Topic: Invisalign treatment whilst singing

I'm looking into having Invisalign or braces
I was wondering if you know of any side effects of either whilst singing?
The orthodontist told me once you get used to either braces or Invisalign your speech and singing should become normal again. I have read that I may get a dryer mouth & headaches with the treatment. Any one know of singers who have Invisalign/braces, and what problems they might have had, In particular singers using Invisalign. The bonus is with Invisalign you can remove the trays, whereas braces you can't.

Thanks smile

Re: Invisalign treatment whilst singing

Dont know... my guess is that is that its not going to make one hoot of a difference in changing your sound as the addition of braces would not seemingly impact your formant to any consequence... I dont think there is anything to worry about.

Re: Invisalign treatment whilst singing

Yes, once you get use to the braces , it will actually benefit your singing! Operatic singing is more in the head, modern technique is more dental however the tighter your teeth are in the semi round the of a dome is created for resonance,espeacially in more dental singing( speech level)
I am actually considering dental implaints, since i had my wisdom teeth removed and another tooth pull that i had cracked , my front teeth shifted (there is a small gap) in more dental singing the air escapes there through, slightly lightening the sound( not really noticable to people listening in general) but i do notice. Should only be a benefit for you once you've become accoustom to it.

Re: Invisalign treatment whilst singing

Well, I vividly remember the pain from wearing braces.  The discomfort could create tension in your jaw and therefore in your singing especially in the days following your orthodontist appointments.  Let's not forget, affect your moods!

Search for theVoalist in Yahoo! groups.   Then do a search there.   I seem to recall reading this.

Re: Invisalign treatment whilst singing

hey rockout, my daughters riding instructor uses invisalign...and for the first two weeks that she used it, her speech was definitely affected....had almost a soft "lispy" quality, when this lady has developed a lung capacity and resonance i totally envy....(she "talks" to her students across a huge open arena when she is teaching them how to do hunter/jumper, and they HAVE to hear her..) so if they affected her I would expect they would affect most anyone. but tha good news is that her speech has returned to normal, it just takes some getting used to  im guessing...

Re: Invisalign treatment whilst singing

Thanks WebAndNet & Rychemaiden
I could not find that site on yahoo groups relating to this topic unfortunately sad
Cool ok so a bit lispy 4 a lil while, I can deal wid that haha. Good to hear it didn't interfere with her projection, i didn't think that would be an issue, but is great to know 1st hand. Not long now til i get em... i'm thinkin the vowel sounds may be a lil altered during the 1st 2 weeks of practice, due to my tongue resting on them and moving around the aligners....

Re: Invisalign treatment whilst singing

Hey Rock Out - I'm sure you'll adjust with ease- I have faith in you! so don't stress yourself about it thats not going to help and ultimately if it is difficult the resistance of it will just make you and your diction stronger in the long run.
