 | Can't my
band students just get used to
playing with braces? |
Sure, some do.
But during their period of adjustment, band students may lose their range
(especially high notes) and compensate by forming air pockets between their lips and sharp
braces. These air pockets will hamper embouchure development & consistency in playing
their musical instruments.
BRACEGUARD solves these problems.
| How is BRACEGUARD better than
dental wax? |
Dental Wax becomes soft and sticky,
while a BRACEGUARD shield maintains its shape, even after hours of playing.
Dental Wax can stick to your braces; BRACEGUARD won't.
|
How is BRACEGUARD better than plastic
shields?
|
Plastic shields have
ridges and seams while a BRACEGUARD shield is smooth and feels much like lip tissue.
Plastic shields can shift; BRACEGUARD won’t.
| How does BRACEGUARD work? |
BRACEGUARD
provides a smooth, natural-feeling surface between
orthodontic braces and lips to protect against the
sharp metal braces and brackets.
| Why aren't the guards pre-formed? |
No two sets
of braces are identical, and a proper shield must fit your braces. The only way to insure
a proper, personalized fit is to form your own shield.
| Is it hard to form a BRACEGUARD
shield? |
No, it's very
easy. Each kit comes with instructions and photographs. It takes about five minutes to
make a guard.
| How long will one kit last? |
The average
musician/student will use
one BRACEGUARD kit every 4-6 months. Each kit contains enough material to make
five guards.

Are there any other uses for BRACEGUARD?
Yes, many musicians with
crooked, sharp teeth use BRACEGUARD to protect their lips. Also, musicians
with large gaps between their teeth find that they can mold BRACEGUARD
to fill the gap and help their embouchure. |
