Do I Need Time Off Work If Invisalign Affects My Speech?

June 20th, 2014

Hello! I’m currently working in an important role over at a call centre but I’m due to have my first set of aligners next week, so I’ve booked a day’s holiday to receive them. I didn’t ask if they’d affect my speech because I didn’t think anything of it at the time, is this something I should be concerned about? Do you think I should speak to my boss about it? Maybe ask for a couple more days off? Because obviously, I can’t work in a call centre if I can’t speak properly surely! Thanks for your time, I hope you can advise me!

Will Invisalign aligners affect my speech?

October 24th, 2012

Hello,
I am considering having Invisalign braces to straighten up my teeth but I have one or two questions first!
My job as a teacher means that I do a lot of talking as you can imagine and I wondered if wearing Invisalign would affect my speech in any way? I would imagine it will maybe for a few days?
Also, does it cause the teeth to feel soft? Can you wear them when swimming?Finally do you have to change your diet whilst wearing them?
Sorry about all the questions I just wanted to make sure I am going for the right brace and have the correct information before going ahead.
Have a good day and thank you.
