Interesting to hear from your Sahmi-origins! I actually worked in Rovaniemi Orchestra in Lapland for a couple of years some decades ago and had also once a student with Sahmi origins and learned to have a great value on that cultural heritage.

Now that you have successfully started to renovate your enbouchure, here's the next stage: imagine your jaws being an adjustable wrench. Adjust your jaws to open so, that the mouthpiece fits in your mouth so that it goes perfectly deep to play the instrument. Wrap your lips round the mouthpiece lower lip over the teeth upper not and you are done: your upper teeth should now be placed on the mouthpiece but not working to make pressure on the mouthpiece. And play concentrating the lips doing the work not biting.

And google Annamaret Ensemble. Very interesting folk music based stuff.
