Speech problems and Orthodontics

Many people suffer from a speech problem. There are different causes of speech disorders. The alignment of teeth and the jaw can affect someone’s speech. Overjet, overbite, gaps in teeth and jaw alignment can inhibit the tongue from being able to form correct speech. 

An orthodontist can evaluate the teeth and jaw to see if aligning the teeth can help with lisps, whistling and overall speech development.

Orthodontia along with speech therapy can help provide an improved self-esteem. Everyone can appreciate a beautiful smile. Don’t let orthodontia related speech problems limit you. Stop by and get an evaluation to see if we can help you.
