Your Speech while wearing retainers

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.

Your Speech while wearing retainers

#1 Post by braceface2005 »

I've had my braces off for 3 weeks now. I got my retainers last week. How do you cope with the difficulty of saying certain sounds while wearing your retainers? My speech has gotten better however I still have trouble saying some blends such as "st".


Treatment Length: 2 1/2 years : metal was on upper and lowers
