A TINY electrical stimulation device inserted into artificial teeth is being hailed as the latest saviour of faltering marriages.
This new device called the Devotee is made by the Northern Ireland company Afrilloop. It has been developed in a secure laboratory in Co Fermanagh due to the sensitive nature of the device’s application.
Using nanotechnology, scientists have managed to build tiny circuit boards into dental crowns that can then be fitted into a husband’s mouth. If the husband breaks a promise or steps out of line, a distinct sharp electrical current will be activated, setting off the nerves in the jaw and tongue, eliciting a jolt of pain.
Lead scientist Lo Prifoal explained, “At first glance this may seem like an unusual device. However, the electrical impulses given out are low dosage and trials show the device to be exceedingly effective in terms of time needed to correct an unwanted behaviour verses effort required.”
The husband volunteers to have the crown fitted. If there is a tooth that is unsightly then the device will not only give the benefit of a happier marriage but also a better-looking tooth.
The trial looked at 37 couples all in various states of marital distress. The first couple to trial the device were on the brink of divorce and they had exhausted all other conventional avenues to sort out their issues including marriage guidance but to no avail. Within four weeks of the husband having the Devotee crown fitted, calm began to be restored between the couple and a happier home life ensued.
Not all husbands are suitable for the Devotee – it's off limits to anyone with a pacemaker in case of fatal electrical current interferences. This has highlighted the potential issue of wives lying on the medical history and not declaring their husbands have indeed had a pacemaker fitted.
:: The device can be bought on Amazon for £49.99 and fitted by your local dentist today, April 1, only.
