Michele, what a rod, I am confused again. Elegant approach to minimize the risk of micro cracks at the ferrules. I assume the NiSi crowns add some weight there -Well, personally Iwould not mind...

amazing! You've created a really great overall aesthetic that is unique and cohesive. What are you using for the ivory substitute?
