OK, I have a weird curiosity about this. How do these things stay on? Does a dentist cement them on permanently?

Looks like they would be very hard to chew with.

Dunno, I was born with mine.
 
I have to say how chavvy is anyone who wishes to have one fitted.
 
Tom, i thought you might have some to go with your Ali G costume!:smile:

anyway, while searching for more details on how these work, I came across the "advantages" section. The funniest part is that they break character from pimp talk here and go straight into Engrish!:bugeye:
everywhere else on the site said:
Now if you want to enter a new level, a level that only few pimps can reach, you got to go bling from teeth to ring. IOG can help pimp you out, match your GRILL to your pimp cup and your pimp cup to your belt and your belt to your spinner watch. All of the craziest, hottest, most blinged out accessories on the market, and they are all here.

2.The superior plating of nickel free RH.IPG which doesn't harm your body.
3.It's different with another company which is very safe and convenience for pitting.

I was anticipating this and even thought of putting it in my post. Anyway wikipedia is probably sufficient in this respect.

Looks like an invitation to trapping acidic/sugary/salty/rotting bits of food between bling and teeth, so teeth will fall apart faster. Good deal for the "dentist", I guess, if he can live with his choices.

Regardless, I'm glad you're looking into them. I always knew you were meant to be "Pimp" and I can't wait to see pics of you flashing a smile that says "Math" in fake gems.

... Although the more popular styles are the removable fronts, some opt for permanent teeth replacements.

With permanents, according to Starlight Manufacturing Inc.'s website, the tooth is shaved down significantly in order to place the crown properly and if it is removed, causes trauma to the tooth and area.

Dr. Dondre Simpson, a general dentist and a member of the National Dental Association, said, "they rot your teeth. Licensed dentists create a crown or bridge made a certain way by a dental lab and it is followed by specific instructions. [Grills] are not done professionally by dentists and it's crap what I see."

Dr. Hazel Harper, a past president of the National Dental Association, warns that, "there has to be a vital consideration of how the replacement is fitted so there is no room for decay or bacteria."

Although removable fronts do not pose a health risk, some students are more concerned with the appropriateness of wearing a grill. [continued]

Just the really savvy salemen at the flea market. "Either pay me or leave them here - and you don't want me to help you take them out!"

Well, if my teeth looked like the ones in the caricature, I'd probably go for Grillz, too.

I've seen them snap on like a dental dam that you wear to prevent clinching or grinding.

How grillz are held in place

Grillz can be permanently bonded to the teeth by a dentist or you can get instant http://www.ballersice.com" which are removable and are held in place by a special silicon "fixing bar" which molds to the teeth when placed in hot water.
