Re: (upper) lip protection

Hey Jennifer,

Well I must admit, I only read diagonally through the advantages / disadvantages part.. it is a +100 pages so I am working on it.

But the part that you mentioned to gradually work up the time was actually read. But interpreted mostly, just as you say, as a time period to strengthen the muscles .
So far I had no muscle aches in the facial area, in which case a slow build up would definitely be necessary.

My reasoning for asking more information on practical experience with this topic is that upper lip Is basically clamped between upper incisors and the MP , who's is being pushed upwards by my thumb. This pressure although not strong is necessary but leaves a indentation / bruised part in my upper lip, and small damage of the mucosa by teeth edge which is narrow.
(Not as sharp as when I was young, but still). By adding some sort of cover over the teeth one could widen that edge.. and lowering the local pressure on the lip.

Doing this would (IMHO) be beneficial right from the beginning, hence my qualification.

But please let me know if anyone disagrees with my reasoning.

Kind greats

Matthieu
