Yes, you can play the Clarinet with braces.

It may take a little time to get used to, and you will need to make some adjustments to your embouchure however, given time you won't even notice the difference.

Quick Tip use some dental wax on the brace from prevent it from digging into the inside of your lower lip while playing. Ask your dentist about wax for the brace.

Yes, you can. My friend uses a special mouth guard though, so if your braces are getting in the way of playing, I suggest that you look into a special mouth guard. You can probably find them at your local music store, if not, then find one on the internet. Good luck, the clarinet is a great instrument!

Definietely you can!! I wore braces for 3 years, and went to state 2 of those years. :) The wax helps a lot when you first start out.. You can get it at Wal-Mart!! :)

Of course you can! I know plenty of people who play the Flute who have braces. After you play for a while you learn to adapt. It may be a bit difficult to play after you get them tightened, but you learn to adjust quickly.

Yes, even though it will be just a microscopic amount more difficult. You use the inside of your mouth and your tongue to play the instrument, not the outisde of your teeth. So yes, you will be able to play the Saxophone with braces on.

Once you get braces, it is a bit difficult to play your instrument at first. As a clarinet player myself, my braces only seemed to effect my playing the first time I tried. But you should get the knack pretty quickly and be played as usual.

Yes you can. I've played saxophone for 7 years, three of which I had braces. There is a tiny difference that you have to get used to. After a few weeks of playing, you'll almost forget they're there.

Of course!

But it is a challenge because your embouchure can change with the addition of the braces. My brother played Trumpet with braces and I played Trombone with braces. What I remember the most was packing wax on the braces so they wouldn't cut into my lips. Then after the braces came off I had to rebuild my embouchure again but it didn't take long to do.

Ask your orthodontist if he can give you a mouth cover to ease the little bit of pain. Good Luck!

Yes you can play the trombone with braces. Braces might make it a little more difficult at first to play but you will get use to it.

How do you play trombone with braces?

I have personal experience with this. At first it is difficult and will cut your lips, but eventually you develop scar tissue and if you can adjust your embouchure, you'll do perfectly fine. I play with braces and am in my school's top band.


Do braces affect playing the trombone?

Yes. when i first started out on trombone i had braces, two years later they were off... at 10 i wasnt really serious into what i was doing, it was just fun to me, but yes, braces make a difference... Its like playing a different trombone, or playing with a different mouthpiece. Once you get them off, it will take a short while for your mouth to readjust, but other than that, its all good, you should be able to play high more easily as well... But every person is different.

Well your are going to need a trombone and then need to take lessons how to play the instrument. Then get the sheet music for the piece and play it. You won't be able to learn how to play the trombone from reading a book; rather you are going to have to learn to play this instrument from the beginning.
