Cheryl Burke shocked her fans by revealing how she curbed grinding her teeth while she sleeps.
On Friday the 41-year-old former Dancing With the Stars professional — who recently underwent a shocking transformation — addressed plastic surgery speculation on Instagram, prompting one person to ask how she ‘got rid of her gummy smile.’
Cheryl replied in the comments, ‘I get Botox in my jaw to prevent me from grinding at night so maybe that has something to do with it?!’
At the start of her caption, the star prefaced, ‘Let’s clear this up for the 1,000th time…’ before listing what cosmetic procedures she has and hasn’t had.
‘Botox? Yes. Surgery? No,’ she wrote before adding, ‘Fillers? No. Scars? Nonexistent.’
Then she explained why fans have noticed that her complexion is several shades lighter.

‘Skin bleaching? Nope. My skin tone shift is just what happens when you swap tanning beds for SPF and let your natural half-Pinay, half-white self come through,’ Cheryl wrote, referring to her Filipina background.
She wrapped up the note by saying, ‘That’s it. That’s the “mystery.” You can age gracefully and still enjoy a little Botox. Stop confusing it with plastic surgery.’
Since ending her turn on DWTS, the San Francisco native has become a full-time beauty influencer.
Her post was punctuated by several hashtags: ‘#beautyover40 #makeuptips #beautytip.’
Earlier this month Cheryl opened up about how she shed weight, going from 150lbs to 109lbs.
In an Us Weekly cover story, she revealed the unexpected diet that helped her slim down.
Divulging her daily food intake, she shared, ‘I eat licorice. I have my morning fruit shake, which is more calories than any of my meals that I’m eating.
‘I have to have my matcha from Peet’s Coffee every morning, and if they have the warm pretzel bread, I’ll get it because it’s just the best thing in the world. I’m very lenient.’

Cheryl used Instagram Stories to document her cupping procedure on Friday
And she added, ‘I don’t weigh myself daily anymore because it was a problem. At my heaviest I was about 150.’
Cheryl, who was formerly married to actor Matthew Lawrence, said she’s not overly concerned with the number on the scale.
‘The last time I checked, I was 109. I feel f***ing great; my energy is on another level. That 109 doesn’t matter, what matters is how I feel,’ she stated.
And now, she said she’s not actively trying to lose any more weight.
Relying on meal plans provided by a delivery service called Z.E.N. has kept her on a healthy food journey.
‘The food is delicious and it’s portion control,’ she explained of the menu, which has daily calories between 1,200 and 1,400.
