Growing up in Sabah, Harry always dreamed of smiling confidently but his unaligned teeth held him back. As a teenager, he struggled with low self-esteem, often avoiding photos, conversations, and anything that required him to show his smile. His journey reflects the reality many young Sabahans experience when dental care feels out of reach.
That is when Borneo Dental Centre, together with the Stef It Up Podcast, launched the “Giving Back to the Community” initiative, an annual effort to help deserving individuals receive life-changing dental treatment. This year, Harry’s story stood out.
A Life-Changing Opportunity: Pro Bono Braces Treatment
Harry reached out to us with sincerity and hope. He shared how his unaligned teeth affected his daily life, his confidence, interactions, and even the way he carried himself.
Moved by his story, our team selected him for a full pro bono braces transformation.
At Borneo Dental Centre, we believe that a confident smile can change someone’s future.
For Harry, that change began the moment he walked through our doors.
