I got hit in the mouth with a baseball in 1998, it loosen my front two teeth, and cut the inside of my upper lip. The dentist said let's look at it again in two weeks. They tighten back up fine. The cut in my lip was deep and now I have a one inch seam in the middle back of my top lip. I play this way till 1998 when they loosen back up, I had them out, the roots were all broken. I learned to play again with them missing got my range back to E above High C in about 4 weeks, Great. I had a partial plate put in in 1999 ( DON'T GO THIS WAY!) it comes loose as I play and and they are out just a little bit so it's hard to get that little roll in now my range is A below hight C still today. I looked in to inplants but the cost! Do to the bone being so small, so I will be getting a permanent bridge in the next 4 months. My dentist knows I play and will take the time to get it right.
