Hip Hop Grillz and Gold Teeth No Longer Only For Rich Rappers

For under $20 you can have a set of grillz and wear them in minutes.

Back in the day, grillz were very expensive. This was because every single grill was hand made to custom fit your teeth. Think about how expensive dental wear is, this is because a lot of labor is involved. Only the people with money to burn were able to get gold teeth or iced out crowns. Everyday folks didn't think it was worth the money or the hassle. In those days, you had to make a mold of your teeth first. This mean sinking your teeth into some molding puddy, then sending it into a lab to create a mold of your teeth. Then the grill is made from expensive metals like gold or at the cheapest, silver. You were still looking at at least $300 for a plain set of silver teeth. Those days are over. Now you can get hip hop grillz for under $30.


The grillz market changed once it became mainstream sometime in 2005. Rap songs were released solely talking about iced out teeth and how that represents money and success. Everyone wanted some and because of that, many jewelers got into the grillz game and started offering them in their stores. The problem was it was very time consuming and expensive. Sometimes after all the waiting, the item wouldn't fit properly and had to be sent back.


Now, you don't have to go through all of that. No need to pay hundreds for a grill. You don't even have to wait 2-3 weeks, not even 1 week most of the time. Now you can buy your hip hop grillz and mold it to your teeth yourself at home. This is because hip hop jewelry stores like hip hop bling has began offering smarter versions of gold teeth. These are the latest versions that are universal fitting. But you don't have to worry about the jewelry feeling uncomfortable because they all come with a silicone mold that you heat up and fit it directly to your teeth. Once it dries and hardens, a custom fitting grill is created.


Now here comes the amazing part. These universal fitting caps were first introduced at around $100. Large hip hop jewelry retailers like hip hop bling purchase factory direct and for the first time ever you can purchase a combo, top and bottom grill set for under $30. This is wholesale level pricing, direct to consumers.


These pieces of jewelry are a great alternative to the old way of making them because you get the same look at a much better price. The gold or rhodium plated pieces shine just like the real thing. They are completely removable so you can take it out or remold one at any time. Now any hip hop fan can get that hip hop star look without spending hundreds or even thousands and waiting weeks or months.
