'I Spent $160 On Bunny Teeth — I Love Them But Haters Call Me Ugly'

The Philippines' Palawan is where Ulya Nikita hails from. She is causing controversy on the internet for a distinctive makeover that cost her approximately $160 and a dental upgrade that Caters paid for.

Imagine Ulya wanting her smile to be noticed in 2017. She had just had her braces removed. She went to the dentist to extend her teeth and requested resin-based treatment.

She fell short of her smiling target on the first attempt because it didn't quite touch the spot. I'd like to continue.

Ulya's resolve remained unflappable despite a little oversight leading to dental discomfort.

She went into her second dentist appointment with more courage and a more focused goal in mind: a smile that was distinctly hers. She received encouragement from the breeze in Palawan.

Ulya Nikita maintains her composure as gossip on the internet swirl around her, demonstrating that true beauty always emerges when one has faith in change.

"While I was at the dentist, I asked for them to be a little longer than before because ever since I got the first ones back in 2017, I always felt like it needed a little more length, so that's what I did," she said.

"I love them. Even though I grew up in a community where every kid my age had braces, and straight teeth was and is the standard, I love them," she added.

Although Nikita finds joy in her fresh smile, some online critics seized the chance to dish out negativity.

Last month, Nikita shared a video on TikTok under the handle @ulyanikitaa, flaunting her revamped teeth. The clip has now garnered over 4 million views, accompanied by an influx of unkind remarks.

"Ummmm… its a bit too much. Looks unnatural," one said.

"If I has her dentist I wouldn't have done that," added another.

However, many of Nikita's fans adored her new look.

'Why are people so mad about a decision that has NO EFFECT ON THEIR LIVES WHATSOEVER. Get over yourselves, she looks cute and she's happy ✨," wrote one of her supporters.

"honestly, keep on smiling , you're beautiful!!!!!! x," another said.

She also took the time to address both the negative and positive feedback with Caters.

"I got tons and tons of negative comments but also the same amount — if not more — of positive comments," she said.

"At first, it hurt me a little for people to tell me outright that they were ugly, but honestly, so much more people loved them, and the most important part is that I love them," she added.

And now that Nikita has bunny teeth of her own, she started spotting others who have teeth like hers.

"I never paid too much mind to the little quirks of other people's teeth, but ever since I got my bunny teeth, I started noticing more and more when someone had them.

"Not only that — I also thought about how lucky other people were when they had natural bunny teeth."

In addition, she said she started spying others' unique teeth.

"As time passed, I didn't only notice when someone had natural bunny teeth; I also started noticing when others had their canine teeth higher than usual and thought it made them look prettier cuter, or more handsome," she said.

Nikita also expressed her surprise at how much her decision to transform her smile seemed to astonish people.

"I didn't think people would get so shocked with the fact that I wanted longer two front teeth, and if people are getting them more now than before, then dentists everywhere must truly love me!" she said.

Conversely, a different beauty influencer who underwent dental procedures had a notably different experience. Layla Muntas, in contrast, was utterly dismayed when her dentist unintentionally bestowed upon her a trio of front teeth last year.

She said she now notices other people’s toothy traits. @ulyanikita / CATERS NEWS
