All you do is blow tons of air,and make sure your lips are in a tight formation and then just hope for the best.If you practice this often it will become easier each time you play it(if you are doing it right).Also if you take lessons have your teacher help you with it.

Work up to it slowly. Don't just try to go into practice one day and wail away at it. Do normal warm ups, then start adding upper octaves to your scales. Play a G scale until you feel comfortable hitting the G above the stave. Then do the same thing with an A scale. If you don't get all the way to the high C, don't worry about it; it takes time to get your lips in shape for higher notes.

For high notes remember to use a tighter embouchure and faster moving air. Do not pull the instrument into your face. You can damage your lips and teeth doing this.

Also sit up or stand up straight to make sure you are getting enough air into your lungs, it's like singing but just making a different sound. Use your diagphram!

I know that you drop about one or a half octaves when you get them. Don't put to much pressure against your lips, or your gums will hurt for quite a while. You can get brace guards. They slide over the brackets and protect your lip when you play. If they don't have brace guards then you can always use wax.....and also, it will take a few months for your lips to get used to the new changes , but soon you will be as good as you were before the braces.....or even better!!!

What is the difference between a trumpet and a baroque trumpet?

As a general rule, when a part indicates "Trumpet" it is for the b-flat trumpet, so there is no difference. Depending on where you play, you may sometimes see a part for "trumpet in C" or some other key, but unless you play in a symphonic orchestra, that isn't all that common.
