Can you talk with Invisalign?

I am a 24 year old female. I want to know if you can talk with Invisalign?

Of course you can talk with clear trays in. People have been wearing these trays for many years, and many times, no one even knows you have them.
After a day or two you should be completely comfortable speaking with Invisalign aligners. They are thin and very well adapted to your teeth. They won’t feel insecure at all. Your tongue will get used to them and your speech will be imperceptibly affected.
Yes
Yes, you should not have any problems.
For the first few hours, you might slur saying a few things like "suffering succotash," but speech and singing will adapt quickly. This is not a a typical complaint, so no worries. Make every effort to speak as clear as the aligner.
Aligners are worn 22 out of 24 hours to allow some time for eating. Speech should not be a problem with Invisalign wear. Particularly someone who is compliant and wears them the full time period, it takes a short time for people to adjust to speaking with the aligners in and it is not a continual problem at all. Speech is not a problem.
Our patients have no difficulty speaking clearly with Invisalign.
I as a Doctor can talk with Invisalign. Our office is in the top 1% in the country for Invisalign doctors so we have good communication with them.
But you as a patient might not be able to talk directly with them.
Most definitely! For some it takes a little getting used to, but years ago I treated a TV Sports anchor and he wore his aligners through his telecast with no problem what so ever!
