Getting used to a retainer

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Getting used to a retainer

#1 Post by beachbum »

Hi guys. I'm had my braces removed on Tuesday (yay!). I have been wearing my retainers but I think I may never get used to talking with them in. I sound terrible.
Do you really get used to talking with your retainers in and eventually sound normal?
Thanks.

Retainers after braces

It took me about week to get used to my retainer. After that, my speech improved to "normal" levels. Hang in there.
