Ive been playing the trumpet for about two years and got braces about a year ago, i can hit and hold a tripple G (the second one above the staff). But my embrochure has been `messed up` because of the braces. I now find myself playing more out of the side of my mouth :/. Any tips to inprove my poblem?

I had the same problem... just take a week or so where you have nothing going on, use a mirror, and keep putting your mouthpiece in the center. At first you probably will lose your range (I did, it went from about an E/F# above the staff to about an F at first) and keep practicing. Eventually it should improve, right now i`m at about a B as my consist top note... it sucks at first but it has improved my tone and such, and my teacher says my range will recover.

hope that helped
