Abstract

Introduction: the oral cavity and facial muscles are very important for wind instrumentalists, and these in turn exert strong pressure on the oral tissues during musical performance, exceeding the permissible forces.

Objective: to determine the implication of the use of orthodontic treatments in musicians who use brass instruments.

Methods: an observational, descriptive and transversal study was carried out in the period July-November 2023, at the Conservatorio Superior Nacional De Música de Ecuador. The universe was 60 students who practice with these instruments and the sample consisted of 22 people, obtained through simple random sampling and according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results: 55 % of the sample considers that the use of orthodontic treatments affects the performance of their instrument. 77 % considered that they suffered damage when playing the instrument. This data, together with the answer to the previous question, gives us an important result, since in addition to the students who present severe dental occlusion, almost 10 % of the sample who present slight dental occlusion are also affected when playing their instrument.

Conclusions: the movement of a tooth when playing a musical instrument depends on the type of embouchure, the hours the instrument is played, the position of the teeth, the forces created by the tongue and the facial muscles during instrumental practice.
