I don't intentionally play off center, but every time I look at the mouthpiece cushion, the two tooth marks are offset to the right, so, apparently, I do. Numerous teachers have told me that it's not a problem. All my mouthpieces are symmetrical, if that means anything. There's a chance that only my upper jaw is offset when I play, however, in which case the reed wouldn't really be affected.
Edit: I should add that I play with the barrel turned counterclockwise 10-20 degrees.
