    What is the economic benefit of this?

    And if there is no or little economic benefit, what chance is there that we will ever see it happen?

      Chances are people who can afford it would pay a lot for this.

      So it’ll start out as a luxury treatment. We just have to hope it works well and they can bring the costs down.

      If it works out cheaper than dealing with other dental costs hopefully countries with socialised healthcare will pick it up.

        Teeth are far more than cosmetic. The benefits of a good set of teeth for nutritional health, let alone the costs of poor tooth health on your general health would make this an economic benefit.
