I’m on the home stretch of braces and I’m considered the best in my band class, but I don’t know how losing braces will affect my performance. Right now as I’m typing this, I feel a tender part of my lip that’s also rough and indented because of my braces, and I don’t know if that’s normal embouchure and pressure or if I’m pushing too hard into my braces for pressure and will lose the control that comes with that when I lose the braces.
