Specialist orthodontists are experienced in treating musicians, particularly those who play wind and brass instruments.
Playing a wind or brass instrument requires a unique skill set, including the use of a combination of lip and facial muscles, tongue and teeth, through a position known as embouchure. This intricate position is pivotal for wind instrument players.
Different instruments demand a different balance of these elements for optimum performance. Unfortunately, orthodontic treatments can sometimes pose challenges in maintaining the correct embouchure for wind instrument players.
We have a wealth of experience in treating wind and brass instrument musicians, ranging from children to professional adult musicians. For younger players in training, we typically align treatment with their instrument grading, ensuring the young patient completes their current grade before beginning treatment.
We have also had the honour of treating professional symphony orchestra players who rely on their abilities to sustain their careers. In such cases, we take a careful approach to treatment, assessing the viability of each aspect before proceeding.
Our objective is to design treatment plans that won’t cause irreversible changes before we’ve had a chance to evaluate their impact on the musician’s performance.
If you or your child is a wind or brass instrument player considering orthodontic treatment, choosing a specialist orthodontist with experience in treating musicians is crucial.
They will be able to minimise the potential disruption of your embouchure. A general dental practitioner may not have the breadth of experience or range of treatment options needed to cater to your specific needs.
Choosing a specialist orthodontist experienced in treating musicians and understanding the importance of embouchure is your safest option.
Expect an in-depth conversation about your musical journey, your instrument, and your schedule before discussing your options. Together, we can devise a timeframe that accommodates your needs and achieves your objectives for your teeth and music performance.
