I think this is the best way to do it..........if it works. Reinhardt said the same thing. He also said that he wouldn't say anything about chops to a student if everything was working....unless he felt there could be a problem later on. I could give you a long list of very good younger players who had problems in later years. Some problems were due to dental work and some were bad habits that had caught up to them. The questions then are should they have just done what the quote above suggests? Or had they been doing that originally but stopped for some reason? I remember telling Doc about a trombone player I knew who was in a car accident. After dental repair he suddenly could play an octave higher plus his all around playing improved. Doc said he had seen this happen but 95% of the time it goes the other way.
When we get new visitors to the forum we end up repeating a lot of the same things posted in the past. Once again, Reinhardt's teachings are a way to address physical problems (only in the practice room) that are keeping you from playing at your best. When performing you should only think about "just playing the music".
