Sorry.

Post by: Warrior_Monk on May 17, 2012, 11:00:34 PM: I had braces for a yearish. Had to completely adjust how I played trumpet and build up callouses. Then I got them off and had to readjust. I decided it wasn't worth it and picked up guitar.

Post by: browarod on May 18, 2012, 09:10:07 AM: The worst parts of braces (so you're prepared):
1. The week or two immediately following when you get them.
2. The day or two immediately following adjustments/tightening over the course.
3. Getting used to the foods you "can't" eat while you have them.
4. Headgear (pray you don't have to have this).
5. Remembering to use the retainer post-braces.

The best parts of braces:
1. Flinging rubber bands (if you get those).
2. Having fun with color combinations for the bracket bands.
3. The day you get them off.
4. ........not really anything else.

I need em. I don't want them. But I will. I play trumpet too.

I didn't want them either, but now I don't regret it at all. Giving up the trumpet, maybe a bit of regret, but my life was starting to get busy, so something had to go.
