Cutting a small piece of a chami and placing it over your bottom teeth
also works. I usually fold it in half first, so I have double layer.
It definitely stops the pain and doesn't interfere with your
embechoure. I've also heard of people using floral tape. Chami seems
handier though, since you can get it at music stores... just make sure
it's not the kind used for silver or laquer finishes... don't know
what the treatment on it would do to your mouth and it sure wouldn't
taste great either. :)
