Can you go into more details? Where is your tongue? On the reed? Or is it hitting the bottom lip? Thanks! For starters I think, if I understand the question correctly using "ee" is old school. Perhaps from the 1950's and 1960's or so? So I'm concerned and need a bit more information! Before I say anything lets get more details. How is your sound? Do you pinch at all with your embouchure? Do your upper lips tend to go to the side of your mouth or push down towards your lower lip?

Just so you know we all have habits which might need correcting from when we first started playing.

I got lucky, had braces and played with a double because it didn't heart my upper teeth and I didn't bite. Maybe you are actually just fine when you articulate. Can you take a selfie, pic of the placement? Use a mirror so you can see well.
