Answers: Has anyone ever had a pendulum put in thir mouth? How long did you talk differently?

Having an devices cemented to your teeth will affect your speech at first. You now have a plastic and metal on the roof of your mouth taking up the space where your tongue should be. Most patients (especially teens) adapt within the first month. Adults have a more difficult time and can lisp for quite some time.

Practice reading out loud and pay attention to your tongue placement. That should help. Your tongue will adjust and actually shrink back a little so that speech should improve. Good luck.
