I have also had the issue of my front teeth becoming sore with longer term use of a gag. I have no solution to the issue but will listen to all you knowlegable people out there.
I like using gags, but as a Master once told me, He did not like using them too much, especially longer term and when he was not specifically watching (or there was an alarm I could use) because it isn't just breathing that can be an issue. The sub might take a reaction to a scene or become sick. Even the use of ball gags with holes, and muffle gags, vomit could not get past the gag quick or effectively enough and could choke the sub. He cautioned very highly on never using anything that blocks the mouth that cannot be taken off quickly, including hoods, especially hoods as there is less to see the sub's reactions on.
Im sure I am preaching to the converted, but I figured I would pass on what little I know. I understand that someone using gags so often would likely not have commonly issues with gag-reflex, but in a scene (or even in sleep) unexpected reactions can happen.
In terms of the use of alarms when gags are used, I am a firm believer in them, whether it is the sub clenching or unclenching a fist for the Dom to see, or a jingle ball or other noise that would alert the Dom. A couple that are used to playing with each other may have a better idea of signs of discomfort that such an obvious thing as a jingleball might not be needed, but it is a good way to start certainly, especially when using gags when safewords are not an option.
