Good mouthpiece for a player with braces

I’m a band director and wondering if anyone noticed any mouthpieces that would be better for students with braces? Something with a softer rim with less bite maybe?

Probably a clarinet mouthpiece. 😉

Seriously, I have a lot of students with braces, I don’t think any particular mouthpiece helps much. Most of my students are on garden variety Bach 7C, 5C or 3C. Some of them do like the “Morgan bumpers braces guards”, they seem to help a little.
