I wonder if this will work for people that never got their adult teeth to begin with. My mom is missing like 4, and her mom 7. I'm sure they'd love to get some real replacements

I heard about this before and from memory, that's how this started. People were researching why adult teeth weren't growing and were looking for what could make them grow.
