    I feel like I’ve seen a version of this story about twice a decade for my entire life.

      I remember reading one that claimed some kind of vibration device on the gums would trigger their growth. I’m like “so… the battery-powered toothbrush some people have been using for decades?” Like, if you’re gonna try to con people out of their money them at least put some effort into it.

    Cool. But I guess that this will be uncomfortable since you could start regrowing all your teeth and not just missing ones. Imagine going through childhood milk teeth update again in adulthood.
