Wavy Reeds

Do wavy reed tips cause squeaking and poor playing performance? I read that they did. What do you do about it. I see where players have never heard of soaking reeds and only lick them. Others soak in water warm or cold and various other solutions and lengths of time. Never seen so many different ways of doing things that seem to work for different people.
But I see a group of my reeds do in fact have wavy tips and do in fact squeak and not play as well as they did.
I have seen some players sand the bottom of reed and say warm water soak for a few minutes removes the wavy tips, making them straight across.
What do you recommend trying if squeaky reeds and wavy tips? At least to begin with.
