When you are in your teens, you are struggling with many "body" issues at the same time. In addition, the formative years of puberty put an additional strain on developing the muscle memory important to consistent playing.
As an adult, we only have the geometrical considerations of the braces. I think that is solvable for an adult player that does not resort to "please feel sorry for me, I just got braces"! If our attitude is proper, we can compensate ANY inconveniences!
OK, maybe our double C goes away for a year or two, we can work to improve our tonguing, improvisation, rhythm or a multitude of other things when "range" is not an issue!
Naturally, we have to weigh the benefits vs our playing schedule. That is something that we can't handle over the internet though!
