Metal Mouth Message Board

Well tomorrow is the big day, my fiancé and I are both getting braced. In honor of that I figured I'd post the customary "before" pictures. Mine are on top, and his are on the bottom, shared with his permission.

Me- Metal uppers tomorrow, later metal lowers and a Liberty-Bielle (Herbst-like) appliance. Crowding, and big overbite and overjet (don't remember the numbers). Sentence is 2 years.

Him- Full metal going on tomorrow, sentence of 1 to 1.5 years. He's most concerned with the lower crowding, which happened after his lower wisdom teeth were removed.

I'm have butterflies of nervousness and anticipation, but I'm really excited to start the journey. It'll be a marathon of an appointment, records and bracing x2, but by this time tomorrow we'll both be arch-wired.

Woo-hoo! I know you're excited (if nervous). What a great way to go through the journey--with a partner! Good luck to both of you!

I love that you and your fiance are in this together. Please keep us updated and more pictures once you are braced.

Your teeth ARE very similar to mine! And very pretty too. as are your fiance's. Good luck tomorrow!

They're on!!!! I'm watching his go on right now.

Alright here's the couple shot. His ligs are royal blue.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, they were nice to read before going in today.

Lovely to see a couple going through it together.

Love the purple ligs.

Now THAT's true love!

Yay they're on Looking good the both of you!

Oh that is so cute! Will look forward to your progress - you'll both look fabulous at the end of your treatment.

I love it! What a great story to tell. Can't wait to see your progress (both of you!).

Hi Ellabelle,
Just saw your photos! Oh, my goodness, the two of you look SO CUTE!! I think this is just the most awesome story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love this! So sweet that you guys are going through this together. I will definitely be following your journey

AW! You two are the freakin cutest couple ever!!!! I wish my FI had braces with me. It would be so nice to be going through this with someone else.

I agree...cutest couple ever! I also like that you're posting for him so we can follow you both together. Don't split up your profiles!!!

I can't help but think what he was thinking when you asked to photog his before teeth. "You want what, honey? Whatever, here - [GRIN]" Now he's probably thinking "Here's my braced smile. Now that we're celebrities, we have to keep our fans happy!"
