If you’re starting clear braces, you might notice a slight change in your speech at first, sometimes even a small lisp. This happens because the aligners create a thin barrier over your teeth, and your tongue needs a little time to adjust. The good news is that it’s temporary! Most people adapt within just a few days to a week. Practicing speaking out loud, reading to yourself, and staying hydrated can help speed things up.

In some cases, clear braces can actually improve speech over time by correcting misaligned teeth that once caused difficulties.

Your toothbrush can’t reach everywhere, but a water flosser can. A water flosser uses a pressurized stream of water to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria from between teeth and along the gumline. It is less likely to cause irritation or bleeding compared to string floss, making it a good choice for people with sensitive gums or gingivitis. If you're wondering which water flosser is right for you, ask us for a recommendation!

Your gums are the foundation of your smile. Receding gums can lead to sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated, but the good news is that it’s preventable and treatable. Don’t ignore the signs of gum recession — early treatment matters.
