I (28M) want to pay to fix my gf (23F) teeth. How do I bring that up?
Post Body

with looks aside and zero emphasis on aestheticsā€¦ How do I bring up that Iā€™d like to cover her cosmetic dental work PRIOR to proposing and our wedding? Without giving her a complex or changing how she thinks I view her as is (which is perfect)

Background: My girlfriend (23F) and I (28M) have been dating for a few years. Things keep getting better and the outlook is great. We established a timeline during college and will soon be ready to take the next step. With that level of confidence in mind, we have been saving and preparing physically and financially for a wedding ceremony. Sheā€™s mentioned a few times that, ā€œwedding pictures are the most important pictures we will ever take together and [she] wants to look the absolute best [she] ever will.ā€ She canā€™t afford cosmetic work but I can and know she would want it now rather than later. She is a recovering nail biter and doesnā€™t have the best dental genetics. She flosses and brushes 2x a day but her dad lost all of his teeth d/t poor hygiene/smoking/genetics before 50. Her family couldnā€™t afford braces growing up and her bottom row are all misaligned. She has a significant overbite. From what I know about teeth, sheā€™s really at risk for losing them in the future due to crowding/damage and that REALLY worries me. Idk why, but it does.

Yes, I understand marriage is more than how we look and sheā€™s not so superficial as to ever even mention her teeth besides jokes about them falling out one day. Even with no teeth, Iā€™d take her every day!
