The dental assistant tells Lennie he's going to have to "wait for her hand and foot because she's going to be in a lot of pain." Lennie replies, "I do that all the time anyway." Whitney gargles that Lennie is "lying".

The orthodontist puts on Whitney's braces. He points out that the suspenders will not be too "rigid" this time. Whitney takes the whole process in stride. “I need more work than her. I don't know why she's so embarrassed. My teeth are worse,” admits Lennie.

Lennie begins to wonder why he doesn't have a dental plan at Whitney. “I'm the sole proprietor of an LLC. You don't get insurance. I pay you very well, and there are benefits. I pay for your gym membership. I pay for your training with Jessica…” , says Whitney.

The braces continue without a hitch. "I love them. I'm so excited," raves Whitney. The braces are clear and barely noticeable.

"I'm going to say this. I think it's a lot more wrong than it looks. In fact, I don't think they look so wrong," Whitney said, showing off her braces.

She is my most big treasure and my best friend," Whitney read. My Big Fat Fabulous Life airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on TLC.
