It focuses on the \u201cs\u201d sound (a sibilant fricative), which is sensitive to small changes in tooth position and vertical dimension. It is commonly used during denture try-ins, bite adjustments, and smile or restorative planning to screen for lisping or whistling. Clinicians may use it alongside other phonetic and bite records to refine comfort, function, and speech clarity."}
