I am gonna get braces (top and bottom) in just over a week and realised hey, perhaps I won't be able to play my cornet anymore. Is it still possible to play a cornet (and trumpet) with top and bottom fixed braces? Is it just a case of take a few weeks off and then get used to it or is it just impossible? I kind fo want to know as I plan to get an A-Level in music on my cornet (2 year course) and if I need braces for two years then I'm pretty much stuffed.
Thanks

Basically it says, wind instrument players have to relearn. And use lots of wax and chapstick!

Lots of kids in band have braces. They also have some really good callouses for the time that they have braces, but the tissue will return to normal when the braces come off.

YOU CAN SAFELY PLAY IT WITH BRACES.
