1. The teeth were fixed after he got off drugs, late 50's or so. The intonation during the 50's, particularly pre-Monk, is notoriously weak.2. I'm well aware there were many jazz junkies in the 50's. The point I made was that both his technique and his ideas were not yet all in place during the Prestige period, nor was he really doing the material he wanted to.
3. Trane's metal Link was refaced around 1962, the "Ballads" recording and a few others were the result. When the metal Link was returned, he couldn't use it, and then he had to find another he could get the same results with as before. The rubber Link is more forgiving and easier to blow, but you can clearly identify which recordings are with the rubber mouthpiece as the tone is different. Interstellar Space was done with a metal Otto Link. There were odd times in the last 2 years where he turned to the rubber Link again, speculation on my part is that his health was the main factor.
