Not necessarily. Pain can come as the instrument rotates on the fulcrum of the lower lip/teeth. The instrument (bell) drops, controlled by the R thumb, and the mouthpiece presses upward against whatever is supporting it - the upper lip, the upper teeth (SL) or a combination of both ( normal DL). One reason so many DL players play seated with the clarinet's bell supported in one way or another is to minimize the rotational pressure.

No argument from me with any of the rest of this. I just hate to see pain blamed solely on biting.
