go see an orthodontist. I am a junior and been playing the alto since the 6 grade. I was able to play the next day after having my braces adjusted, but that's me. i was also comfortable playing with my retainer in when I had to wear it. i play a B7 during marching season and an A3 during concert season, so maybe a smaller facing on the mp would help as well. in the meantime, why are you worrying on valentine's day? shouldn't you be serenading your sweetheart?lol! peace out, saxes forever!

It affects intonation, quality, and sound only! Go to an orthodontist, where they will either give you a retainer or put braces on, Saxes ftw!!!
