Alix Earle is speaking candidly about the cosmetic work she’s had done.
In a TikTok video shared on Wednesday (July 2), the 24-year-old influencer revealed the cosmetic procedure that she “immediately regretted” after having it done.

“I never wanted to post about it because I immediately felt like I regretted it,” Alix explained. “And I never want to, like, influence people to do something that I don’t think they should do.”
Alix said that she never had braces while growing up and wore Invisalign devices to straighten her teeth during her senior year of high school. However, she recalled the treatment causing two of her front teeth to appear “shorter” than the rest.
“So I did composite bonding,” Alix said, which added length to the teeth, but also made them fragile.
“So, like I’m an anxious person, and sometimes if I have a bad dream, I’ll bite my teeth in my sleep — and they would, like, crack off,” she explained. “It happened a lot, honestly.”
When she first decided to get veneers, she initially only wanted to get two to fix those problem teeth, but a dentist convinced her to get 10.
“I don’t know, honestly, kind of emotional for me,” Alix said while holding back tears and recalling how she followed the dentist’s advice, but really regretted it, like, right away.
“And I think it was really scary for me, and I was like, ‘What did I just do?’” she continued. “And I had such good teeth and, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I have to keep up with this for the rest of my life.’”
Alix noted that since her veneers look “really similar to my normal teeth,” she immediately questioned, “‘Why did I even do that in the first place?’”
“I will say I don’t regret a lot, but it is something I really regret doing,” she confessed. “At the end of the day, whatever. It was my decision, but I feel like it was kind of one of those decisions that was made pretty fast. And I just didn’t think it all the way through or, I think, talk to enough people.”
Alix also shared that one of her veneers just recently chipped as she was sipping a margarita out of a straw while talking to Kate Hudson at an event.
She said that Kate was “so, so sweet” about the little mishap, adding, “Thank God for her because otherwise I would’ve been alone, crying about my tooth.”
Throughout the video, Alix filmed herself filing down the chipped tooth to make it smoother.
