    I had a retainer ans then braces and then a retainer again. The braces weren't as bad as the retainer. The retainer was awful, it drove me nuts and I couldn't sleep well with it in.

    i play the trumpet too, and i do have some difficulty. I am deciding whether i should or shouldn't get braces if i do, i lose several teeth just because the top one sticks out 0.5mm more than the bottom tooth.

    If you do get braces and you still play trumpet, I suggest getting these wax cover type of things to put over your braces. It makes it a lot more comfortable to play.

    Hmm.. I never had Braces. But I heard of some horror storys. Bleeding while sleeping and you found tons of blood stain on your bed. All sort of things.
    But after all this, I'm pretty sure you will have a great smile. :p

    i think way too many people get them that dont really need them for some reason i kind of like crooked teeth or a small gap as long as its not too bad then yeah you should have braces but it think a slight snaggle tooth has character
