Will I Be Able to Play a Musical Instrument With Braces?

October 11, 2022

If you’ve been wanting a straighter smile, then you’re likely considering undergoing orthodontic treatment. By wearing either metal brackets and wires or clear aligners, you’ll be able to gradually shift your pearly whites into a more uniform position. However, if you play a wind instrument, you might wonder if your braces will prevent you from performing. Read on to learn three tips on how you can still enjoy playing your favorite tunes!

Tip #1: Apply Dental Wax

One of the most important tools during your treatment process is orthodontic wax. This putty-like substance is designed to soften any edges of your braces that may cause discomfort or can potentially scratch your oral tissue. Though this can be helpful to most patients, it is essential for those who enjoy playing wind instruments, such as flutes, clarinets, or saxophones. Whenever you place the mouthpiece on your lips, it can put pressure on your braces and may irritate the soft tissues in your mouth. With orthodontic wax, you can play your chosen instrument while remaining as comfortable as possible.

Tip #2: Add Extra Hours of Practice

Are you just starting to play an instrument? Have you been playing for several years now? In either case, practice always makes perfect. However, if you’re unsure of the adjustment period with your braces, then you might consider breaking up your practice sessions into smaller chunks. Firstly, this will increase your proficiency with your favorite instrument. Secondly, it’ll give your lips some time to recover, allowing you to feel less discomfort as you gain experience and confidence!

Tip #3: Consider Metal-Free Orthodontics

If you’re concerned about your smile, have a major recital coming up, or play music as a career, then you should ask your dentist about alternative orthodontic options, like Invisalign. Depending on your situation, clear aligners can be just as effective as metal braces while being removable and discreet. As long as you wear them for 20-22 hours every day, you’ll be able to stay on track with your treatment while playing your music.

So, if you’re struggling with a crooked, gapped, or crowded smile, it may be time to consider braces. They’re a great option for achieving a perfectly straight smile, and you won’t have to worry about them preventing you from playing your wind instrument!
