I don't know what lingual braces are. But as far as going out, I just pop them out for the evening and make sure I'm wearing them as much as possible the next day to make up for it.
The company, Invisalign makes another version from a different material that is hypoallergenic, but the ortho has to contact his/her company rep and insist on getting new trays made from the hypoallergenic material.
I would push this ortho and show him/her the on-line evidence of other patients with this problem. My ortho had never heard of it, but he listened!
Did her ortho tell her to stop wearing the trays immediately once she told him/her of the breathing problems? If not, switch orthos. That is unacceptable. If the company has the hypoallergenic trays for these cases, then it obviously is admitting that there is a problem. Good luck. I didn't know of FDA's involvement. I'll look it up. Thanks.
My slight lisp went away, but I would advise your ortho to address this as he/she may be able to file down some edges to help.
When you go out to a party, just take your case in your purse and take them out in the bathroom and leave them out til you get home or something. Not a big deal.
