For lower teeth guard, if you can find them, the EZO denture cushions can be cut into little squares, folded and placed over the lower teeth. They come in two different thickness. Cigarette paper works, but not as well and comes apart, and finds it's way on you MP rails.
The EZO is like a gauze cloth that is impregnated with paraffin. And, they last a LONG time ... will not come apart like paper. Charles Bay also had a material for padding the lower teeth, but I cut thru it quickly ...
Nowadays, we are so lucky to have so many options for clarinet players. Many, many great innovations, instruments, MPs, reeds ... it's a candy store.
Yeah, I am an old geezer and struggle my way along the clarinet path. My problem is that I stopped playing several times, and never had complete fundamental training on the instrument in the early years. I had 4 excellent lessons when I was 11 years old and then a gap until I was about 28. The dude that taught me originally was a task master ... would qualify as child abuse in today's PC world!
Have fun!
