Transcript
Coming in to Dr. Andrus, I would come in to get my exams done quite frequently — just to make sure that everything is going good, that they look good, that everything is sliding properly in my mouth, that my teeth are lined up. Everything's lined up properly. I'm able to chew, I'm able to eat anything. It's been awesome and wonderful. He's a great dentist, let me tell you. And being specialized, he does a lot of wonderful work — because trust me, my mouth had so much damage and work that needed to be done just from my previous dentist. So he had to do a lot of repairs. I ended up being so much for him to do, but he was able to do it. He was able to conquer it. He was able to get everything that I wanted done properly and right. As long as I'm satisfied, that's what makes him happy. And she has just been incredibly happy since she's gotten her teeth done. Her smile is just magnificent. I'm able to eat anything that I want. I feel nothing. They don't slide, they don't move. They just feel so natural to me. I'm able to do anything that I want with my teeth. They're mine. It's almost like I never had them done. It's my natural smile. It's perfect. It's been wonderful. Her confidence is through the roof. He has just done a fantastic job, and I absolutely love it.

One person gets the treatment. Both partners feel the difference. Eating together returns to normal. Self-consciousness disappears at the dinner table. The day-to-day mood shifts when chewing stops being a problem. The video on this page ends with a kiss from a husband who didn't have the procedure himself — but lived through the relief of it.
