SPEECH PROBLEMS

One of the side-effects of having 'lingual braces' fitted is that of slurred
or indistinct speech and orthodontists recommend their clients see Annie
prior to having them fitted, if possible, so they can begin a programme of
tongue and jaw exercises to minimise the effect of having a mouthful of
'scaffolding'.

She is able to give a precise breakdown of articulatory weakness specific to
each individual and implement a series of progressively advanced exercises.

There are many reasons why individuals experience difficulty " getting their
tongue around the words" clearly and efficiently. Should you find yourself
in this category but aren't sure what to do about it, why not get in touch
with Annie for her professional opinion. She will try to help with any
speech difficulty, or refer you on to appropriate agencies should she not be
able to help.
