My friend, Jon, had braces for a while and he was great at playing trumpet. Then last year he got them taken off and he still hasn't fully recovered from the change. I know this is random, but does anyone else refer to trumpets as t-pets? Our band has nicknames like that for every section.

Now mouthpieces...I use a Vincent Bach Straight 3...It helps your sound improve over time, and doesnt hinder your range as much as say, a 1...thats a good mouthpiece...Nick Balleza, the first chair...he is currently using a 1/2 size mouthpiece, so his sound is improving a lot, but he cant play as high...which isn't really a problem, since before he could play at least double G...
