or titanium. It, I will say it is a simpler recovery because it has that two-piece design. The two-piece design allows for the implant to be buried beneath the gums. Because it's being buried underneath the gum, it gets to hide from the oral environment, which I always tell all my patients that the oral environment is a hostile place. There is no external appliance required during the recovery, which is what you see right there on the left, that Essix, that retainer, that Invisalign retainer that you see. Overall, it is a shorter, more straightforward healing process.
