Bulimia & pregnancies left my teeth crumbling – I won't get married until my smile is fixed

Fundraiser launched for mum who is desperate for a new set of teeth LET ME SMILE Bulimia & pregnancies left my teeth crumbling – I won't get married until my smile is fixed A BRIDE-TO-BE is hoping to get a new set of gnashers in time for her wedding day - after bulimia and pregnancies left her teeth 'crumbing'. Michele Glen, a 35-year-old mum-of-two, is so embarrassed about her crooked, broken and discoloured teeth, she avoids smiling, dodges social gatherings- and has been left unable to work. 4 Bulimia and morning sickness during her pregnancies took a toll on Michele's teeth 4 Michele currently wears a partial denture, which barely stays in place 4 Michelle and Craig hope to finally tie the knot in front of their two children and family 4 Michele with her teeth before they became damaged Her fiancé Craig Armstrong, 37, hopes to raise £15,000 for dental implants as a permanent resolution - so the couple, of Fintry, Stirlingshire, can finally get hitched. He said: 'We can't plan the wedding because Michele won't walk down the aisle because of her teeth. My main thing is to get her smile back. 'I want to see her light up in photos with the children. I want to get married and watch her smile freely on our wedding day - I want her to feel proud, not hidden.' Michele was formerly 'bubbly', but her battle with body image as a teen and into her twenties, led to bulimia.

Craig, an electrical technician added: 'As they deteriorated, so did her confidence. She stopped smiling. Stopped talking as much. 'She slowly began to withdraw from the world.' Her worsening mental health and struggles with her appearance, stopped her from returning to work as a dog carer and walker - and she's even feared leaving her home. He said: 'I've seen her cry quietly over old photos where she still had her smile. 'Weddings, birthdays and simple family dinners have become so painful and humiliating, that she has pulled away nearly completely and her soul shatters any time our kids ask, as they are old enough to know. Here's how to do festival looks on a budget - and save the planet "It affects her speech and makes her self-conscious causing her to cover her mouth constantly. " The GoFundMe has raised more than £4,000 so far - and since being shared on Discord, X and Reddit, Craig says the plea has even found unlikely support from America TV Actress Candice Patton and WWE wrestler-turned film star John Cena. He said: 'The Reddit post has had 1.3 million views, over a thousand shares and 200 comments. 'There has been an anonymous donation of £400, and a donation under the name of The Flash TV show actress Candice Patton. We don't know if it is her but it is an unusual name. 'The wrestler John Cena has also followed Michele on X after she posted it there, so we think he must have seen it."
