I need two for my molarsare they signifigantly less then the resin/poreclin mix?
French link. It has two joints which encourages the horse to play with it and produce saliva which in turn makes the mouth softer. Also its a pretty soft bit and having the two joints means that there is no 'nutcracker' action on the roof of the horses mouth
a safety pin and the 14gauge lip ring are not even close to the same size err that's going to be really painful but you can do it (and btw i was much less sterile than you described when i did my lip and as long as you keep it clean afterwards things should turn out ok- act non-alcohol mouthwash was best for me and antibacterial soap on the outside) a less painful way would be to use a 16 or 18 gauge ring; and you might not want to ice the area beforehand b/c that make the area harder to push the needle through
