		<description>Dear Lillian,
 
I just returned from Scotland where I was giving a lecture to dentists on occlusion and the use of the deprogrammer.  How long one should wear the deprogrammer was a question that came up during the question answer period so you are not alone with your inquiry.
 
The deprogrammer is usually used as a diagnostic appliance and the duration of use is limited.  Since I don&#039;t know the specifics of your situation I can only share what we do here. Typically we have our patients wear the deprogrammer for one week or less and evaluate the position of the jaws to confirm that they are fully deprogrammed.  Often this is all the time they need but we will extend the amount of time the deprogrammer is worn if necessary for up to two or three months as needed.  Occasionally patients will keep their deprogrammers and use them when they have flare ups with head aches, popping tmjs, muscle tension and other TMJ symptoms. The appliance is not recommended for long term use because it could potentially damage the teeth or bite if worn for extensive periods of time. 
 
With regards to your treatment plan estimate,  I am not shocked by the amount because extensive dental reconstructions can run that high, especially if there are many teeth or surgery involved. 

This type of work requires a great deal of precision and skill and quite a few hours of work by a team of technical and highly trained individuals.  With this being said, it is also fair to say that there might be alternatives that ane not quite so expensive.  Have you asked your dentist for alternative treatment plans?  Most dentists will give you options and the pros and cons of each.  If you still feel like you need more information then you can go to another dental office for a second opinion.   Generally for complex treatment plans like yours there is more thatn one approach that make sense.  I do like the fact that your current dentist is using a deprogrammer for diagnostic planning.  It sounds like you are probably seeing a conscientious practitioner who has taken extra training classes for this type of work.</description>
