Putting lights inside the mouth?

Hi!

There are multiple options to increase brightness on a specific object or location, but adding an additional light is the most common practice.

I have seen the usage of lights in mouths several times, but it doesn't matter if this is used by other people too or if it's common, if it works for you it's OK.
