ABSTRACT:
A moldable lip guard for musicians with orthodontic appliances, such as, without limitation, braces, wherein a posterior surface of the moldable lip guard is mold to and imprinted with the anatomic profile of the upper or lower front teeth with overlaid orthodontic appliance. The molded and imprinted posterior surface when coupled to the upper or lower front teeth prevents displacement of the moldable lip guard when playing a musical instrument. The curved and smooth anterior surface of the moldable lip guard serves to eliminate the pain and discomfort associated with embouchure and playing of various types of musical instruments and, especially, brass instruments. The thin thickness of the moldable lip guard does not hinder the musician's ability to project a forceful stream of air through the lips to the instruments mouthpiece when playing such instrument.
