A Teen’s Journey to Confidence with Braces in Chandigarh
For many teenagers, getting braces is about more than just straightening teeth — it’s about building confidence, embracing change, and growing into their best smile.
This is the story of Mehak, a 14-year-old from Chandigarh, whose journey with Dr. Anshu Gupta (MDS, PGIMER Chandigarh) at Advanced Dental Care Center turned self-consciousness into self-assurance.
👧 Meet Mehak – A Teen with a Shy Smile
Before braces, Mehak rarely smiled with her teeth in photos.
She had crowding in her front teeth, a mild overbite, and often complained of discomfort while chewing.
Her parents wanted a solution that was:
• Effective and aesthetic
• Comfortable for school and social life
• Affordable, with flexible appointments
After hearing about Dr. Anshu Gupta’s reputation as Chandigarh’s best orthodontist, they booked a consultation.
👩⚕️ The First Visit – Education, Not Pressure
Dr. Anshu took the time to explain Mehak’s condition using 3D scanning and visuals, making her feel involved in the decision.
She was given options:
✅ Traditional metal braces
✅ Tooth-colored ceramic braces
✅ Self-ligating braces (with shorter treatment time)
Mehak chose ceramic braces — discreet, effective, and teen-friendly.
🦷 Life with Braces – The Real Teen Experience
Over the next 14 months, Mehak:
• Brushed after every meal (thanks to her braces kit!)
• Avoided sticky foods — even though she missed chewing gum 😅
• Got check-ups every 6 weeks, scheduled around school exams
• Received orthodontic wax and hygiene tips for comfort
At school, her friends noticed her growing confidence — and even asked where she got her braces!
📸 Transformation Time – From Nervous to Naturally Confident
By the end of her treatment, Mehak’s smile had completely transformed:
✨ Perfectly aligned teeth
✨ Balanced bite
✨ A big, open smile in every selfie
“I used to hide my smile. Now, I can’t stop smiling!” – Mehak
👨👩👧 What Her Parents Said
⭐ “We were worried it would be painful and complicated. But Dr. Anshu made the entire journey smooth, caring, and comfortable.” – Mr. & Mrs. Sharma, Chandigarh
⭐ “Her results are better than we expected. The pricing and follow-ups were very transparent.”
