Does it make sense for me to have trouble double tonguing on flute when i have braces?

Question

yeahh i do ta ka ta ka, that

and i know im doing it right, because i learned to do it 2 years ago, do you think maybe the problem could be that i have four teeth pulled on the top? like not middle four, but after those four two on the left, and two on the right

Answer 1

Get your tongue further forward, in the Japanese style of *spitting rice* tonguing.  It will fall on the lip, between the teeth - like saying THICKA.  This way, you will not be hitting any braces appliances.

This takes effort to learn.  You will find that you SPIT a lot - and get spitballs - at first.  Stick with it.

Answer 2

no. it doesnt. i played with my braces when i had them. but the only problem i had was that it hurted because my braces would get pushed onto my lips when i played and leave marks and it hurt.

and because double tonguing is inside your mouth, where there are no braces, it shouldnt be a problem. are you sure youre doing it right?

its just ta-ka-ta-ka-ta-ka-ta-ka... and it should be touching the roof of your mouth. not your teeth.

i know when i had my teeth taken out and when i sucked on it, it hurted. maybe cause our gums are sensitive and so when you tongue, itll put pressure on your gums and it hurts.

thats a lot of teeth to pull out. does it hurt when you do regular tonguing?

Answer 3

maybe its been a while that you practised the double tanguing and u are not used to it. Try doing sound like q, at the top above your tongue, maybe its better.
