(Algonquin, IL) — In a heartwarming collaboration between Orthodontic Experts and Make-A Wish Illinois, 16-year-old Briana’s heartfelt wish is coming true. Diagnosed with a life threatening autoimmune disorder, Briana was connected with Make-A-Wish Illinois, where she shared her sincere desire to have braces. Today, thanks to a generous donation from Orthodontic Experts, Briana’s dream is becoming a reality.
When asked why she wished for braces, she candidly shared her struggle about feeling insecure about her teeth. Briana’s excitement about finally getting braces put on was met with an emotional response by her, her family, and the Orthodontic Experts team.
Make-A-Wish Illinois grants life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses, offering experiences that range from trips to Disneyland to meeting beloved celebrities. Briana’s choice to wish for orthodontic treatment stood out for its unique and practical nature, reflecting her courage and maturity. Her wish not only highlights the profound impact that a healthy, confident smile can have but also emphasizes the deep-seated personal desires of children facing significant health challenges.
Dr. Yaroslav Yarmolyuk, founder of Orthodontic Experts, stated, “We are honored to be a part of Briana’s journey. Her story is a testament to the power of a smile and the confidence it can bring. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our contribution can make such a positive difference in her life.”
