[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You just have to adjust your embouchure and be prepared to use dental wax, etc. if needed. Here's a great tip sheet: http://www.northbaytrumpetstudio.com/studio/braces.html[/quote] I have had two get braces (and get them off) and continue to play their instruments. It might take some adjustment when you get them on AND when you get them off, and a little relearning of your embouchure, but none of it should hurt. Our orthodontist is very supporting of kids playing instruments and just told my girls to keep playing but to give it a few weeks of playing to make the adjustment. The only thing that the band director asked was for the girls NOT to get their braces on or off right before a concert. [/quote]
