Question:
Does it hurt if you play clarinet and have braces.?
i also have an open bite. will this mess up my teeth more or is ok cause i really dont wanna have to quit playing.
Answers:
Playing the clarinet will absolutely not mess up your teeth more, as long as you keep your braces on as long as the orthodontist recommends and you wear your retainers. The only thing that could cause irritation is on the inside of your cheeks and lips from having a tight seal on the mouth piece. To avoid that, ask your orthodontist for some dental wax. He or she will show you how to use it. It just kind of puts a barrier between the brackets and your skin.
