miselaineous, You are sure right there, about the cost Trouble is, there are very few dentists who are able to do the job properly. Mine will end up being around $7,000-$8,000. We really cannot afford that, but cannot afford the alternative either. So, they have a monopoly. But, I am thankful for this. That the technology exists to relieve us of these horrible symptoms. And that I finally found out what was doing me in.
