I think I wanted it to work so badly that initially it did a bit(maybe mind over matter type of thing), but then I really didn't notice improvement and insurance would not pay for it, it got a little costly. However, I had a wonderful dentist at the Maryland Dental School working with other patients, too, so hoping they got better results than I did. Take Care, Carol
