Completing your orthodontic treatment is a major achievement, and the results of your hard work, whether through braces or clear aligners, are now visible in the form of a straighter, more confident smile. However, the journey doesn’t end with the removal of your braces or aligners.

Starting orthodontic treatment is an exciting step toward achieving a beautiful, confident smile. One common concern that often arises is the potential impact braces may have on speech. While it’s natural to wonder if treatment will alter how you talk, it’s important to know that any changes are typically temporary and usually less noticeable than you might expect.
