El Dorado Family Dental

Will Invisalign® affect my speech while I’m wearing aligners?

Are you considering Invisalign® in El Dorado Hills? Do you dream of a straight smile that boosts your confidence? We can help!

Invisalign is a series of aligners custom-crafted to fit your teeth. You wear each aligner for a few weeks before changing it for the next in your supply. Each aligner brings your teeth into straighter positions.

After treatment, we fit you with a retainer to prevent orthodontic relapse—teeth shifting into pretreatment positions.

As with anything worn in the mouth, there might be a bit of an adjustment period, which can include stumbling over words or other speech issues, but this does not typically last long. You shouldn't have any trouble once you've acclimated to your aligners!

Benefits of Invisalign in EL Dorado Hills, CA

You can remove Invisalign to brush and floss your teeth, which contributes to better oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment. You can also take out your aligners to eat and drink. However, aim to wear them at least 22 hours daily for best results.

Invisalign can correct many orthodontic issues, including:

  • Crowded and crooked teeth
  • Bite misalignment issues
  • Gaps between teeth
