Adjusting to Speaking
You might notice a slight lisp when you first start wearing aligners. Most people adapt within a few days as their tongue and mouth get used to the aligners. Practicing speaking aloud at home can help you adjust faster.
Discomfort When Switching Aligners
Some mild soreness is normal each time you switch to a new set of aligners, usually lasting a day or two as your teeth adjust to the new pressure. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if needed.
