After taking a 10 year spell of not going to the dentist my wife and I finally bit the bullet and made the appointment.  Among plenty of other dental work to be done orthodontics were recommended for both of us.  I chose to go the easy way out with the invisilign.  My impressions will be December 30th.  Its estimated I will have them for 12-14 months.  I really want to get metal braces, but I don't think I could do it with my career and being so self conscious. 

My wife on the other hand will be going with full metal braces both top and bottom with elastics.  Her treatment will be starting slightly behind mine as she has some other dental work to be done first. 

She has always know of my interest in braces.  We even got her the fake braces made several years ago.  But there has always been some hesitation to wear them.  Soon she wont be able to take them out.  We are both excited to start this process and get out beautiful perfect smiles!!

Reading this makes me happy.
Happy new year to you and you wife.

Metal lowers perhaps?  Life is short.

heard very nice your lucky

What a ride the past 10 months have been!  But unfortionatly The wife is scheduled to get her braces removed this month.  Its a bit bitter sweet, but I am looking forward to her perfect smile once they come off. 

Me on the other hand, I believe I am on set 23 of my trays, changing them every 2 weeks.  If anyone were to think about invisalign I would not recommend them.  An absolute pain to live with.  If I were to do it again I would have definitely gone for the ceramic clear fastbraces as my wife got.  What a sensation kissing her and running my tonge across her brackets and rubberbands.

Cant wait for the process to be done so that we can both get our matching metal fake braces.

Update**

The wife got her braces off   But there is still something to be said about a perfect bright white smile. 

I had my first 3 week adjustment just after Christmas.  Man! how much more painful these fast braces are then the invisalign!  Only 6 more weeks to go.  But I am enjoying every moment.  I just wish I had got these a year ago rather then start with the invisalign process.  Ive seen more progress in the last 3 weeks the last 11 months. 

Has anyone had any similar stories to share?

Hey

Sorry for my bad English

my wife has braces now and I am to join her in a few months.  We'll probably overlap by one month unless she finishes early.  He getting them sparked my interest.
