I want invisible braces and no speech problems, is this possible?

Q.
Hi Iam thinking about getting lingual braces. I have problems with a overbite and my front two teeth are buck, so i feel like i would only need them on my top teeth. But Iam worried as iam starting university this year and don’t want visible braces or speech problems when iam wearing them. Will i have speech problems the whole time iam wearing them? also how much am i loooking to pay? thank you x

Thank you for your enquiry.

Lingual braces are a great aesthetic option. As the lingual braces are placed on the back of your teeth it is natural for your tongue to get a little irritated at first. It will take around 10 days for your tongue to accommodate your appliance, so you may find that you suffer with a lisp temporarily. Your tongue however will eventually get used to the brace being there and your speech will improve. In regards to the cost of lingual braces it really depends on which lingual system you decide to utilise as there are many different kinds. I would highly recommend that you have an orthodontic consultation with a specialist lingual orthodontist.
