\u201cEvery time I went back, they told me it was no big deal – and then they eventually ghosted me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The sloppy dental work forced her to spend a further $51,600 (US$30,000) on corrective surgeries from another dentist. <\/p>\n
Now 24, Brazinsky said she\u2019s \u201cstill insecure about my teeth because of everything that\u2019s happened\u201d.<\/p>\n

Fittings involve an \u201cirreversible\u201d procedure where the tooth enamel is shaved down into peg-like shape, and when performed incorrectly, pose significant health risks.<\/p>\n
