Former drug addict transformed with drastic $38K smile makeover

A 29-year-old woman who battled drug addiction after her brother’s death is unrecognisable after she was given a dental transformation.

A former drug addict has undergone a drastic makeover after being given a new set a teeth.

Brittany Negler, of Philadelphia, in the US, went down a “dark path” after the death of her 18-year-old brother – turning to drugs to help numb the pain.

As a result of her addiction, the 29-year-old suffered damage to her teeth, including losing a few gnashers and sustaining rotting in others.

She went to see a dentist for help, but claims she was told her they were “unfixable”, and instead removed them all.

As a result, she was unable to eat and lost a considerable amount of weight.

She shared her transformation on TikTok with the clip attracting more than 31.6 million views.

“They literally pulled all your teeth and did dentures because of some minor (issues),” a shocked Dr Wilstead could be heard saying in the clip.
