Braces + Trumpet?

I have braces at the moment and I know my general range and sound will change on the trumpet along with reteaching my lips. My questions are will my articulations change? Also will my range increase or decrease?





My articulation is actually pretty terrible in my opinion.





As of now my range without petal tones is (Low G flat -%26gt; C-(3 octaves above mid C))

Braces + Trumpet?
Articulations:


It will be harder to accent, but staccato will be alright. Slurring will be fine, as long as you can endure the pressure. It comes with time.





Range:


Your range WILL decrease. It happened to me. You have an incredible range, I have to say... sadly my range right now is low G and two octaves higher than that.





Just practice so that you can keep your range and overall skill. It is going to be hard to adjust in the beginning... but honestly, it depends on the person. For me, it was hard. :P
Reply:You will have a very, very hard time playing any and everything once you get your braces removed. It is imperative that you keep your mouthpiece completely centered on your chops and keep your horn angle parallel. I have seen so many cases where the removal of braces has caused the mouthpiece to become improperly positioned on the lips causing even more damage. As long as you practice properly and play long low tones your range will come back in a short amount of time.
Reply:I heard that if you learn to play the trumpet with braces, then after you get the braces removed you will be able to play much more easily.
