that's about as low as it gets ... until dental insurance grabs hold of it and makes you pay for a higher premuim to get the SS post, or go with a paper clip.

Ick, not to mention that many paper clips are coated which will flake off when you bend them...

A paper clip is just Low carbon steel. With the acid in your mouth it will rot away very quickly. Imagine having a funny taste in your mouth for a year. Very unprofessional and totally inconsiderate.
