Overseasidol.com — Chinese actor Gan Wangxing recently shared a deeply personal story during his appearance on the variety show Memories Beyond Horizon.
He revealed that his lack of confidence began during his school years due to uneven teeth, which made him a target of ridicule among his peers.
According to Gan Wangxing, the teasing left a lasting emotional impact, causing him to avoid smiling openly for over two decades.
He developed habits such as covering his mouth when laughing or smiling without showing his teeth, reflecting a long-standing psychological barrier.
After entering the entertainment industry, he realized how crucial facial expressions, especially a natural smile are for acting.
Determined to improve, he decided to undergo dental treatment to enhance both his appearance and performance ability.
Initially, he opted for Invisalign and even had five teeth extracted as part of the process.
However, he later felt the treatment was progressing too slowly. Upon seeking a second opinion, he was surprised to learn that tooth extraction might not have been necessary in his case.
Undeterred, Gan Wangxing continued his dental journey using alternative methods. He wore a palatal expander for about six months, followed by traditional braces.
The entire process took several years before he finally achieved the desired results.
This transformation not only improved his physical appearance but also significantly boosted his confidence.
Today, he is able to smile freely and express emotions more naturally in his acting work.
