enough, when you introduce foreign objects to your mouth, it works overtime to produce more saliva. Why? Well, to make sure everything stays moist. Your teeth and oral tissue are healthier in a humid environment. So while turning up the spit-works is a good instinct, it will likely make talking with Invisalign a bit difficult at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign Practice Makes Invisalign Perfect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, as you and your mouth adjust to your new aligners, your oral saliva will go back down to normal levels. You\u2019ll also start to get a better feel for your trays and will get the hang of talking around them. However, that\u2019s only if you practice! Hearing yourself lisp and slur might be uncomfortable, but if you don\u2019t talk, you won\u2019t learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it will soothe your nerves, you can pick up some extra practice time at home. Read out loud from your favorite book or repeat lines from auditory media. Whatever practice habits help you feel more confident and comfortable with your Invisalign is what you should do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need to Vent? Call Your Dentist!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you make use of this tip, there might be days where you\u2019re tempted to remove your trays for longer than recommended. Resist the urge! This could cause your teeth to shift back out of alignment, prolonging your treatment. Instead, call your dentist. They\u2019ll listen attentively to your frustrations and can give you personalized recommendations for making life a little easier. The goal is to straighten your teeth as smoothly as possible, so don\u2019t hesitate to contact them for extra help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nepeandentalcentre.com\/meet-dr-bal.html\">Dr. Gus Bal<\/a> earned his dental degree from the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine.
