Wearing braces might make you wonder if you can still play your favorite musical instrument. The good news is, braces shouldn’t stop you from enjoying music. While some initial discomfort is expected, especially with wind instruments like the trumpet or clarinet, you can adapt with practice. Here are a few tips:
- Use orthodontic wax to cushion the braces.
- Practice regularly to get used to the new sensation.
- Consult your orthodontist for specific advice on your instrument.
With time and patience, you’ll find playing an instrument with braces entirely possible and enjoyable.
