Could I get a lisp again when I get my veneers/crowns? (Photo)

Question

I use to have a lateral lisp when I was a kid, got braces and my lisp was corrected once my overbite was fixed. I’m going to turkey next month for venners or crowns, could you get a lisp with either of these? I use to have to take speech therapy classes as a kid, little did I know all I needed was braces & to alleign my teeth better! I’m scared after venners or crowns I could have a problem again?

There is a slight chance you may have a lisp for a few days to a few weeks, if your veneers are made longer than your natural teeth. Not every patient developes the lisp, but every patient looses it with in a few weeks.

Hello dear, It is unlikely that getting veneers or crowns would cause a lisp to reoccur if it was corrected after receiving braces. Veneers and crowns primarily involve reshaping or covering the outer surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance and function. They are not directly related to the mechanics of speech production.
However, it's important to note that any changes to the size, shape, or alignment of your teeth can potentially have a temporary impact on your speech patterns. This adjustment period is normal, and your mouth and tongue will gradually adapt to the new dental restorations. It may take a short period of time for you to fully adjust to the changes and regain your normal speech patterns.
To address your concerns, I would recommend discussing your previous lisp and speech therapy history with your dentist during your consultation. They can assess your specific case, provide professional guidance, and ensure that the treatment plan is designed in a way that minimizes the likelihood of any speech-related issues.
Additionally, it's important to note that finding a skilled and experienced dentist is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome. By choosing a reputable dentist and following their post-treatment instructions, you can help minimize any potential concerns and enjoy the benefits of your new veneers or crowns while maintaining your speech clarity.
