Bunnie also included footage of his surgery, along with a clip of Jelly Roll waking up.
"I don't remember any of this lol," Jelly Roll commented on the video.
The country music star admitted he used to get "picked on" for his teeth during his childhood.
"I want a pretty smile," he said. "I had an ugly smile when I was a kid. People picked on me and made fun of me and stuff – haha, b---h!"

The 39-year-old musician grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and has been open about his struggles with substance abuse. Jelly Roll testified in front of U.S. lawmakers in January regarding fentanyl use.
"I wouldn't be the man I am today if it wasn't for what I went through. I think it empowered me. I think it gave me my voice," Jelly Roll told Fox News Digital during the 2023 CMAs. "It taught me a lot about overcoming. It taught me a lot about changing and the ability to change.
"I was a horrible human for decades, and to just be able to turn that around and give a message in the music and help people … and just try to give back as much as I can in every way I can is very indicative of where I came from and how important it is to me to always reach back."
