A TikTok content creator who was previously bullied online for her teeth has just undergone a huge dental transformation.
Chelsie Marie, 26, has been steadily building up her following on TikTok and has currently wracked up over 100k followers with a combined total of 1.6 million likes across her page.
While supported by her followers, the 26-year-old has also had her run-ins with trolling over the way her teeth look.
All about preaching "Self love is the best love", according to her TikTok bio, Chelsie made the decision to put an end to the trolling once and for all with a total smile makeover.

Taking to TikTok, Chelsie couldn't wait to share the incredible transformation with her followers.
She captioned the short clip: "Transformation queen, new teeth who is this!!!"
Chelsie starts the video off by showing her teeth pre-dentist before panning to an unrecognisable post-dentist shot in which she shows off her brand-new set of pearly white smile.

Wracking up a whopping 5.2 million views, over half a million likes and nearly 10k comments - it's clear that the internet was just as shocked with Chelsie's transformation as she was herself.
TikTok users flooded to the comments section in the thousands to compliment Chelsie's new nashers with one writing: "As someone who’s insecure about their teeth I’m SOOOOO happy for you!"
Another echoed a similar sentiment, chiming in with: "You are GLOWING with confidence!!"
"Your confidence shot through the roof and I’m here for it," a third added.

Others were filled with curiosity over Chelsie's dental work with many asking questions about all the ins and outs of the exact work she had done.
"I work in a dental office and I’m super curious what procedure you had done?" one pondered.
Another asked: "Please tell me how you got these and if they are veneers?"
A third similarly commented: "So are they permanent? Like veneers or a bridge? I need my teeth done and I’m terrified to go..."

Responding to the queries and questions surrounding her smile makeover, Chelsie promised followers she would open up about the work she had done in a separate video.
"I’ll be making a video soon on it all!" she assured other TikTok users.
A day after the original video was uploaded, Chelsie kept true to her word and posted a video captioned: "Dr. Kenny explains: Chelsie's condition."

"This is so everyone can educate [themselves] and realise that there are a lot of reasons teeth go bad! Not from drugs. If I did drugs I'd own up to it! Some of y'all need to educate yourself on a lot ! Do better!" she continued.
The dentist explains to the camera that Chelsie has something called "fluorosis" which he says "changes the appearance in tooth enamel" and is "caused by an over-exposure of fluoride early in life".
Chelsie followed up the smile makeover journey with yet another video in which she recounts that she would "recommend it" to those interested in the procedure and dubbed the whole experience as being "ten out of ten."
