Hi I had an aligner fitted yesterday and I am having real difficulties talking. I am worried about wearing it to work as I have to speak to people on the phone and I know they won't be able to understand me. How long will this go on for? Also my dentist said I had to wear it all the time, will my treatment time be severly affected if I don't wear it in work time?

Hi

It does affect speech for the first few days and then patients adapt to them. Each patient is different. If you have any major concerns , you should speak to your dentist.
