Hi, everyone,
I had a visit to the dentist today (insert heavy sigh here) and found out that I have to have 3 wisdom teeth pulled and braces put in. Now, I will make the disclaimer that this news made me rather upset, and I have yet to call back and ask more carefully thought-out questions. At the age of 30, I am quite concerned about having braces put in: how much will that impede my playing? how will changing the orientation of my teeth alter the oral chamber and how air passes through it? as I do not have the same resiliency of a child, is this a career-threatening thing? can one even play with a system such as invisalign in place?
As you can see, I am operating in freak-out mode, which has already improved since this morning, but I would like to hear from others who had braces as adults or had adult students who did, and how that impacted their playing.
Help! :-)
