- Younger patients are sometimes concerned that braces will affect either sports in which they participate or musical instruments they play, but we rarely have issues with this.
- We do encourage our athletes to wear a mouth guard to protect their mouths and to protect against concussions. But we rarely hear of any such issues when they wear a well-fitting athletic mouth guard that’s made for orthodontics.
- Musical instruments, particularly brass instruments such as trumpets, trombones and the like, may cause minor irritation on the inside of the lips, making them a little sore. Patients get used to it after a short adjustment period and do not have lasting issues.
