Playing with braces can actually be very good for a new Trumpet player. A very common mistake with beginners is to pull the trumpet tight against the lips, which is bad for the player and can damage the lips.
A trumpet player with braces has to avoid this problem even more, which means that they are likely to develop better playing practices.
Remember that you should never have to pull the trumpet towards your face; just place your lips on the mouthpiece and buzz like you would without braces.

Assuming the guitar music is written for a standard guitar with no capo, and assuming you are playing on a B-flat trumpet, you transpose up a full step. So, if the guitar note is C, you play a D on a b-flat trumpet. If you are playing on a C trumpet, you don't have to transpose.

On a standard B-flat trumpet B is played with the second valve and A is played with 1-2.
