Best Answer

It will take a few days. Be sure to monitor what the patient eats. Sticky and schewy stuff and suckers should be avoided. Speaking and eating will be a problem for a few days, but after a short adjustment period, the appliance becomes an ordinary part of life. Have the patient practice talking after the appliance is in place. It will all come together after a few short days.
