i am about to get rid of my metal mouth after more than two years and wanted to know if this would effect my playing! I started flute about two months before I got my braces.))

thanx,

It will take some practice and some getting used to, but you`ll be just fine

I`m not trying to be mean but it is embochure.

OOPS! Even I spelt it wrong. It`s embouchure. lol.

thanx.
i`ll see what happens.

When I got my braces off, I could pick up my flute and just start playing right away, and my tone was also less airy. Not like when I got them on...I had to change my embrochure and I couldn`t get a sound out for a few days.

I play french horn, so it`s not quite the same, but i found that getting used to playing without braces was easier than getting used to playing with them.
My range was extended and i could play for longer when i had them off.

You`ll be fine

It was difficult adjusting with the braces but doable and when they were removed it took some getting used too and practice but ultimately found it does sound way better I think because with all the junk in your mouth you can`t relax your lips and throat as much with out them so hang in there. I had to start with a metal expander on the roof of my mouth for several months then added top braces for 1-2 years and bottoms for a year all during my highschool playing and was able to adjust but when I got all that crap out like i said I could relax more and made my lips more flexible and less tight. So you can do it!
