Playing the trombone with braces can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. Brass players often worry about how braces will affect their ability to play. Here are some tips to ease the transition:
- Use orthodontic wax to cover brackets and prevent irritation.
- Practice regularly to adapt your embouchure and maintain muscle memory.
- Consider using a protective mouthguard designed for brass players with braces.
Consult with both your orthodontist and music teacher for personalized advice. With persistence and the right approach, you can continue playing the trombone effectively even with braces.
