Does the Inman aligner affect my speech?

[Adah]

My teeth at the front are slightly crooked and my dentist suggested an Inman aligner. Because I cannot afford to have any changes my speech, as I work a lot with people, I need to know if the Inman aligner will affect my speech, and if so, what are my other options?

Unfortunately, the Inman aligners are probably the worst in affecting the speech. They are big and bulky and they are placed on the lingual surface of your teeth. It might take a lot of time for you to get used to speak with them on.

Other options for you are fixed braces or Invisalign. They are both confortable and do not affect your speech, but Invisalign has the advantage of being more aesthetic.
