I started playing a few months ago and settled on an embouchure whereby my upper teach touch the mouth piece and my lower lip is drawn over the bottom teeth.
I have a significant underbite and my lip gets really sore from the teeth resting on my lip so I've been trying a different embouchure where the lip is more forward and doesn't go over the teeth (it's in the tamingthesaxophone section on embouchures).
My lip isn't sore from my teeth anymore but this technique is really hard on my cheeks and jaw - they get achey and I never had that problem before. Is that to be expected - is it something that will improve over time?
