 Should I wait?
Author: awildman

I need some advice here. I've got some pretty uneven teeth. Bottom ones are not so bad - at least they're generally about the same height - but the two frontmost teeth on the top are of significantly different height. (or would it be depth, since they're hanging?)

I'd love to start learning to play, but I'm not sure what difficulties my teeth might cause. I'm starting orthodontic work in the next few months, but obviously teeth take awhile to move around. Should I go ahead and start lessons, or wait for a couple of years for my teeth to adjust?

Note: I am well into adulthood, and have no aspirations to be a great player, so time's not really an issue. And i already play another instrument - in a very non-clarinet-compatible musical style, so I've mostly got my musical fix there. My aspirations are pretty low, perhaps playing in a community orchestra but nothing big.

Thanks in advance, all.

p.s. I did a search, but couldn't find anything that addressed my specific question. If there is an existing thread, please be so kind as to point it out.
