Actually, isn't it more an alternate 'style' of mouthpiece, ranging across multiple
models in their catalogue? The term they use is "Profile 88," where the beak is less
dramatically sloped than the traditional design -- not to the degree of a Morgan duck-
bill, but certainly enough to make a difference in how wide one must open their mouth
to play. I'm not really sure that this property would alleviate the amount of pressure
being placed on the front teeth.
