Very expensive too. I go Thursday to start. Pls pray it goes ok, I don't gag, and the cost doesn't exceed what I've been told it will.
Very stressed. TIA

He glued a semi-permanent splint on bottom teeth. Model came in from the lab and got my new nightguard. Front teeth won't meet wo more dental work thus more money though.
Thanks for caring!
