I played the clarinet the whole time I had braces (from 6th grade to 8th
grade) It can be done. I think temporary work would be okay... I really
believe that there aren't many dentists who understand the clarinet
embouchure inparticular. Many of them discourage children from playing this
wonderful instrument because they think it will give them an overbite. I had
an overbite before I started!!! Braces corrected it, and it hasn't come
back. I hope this helps. KEEP PLAYING!
