I was given a removable brace (something like false-teeth with a wire
frame attached). I don't know whether it would be suitable for your
student, but it might be worth asking about.

I had my braces put on in my second year or playing, and I had them for about
five years. I lost about half of my range immediately, but it cam back over the
following month. I encountered some difficulty, because I found that using wax
to cover the metal did not help; it would never stay, and

A student of mine had braces put on a few months ago. She lost both her
high and low range, but they are coming back. While she said it didn't
hurt to play, the high and low notes just wouldn't play. It was a good
opportunity to work on minimizing lip pressure and breath support. We
ordered
In addition to piano, dance, voice and music theory lessons (which I
heartily recommend) I would like to respectfully posit the following:

Hi Doug,
I've had a number of students with braces over the years, and it's
perfectly normal to lose some high range-- a fifth is about average.
While it's somewhat demoralizing for a student to experience this,
after the braces come off the high range will return with practice

I got braces after a year of playing, and I didnt
notice a huge difference of playing. However, I dont
think that I was experienced (or serious) enough to
notice any major difference. During my time with

There's usually much more going on than just braces. Just how ugly are

couldn't have been much of an impediment. I recall very high level

their embouchure, and
All,
My experience years ago with braces was quite painful - they always cut my
lips badly, and by the time I got them off, I had developed very bad
embouchure habits. It took me a very long time to get back to comfortable
high range playing, but if I had known what I know now I would've been
especially easy to clean.

There are braces that are molded plastic. The process involves making a
whole series of such braces. They are not unlike mouth guards used in some
contact sports.
Invisalign (or invisaline) braces - I am uncertain of the spelling but I
know Dan B's son has them.

I went through the same mess a few years ago. My parents said that they would

that they were years ahead of their time, a neat but impractical idea, and that
we should not bother with them. We then sought another
I would go with the standard issue braces, they are the better decision with
