Is it normal to have a lisp after removing braces?

Question

Because i do. I got them off yesterday and singing or speaking, i have a lisp. I always had my teeth filed slightly against my will : ( : ( and im wondering if that could be the cause. is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

you just got them off?...its normal. its just like when you first got them on you had a lisp because you were'nt use to them. same way when getting them off...you just have to get use to talking without them on. ^_^♥

Answer 2

I didn't have a lisp. Chill kid, this is normal. I had mine off too last week. It depends on people. Some could have lisp, and some doesn't. Wanna know something worser? I just got retainers on Monday... and it sucks living to get used to it. Thank God you can take it off sometimes! :]

Answer 3

yes that is normal i got mine have last monday and i had a lisp but now its gone

Answer 4

Aw hun, your teeth will take some time to settle into their proper places. My daughter had her braces removed & was fitted with retainers instead, if you have been given retainers then wear them night & day.

Perhaps you will have a slight lisp until your teeth settle, I'm sure in a few weeks your singing & your speech will be back to normal.

I bet you have a smile to die for too. Don't worry, things will be fine.

Good Luck. X :-)

Its weird if you don't have a lisps it might take about a couple of days to a week to talk right
