Speech delay and braces/retainer?


Recommended Posts

My son spent 8 years in speech therapy and now speaks beautifully. There is not the slightest hint that he did not speak his first words till right before his 4th birthday. :001_smile:

 

He is 11 and I am hoping to get him in braces in the next year or two. I'm not that concerned about the braces creating a speech delay (just the tiniest bit concerned) but my concern is about the retainer.

 

My daughter just got her retainer today and for the first hour her speech was impaired. :confused: Its been several hours and it is now about 85% normal.

 

I'm seriously concerned about my sons speech being affected for even 1 second.

 

Anyone have any idea/experience?
