I got my braces off yesterday and whenever I have my retainers in, I have such a bad lisp. I got the traditional metal retainers and the orthodontist says I have to wear them full time for 8 weeks. But whenever I wear them, I can't speak properly. It's really embarrassing and I don't really know what to do to get rid of the lisp. The orthodontist says it will go away in a few days, but I was wondering if there's anything I can do to improve my speech while wearing my retainers. If you have any tips or any general retainer tips, please share them here! ๐

I would suggest maybe practice saying things so that you get use to them and eventually your speech will improve!

i havenโt gotten my retainer but it was like that for braces. just like what artsyanna said, just practice. while ur doing things by urself, just sing a song or whatever. the more you do it, the more your mouth will get used to it.

I had a retainer before braces, it wasnโt metal, but nonetheless, I had a lisp. Practice the sounds that are hard to make with it in, I personally talk to myself at an insane rate, so whenever Iโm alone Iโll start talking, if youโre ever alone or anything just start saying the words that are hardest, the more you say things the easier itโll get
