A DENTAL expert has been brutally mocked after people compared one smile transformation to Jim Carrey’s pearly whites in the cult classic, The Mask.
One client may have wanted to fix her gummy smile – but it appears that she got a little more than she had bargained for after visiting a dental clinic in Cartagena, Colombia.
According to the author behind this masterpiece, Iliana Zarco, the young woman was desperate to improve the appearance of her gums and gnashers.
Although a gummy smile – which affects around ten percent of adults – is nothing to worry about, the excessive gingival display can be the main cause of reduced confidence for some.
The tackle this, beauty fanatics can choose between a number of procedures, including wearing traditional metal braces, lingual braces or opt for Invisalign aligners.
However, in the now-viral video Iliana revealed that the two had decided for a different approach – to plant a set of false teeth over her natural pearly whites.
The result was a brand new smile and a happy client, proudly flashing her Hollywood gnashers in front of the camera – but meanwhile the reaction online was slightly different.
Whilst the whizz and the young woman may have been all chuffed with the outcome, mortified people on social media thought otherwise, insisting the teeth were ”too long”.
Over a whopping 1.4k TikTok fans raced to comments, where one said: ”Gummy smile is 100x better.”
Another agreed, adding that the dental procedure had also significantly aged the beauty lover.
”gummy smile made her look so youthful and innocent, these aren’t “flaws”.”
Someone else chimed in: ”Her teeth were way better n cuter & suited her very well.”

”Give my sis her REFUND NOW!” a person demanded, whilst a fellow viewer reckoned she now looked like the A-list celebrity and actor, Jim Carrey, 61.
”This is a crime,” a horrified social media user was lost for words.
Recently, our own Katie Price, too, ended up being told ‘’you look like Ross from Friends’’ after she was mocked over her Turkey teeth.
The 45-year-old mum and TV personality shared a series of snaps from the last few days – including one where she was flashing a huge grin.
And whilst most people were commenting on how great Katie looked, others were quick to point out her pearly whites.
One person remarked: “All I can think of is Ross from friends…”
Another commented: “Ross from friends wants his teeth back.”
Others shared a photo of Ross in the famous episode, while someone else joked: “Doesn’t need a lamp with those illuminating teeth.”
In the episode of Friends, Ross, played by David Schwimmer, decided to whiten his gnashers in order to impress a date, a woman called Hillary.
The date was going perfectly well until she tuened off the lights and was left stunned by his very white teeth that were glowing in the dark.
