Is there any way to help my lisp that's caused by Invisalign?

talispalaceAug 29, 2015
I got invisalign braces put on a couple days ago. My teeth are almost perfect they just started to shift and I need to correct some issues, especially on the bottom. I've been doing alright with them but my number one issue is this slight lisp that I have. I am constantly giving talks and speeches and I need to be able to speak freely. I'm not sure if the lisp will go away or not but I'm having a hard time with it. I'm thinking I'll need to remove the upper tray when I'm giving talks sometimes.

Everyones teeth move differently.  We start off with our patients wearing trays 2 weeks each, but will change to every 10 days depending on your tooth movement.  I would have trust in your orthodontist as every orthodontic case is a different.
