Dr. Ayushi Toley Ganorkar is a dentist currently pursuing MDS in Orthodontics 2nd year at Chattisgarh Dental Research Institute, Rajnandgaon. Though dentistry was not her first choice, she took up the course as there was no option left for her. However, she rose through the ups and downs and learned a lot about dentistry and life through college. For her master’s, she chose Orthodontics as her major as she had a keen interest in the subject and wanted to explore more.
Dr. Ayushi turned her career towards orthodontics after marriage. While practicing dentistry, she realized that she needs to stop this and grow more. That’s when she decided to appear for the exam and pursue a master’s in orthodontics. Like many other students, Dr. Ayushi faced self-doubt during the preparation for the exam. Will I pass and score well? Will I get admission? Will I get the desired branch? Dr. Ayushi was surrounded by her own questions, but she overcame them by studying hard every day. As she was married, she had certain responsibilities too, though she had a supporting family. Handling all that and studying to her fullest every day made her what she is today. She focused on the present day and forgot about the past hard days that she faced.
Not many people understand the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist. Dr. Ayushi said that there is more in orthodontics than dentistry. It may look very simple from the above, but it has many things deeply rooted inside. She explained with an example, endodontists have a specific treatment plan for a particular issue of the tooth. In orthodontics, each patient is given a customized treatment and different patients have different treatments.
The current trend in orthodontics is that of a clear aligner system. There are multiple brands that manufacture it, but today even orthodontists can produce in their own office and use it to treat patients. This trend is growing, says Dr. Ayushi.
The Legit Talks asked Dr. Ayushi why orthodontists are known for bringing out the best smiles in people. Dr. Ayushi explained that there are two things: An aesthetic smile and overall facial harmony or facial balance. Orthodontists focus on facial balance more rather than focusing on just the smile. There are some people who just need to correct their smile as their facial balance is perfect (like actresses), and then there are people who need to have facial harmony. The way the teeth move, the orientation of your nose, the orientation of your upper jaw and lower jaw, and much more are now possible with all new techniques and efficient biomechanics. This has helped to correct any shape and make it more pleasing.
This, however, cannot be considered as a beauty treatment. The process involves different alignments such as the alignment of the upper jaws with the nose, and also the overall facial profile. It is difficult and different from what a dentist does to beautify your smile.
Everybody has a secret that no one knows about and The Legit Talks asked Dr. Ayushi about hers. She said that she has a mandatory checklist every day for the to-do tasks. If, for consecutive days, she is unable to prepare such a list or strike off the tasks, she gets cranky.
As mentioned at the beginning of the interview, becoming a dentist was not the first choice of career by Dr. Ayushi. If not a dentist, she would have been a news anchor!
The Legit Talks asked Dr. Ayushi about her proud moment, to which she denied having one. She just makes every day count and lives contently.
The five-year plan for Dr. Ayushi involves her living happily with her family. She has always longed to spend time with her loved ones and she is looking forward to it. She also plans to open two clinics of her own.
It is often said that we grow through what we go through. It was not Dr. Ayushi’s first choice of becoming a dentist. She considered it as God’s plan and she anchored it. Today she has learned so much about the field and she grew as a person too.
The biggest challenge in Dr. Ayushi’s life was the step of marriage. Married life changes everything, especially for a girl. Adjusting to a new house and people, their habits, their likes and dislikes, and on top of that trying to grow your career is a big task. Things are different for a girl when she is at her mother’s house and when she stays with her in-laws. Her responsibilities grow and there is so much to look after, that girls get pretty less time to study. Dr. Ayushi, however, strived hard through all these with determination toward her career and studies.
Dr. Ayushi is grateful for having a loving husband and a family. She’s also grateful for whatever she has achieved. She feels blessed as she got everything she asked for. She is also grateful for her parents as they have been supportive through all these years, especially her mother.
The message that Dr. Ayushi has for the viewers is that Trust your Timeline. Do not compare your life with others, trust God and whatever he has designed for you.
Dr. Ayushi appreciates the efforts of The Legit Talks team and how they strive hard to let people know the unknown. Short but impactful stories are what makes this platform legit, says Dr. Ayushi.
