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!!

Wonderful, enjoy! It really is the best having a braced partner, if they're someone you truly love... life is perfect!
-
Reading this makes me happy.
Happy new year to you and you wife.
Metal lowers perhaps? Life is short.

Enjoy, no doubt you'll like the outcomes too.

The day has finally come! I picked up my invisalign 4 weeks ago and am on my 3rd set of trays. It is a bit of a sensation with the pressure on the teeth.
My wife finally got her braces today! Unfortionaly she opted for the clear. Our dentist uses fastbraces, I haven't found too much info on them. Still, what a babe with the new hardware on her teeth. Updates as we progress!
-
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.

A bit of a change has happened since I last posted. Monday I went in for my Invisalign check. The dr wanted to take impressions for another 10 trays. That would be another 20 weeks minimum for the Invisalign. I decided to have the fastbraces fitted!! I will only have them 6-9weeks to finish correcting some teeth that haven't fully rotated. Having paid $6000 for the Invisalign treatment already, I still had to pay 3000 for the braces. I can't stop smiling, the wife and I only will be braced together for 2 weeks before hers come off. Looking forward to a great few weeks and perfect smiles.

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?

Oh, she knows about the interest in the braces. She has the clear retainers.

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.
