28 GRILLZ / THE FAQ
Small teeth.
Big questions.
Ordering, moulds, fit and keeping your grillz looking good. Here’s what to know before we make something together.
Ordering & timing
What are grillz?
Grillz are removable jewellery made to sit over your teeth. I make each piece for the person wearing it, using their dental impressions and our agreed design.
How do I place a custom order?
Start by sending me a DM at @two.eight.28. We’ll discuss the idea, fit and quote before you pay anything. Once agreed, you pay half upfront, we take your impressions, and I make the piece. The balance is due after you’ve seen the final photos, before shipping.
How much will my grillz cost?
It depends on the metal, the number of teeth and the complexity of the design. Send me references and your preferences so I can give you a quote for your piece.
How long does the whole process take?
International orders can take around seven weeks overall. That includes posting the kit to you, your impressions back to South Korea, and the finished grillz to you. Production can take up to two weeks after usable moulds arrive, depending on the design.
These are estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date. Tell me about any deadline before we start.
Can I arrange an express order in person?
Some in-person designs can be completed within a week through an express service at an extra cost. Ask me about availability and whether your design is suitable before making plans.
Moulds & fit
How does the mould kit work?
The kit includes materials for two impressions, using two-part dental putty and a light-body injector. Read all the instructions before starting, then send me a photo of the first impression. I’ll give you feedback before your second attempt.
You post the impressions back to me in South Korea and cover the return postage. I use them to make the models your grillz are fitted to.
Can anyone get grillz?
Tooth shape and the condition of your teeth can affect whether a design will fit. That’s why I ask for a clear teeth photo before we begin. Some ideas won’t be suitable for every smile.
A photo isn’t a dental examination. If you have dental concerns, check with your dentist before ordering.
Will I need adhesive to keep them in?
My aim is a removable piece that holds through its fit, without adhesive. Some tooth shapes make this more difficult, and I’ll discuss that with you before we proceed.
If your grillz feel loose or uncomfortable, stop wearing them and message me. Don’t try to solve a fit problem with glue.
Wearing & care
Can I eat while wearing them?
Take your grillz out before eating and limit how long you wear them. Keep up your usual brushing and flossing, and clean your grillz regularly.
For general dental advice, see the American Dental Association’s guide to grillz.
How do I clean and look after them?
Gently clean with a soft toothbrush and warm, mildly soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel. Use the supplied polishing cloth on suitable polished metal areas to bring back the shine.
Different finishes and decorations may need different care, so ask me if you’re unsure. Avoid jewellery-cleaning chemicals that aren’t safe for something worn in your mouth.
What if the fit doesn’t feel right?
Take them out and message me with a description and clear photos so we can work out the next step. Please don’t bend or force the piece into place. If you have tooth pain or gum irritation, speak to your dentist.
