You know when someone you’ve been quietly cheering for pops up on national TV and you instantly feel proud?
That was us watching Tahlia Fellows step onto the stage of Deal or No Deal this February.
Big lights. Big crowd. So many cameras. And she was smiling the whole time.
Walking away with $30,000 in prizes, Tahlia described the experience as something she’ll never forget.
“It was honestly so fun!! The element of surprise when being called up will stay with me forever. It was quite surreal to be playing a game I had grown up watching and always wishing to be on. The crowd and producers made the whole experience so exciting and welcoming. Not only was it fun but I got to walk away with some winnings which is even more exciting!”
And yes, the $30,000 was incredible. But what we loved most was seeing her completely relaxed and confident in her smile on national TV after finishing her clear aligner treatment and in-chair whitening with us last year.
Behind the Scenes at Deal or No Deal
TV can feel intimidating, especially under bright studio lights and multiple camera angles. But Tahlia shared that the atmosphere behind the scenes made all the difference.
“Grant and the producers behind the scenes were so warm and easy to get along with. I honestly felt so comfortable and encouraged by the team!”
Feeling supported on set is one thing. Feeling confident in your smile on national television is another.
From Self Conscious to Stress Free Smiling
Before starting her smile journey, Tahlia admits she would have felt nervous about being filmed from every angle.
“There are a lot of cameras and different angles. The old me would have been self conscious of my smile but the new smile Urban Smile helped me with made me absolutely stress free to smile and laugh!”
That’s the difference confidence can make.
Tahlia completed her smile transformation with clear aligners, followed by in-chair teeth whitening to enhance her final result. The outcome? A naturally straight, bright smile that felt like her, just elevated.
