Grills, which can be stylized as grillz or fronts. They are decorative, aesthetic covers that are typically composed of jewel encrusted metals as well as silver or gold.

This makes their teeth resemble a grill.

Some people have even tried to attach their grill with some sort of adhesive or glue, something that is not supposed to be used internally. This can damage not only the teeth but the tissues as well.

At the time of writing, there have been no studies that show that wearing a grill can be bad for your mouth, but there are also no studies that indicate that wearing a grill for the long term is not harmful either. It is important to keep in mind that some grills can be fashioned out of non precious metals that can cause allergic reactions or irritation.

So let’s get down to it: are grills permanent? Not all of them, no. Grills are usually removable. That said, there are some options that allow you to have a permanent grill. These grills attach to the teeth. The buyer can also choose whether they want to have permanent grills to replace their natural teeth or simply have removable caps made of gold or any other material.

Types of Grills

There are several different types of grills that you can choose from:

Types of Grills:

  • Permanent
  • Instant
  • Custom

Permanent Grills

Permanent grills are definitely the top choice in commitment to a certain aesthetic. They are also the most expensive out of all of the grill choices. Custom designs and unique molds can cost a lot of money and put permanent grills at the top of the price chain for that reason. The thing that makes permanent grills desirable besides aesthetics is the knowledge that they won’t fall out and get lost, which is good considering the money you’ll have to spend.

Instant Grills

Instant grills are one of the most common styles of grills. These are premade and moldable, and once they have been molded to the shape of your teeth, they can be worn right away. They can be removed just as easily, but instant grills have a limited choice regarding what can be worn in terms of metal.

Custom Grills

Finally, custom grills are the solution for those who need the perfect fit and want something unique. You will have to get a molding kit to give the company the shape of your teeth when you send it back.

Precautions to Take

If you do wear a grill, there are some things you need to be mindful of. This includes brushing or flossing your teeth in order to stop any possible problems. Debris like food can get stuck between the grill and your teeth which will cause bacteria to form and generate acid. These acids can easily become a driving factor for tooth decay and can hurt the gum tissue. Bacteria can also lead to bad breath.

Finally, you need to consider that grills can harm your teeth in other ways. This includes irritating or hurting the oral tissues that surround your teeth. It can also wear away enamel on the teeth opposite the grill.

In order to stop such problems, it is important to not wear your temporary grill constantly. If you do have a grill, you should be taking it out before you use it. You also should clean it out daily in order to get any food or bacteria-causing compounds out of your mouth. Try not to use jewelry cleaners to do this or products that can be dangerous to consume.

If you want to get a grill, first make sure that you are talking to your dentist. You will want to discover what material a grill is composed of. You will also need to try your best to avoid creating an environment for bacteria to thrive in.

  • I’ve seen grills and honestly, I am not a fan of them at all. I think they look pretty tacky. As the article stated, gluing them to your teeth could be pretty dangerous as well. Definitely think they should be avoided!
