Show CartThe Wedge is Great for Players with Braces
The Wedge is the most comfortable mouthpiece made for players with braces. The contoured shape of the rim fits over the braces, decreasing the pressure directly over the metal.This greatly increases comfort, and may decrease the need to use wax over the braces. The player will have increased endurance and a clearer tone than with conventional mouthpieces. All of these factors encourage to play for longer periods of the time on the Wedge, meaning that braces are less of a barrier to continued progress on the instrument. Kids with braces instantly can feel and hear the difference when they try a Wedge for the first time. The difference is dramatic. The standard rim is usually the best choice.
