I find that, though wavy reeds on Bb clarinet are annoying and do inhibit the reed's ability, it is not the worst problem you could have. On larger clarinets and saxes, however, waviness poses a larger threat. On contrabass it makes the worst squawking sound you will ever hear (paired with a Rico reed, where the window of the mouthpiece is longer than the vamp, the sound is guaranteed to happen with a wavy reed). This can be solved, like how everyone else has already suggested, by smoothing out the tip on a flat surface like glass. I have a friend who uses the screen of his phone, which is glass, after all.
