Will braces affect how i sing?

Question

I'm getting my braces a week before my vocal performance. I'm wondering should I move my braces appointment after my vocal performance or just stick to the original appointment?

I'm thinking of moving my appointment because I'm afraid once I get braces, it would be difficult for me to perform for the following week. Because wouldn't it be sore and takes time to adjust? My performance is a week after my braces appointment. Should I move my appointment or not?

Answer 1

Maybe move the appointment time, trust me, I just got braces... It doesn't change your voice too much, but seeing as you have a mouth full of metal, It des change your diction, you can slobber a bit too, It's all part of getting used to them but after a few months it will be fine again.

Answer 4

I have braces and my friends still say I'm a brilliant singer. I don't think it effects your singngi but It might a wee bit. But apparently my singing voice has acctually got better with braces! :L

 

Don't be worried. It isn't sore and I didn't even know she was putting the clasp thingys on (The things that you can get wiht colours on them) :)

I hope that I have helped in someway :)

Answer 7

It will affect you're singing voice, once you get it removed. This is based from personal experience. I don't know if it's the case for everyone. But it is for me. ^^
