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.

“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.
