How Emma Overcame Open Bite, Lisp, and Jaw Pain with Hidden Braces in Manhattan

If you live in Manhattan and have ever struggled with a lisp, jaw pain, or felt self-conscious about your smile, you’re not alone. These common problems often come down to one thing: the alignment of your teeth. Luckily, there’s a solution that’s both effective and discreet – InBrace®, the hidden braces treatment designed for busy New Yorkers like you.

What Is an Open Bite and Why Does It Matter?

An open bite happens when the upper and lower teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed. This gap can make it hard to pronounce certain sounds – like “s” and “z” – leading to a noticeable lisp. It can also cause discomfort because your jaw joint has to work harder to chew and talk properly.

Emma’s Story:

Emma was frustrated. Her speech was affected, and she began to notice jaw pain. But what worried her most was how visible traditional braces might look. In a career where confidence is key, the last thing Emma wanted was a mouth full of metal distracting from her professionalism.

The InBrace® Solution: Hidden Braces That Fit Your Lifestyle

That’s when Emma discovered InBrace®. Unlike traditional braces that sit on the front of your teeth, InBrace® is placed behind your teeth, making it practically invisible to everyone else. This means Emma could get the orthodontic treatment she needed – correcting her open bite, easing her jaw pain, and improving her speech – without anyone noticing she was wearing braces.

“It was such a relief,” Emma says. “I didn’t want anything obvious while meeting clients daily. InBrace® was hidden, comfortable, and fit perfectly into my busy schedule.”

A Year Later: Confidence Restored

Less than 12 months later, Emma’s lisp was gone, her jaw pain had eased significantly, and most importantly, her confidence was back.

“Now I can smile without worrying if my teeth or speech will hold me back,” she shares happily.

When Patients Ask About Discreet Braces, Here’s What I Tell Them

When I meet patients who worry about how braces will look – especially in a place like Manhattan where your appearance matters – the first thing I do is carefully examine their bite and teeth to understand the root of the problem. If it’s an open bite or a case where hidden braces make sense, I often recommend hidden braces like InBrace® because I’ve seen how much relief they bring to people who need to fix their bite or speech but don’t want anyone to notice they’re wearing braces.

Life is busy, and confidence is key.

With InBrace®, the braces go behind your teeth, so they’re completely out of sight. You can talk, smile, and meet clients without feeling self-conscious. It’s a discreet, comfortable way to get the results you need without changing how you show up every day. But it’s important to remember that there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment. That’s why a thorough consultation is so important – to find the right approach tailored just for you.
