Grillz, the ornamental dental jewelry that has become a symbol of style and status, especially in hip-hop culture, require meticulous craftsmanship to achieve both aesthetic appeal and durability. In this blog, we will delve into the various techniques used by iCEGIANT in crafting grillz.
Prong Setting vs Pave Setting
Two popular methods of setting diamonds in grillz are prong setting and pave setting.
Prong setting involves securing each diamond with small metal claws or prongs. This method ensures that the stones are firmly held in place, making it less likely for them to fall out. However, the downside of the prong setting is that the grillz can appear bulkier due to the visible prongs, which might not be as visually appealing as some customers prefer. Moreover, because of the detailed work required, the CAD design process for prong-set grillz can take longer production time.
However, the pave setting allows for a more seamless look, as the diamonds are set very close together with tiny prongs that are nearly invisible. This technique results in a thinner, more comfortable grillz that feels lighter in the mouth. The smaller prongs also enhance the sparkle of the diamonds, giving the grillz a dazzling appearance. Nevertheless, the cost of manufacturing pave-set grillz tends to be higher due to the increased labor and skill involved.

Rim vs Rimless
When it comes to the structure of the grillz, choosing between a rim and rimless design depends on personal preference and practical considerations.
A rim grillz features a silver edge around each tooth, providing additional security for the stones and preventing them from detaching. However, this design has limited flexibility; if the wearer's teeth change in size, the entire denture may need to be remade. Additionally, the creation of rim grillz is more complex, requiring more time for CAD design, polishing, and overall fabrication.

In contrast, rimless grillz offer greater adaptability, as they do not have a surrounding silver edge. This makes it easier to adjust the fit if the wearer's teeth sizes vary over time. Many people find the unobstructed view of their natural teeth more attractive without the metallic border. Yet, the absence of a protective rim increases the likelihood of stone loss, which is a drawback to consider.

Permanent Cut vs Deep Cut
The finishing touches on grillz can significantly impact their appearance. Permanent Cut (Perm Cut), is a technique where the edges of the grillz are carefully crafted to follow the natural contour of the teeth, resulting in a more organic and realistic look.
Meanwhile, deep cut grillz are designed to cover the spaces between teeth, offering a uniform and polished appearance. Each method serves a different purpose, catering to individual tastes and needs.

Polishing Grillz
Polishing during the production process of grillz to smooth the metal surface to achieve a mirror finish. This technique not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures that the grillz feels smooth and comfortable on the teeth and gums.
🦷POLISHED GOLD & DIAMOND GRILLZ
Polished Cut Grillz
Polished Cut Grillz is made by carefully polishing the metal cut to a precise shape and then smoothing the edges to create a sleek, modern look. The grillz is both elegant and bold, with the polished surface reflecting light in a sophisticated way.
Diamond Dust Grillz
The dust effect is created by repeatedly rotating and striking the gold surface with the diamond needle on the nail sanding machine, creating irregular and shiny concave and convex surfaces, forming a unique visual effect of the rough sand surface. This process makes each concave and convex surface of the gold surface like a small reflector, forming a dazzling effect like a starry sky.If you have a low budget and want a diamond-like sparkle, you can consider this one.
Diamond Dust Cut Grillz
This technique combines two great benefits: the subtle sparkle of diamond dust and the precision of cutting. The combination of cutting and diamond dust allows for highly personalized designs, from geometric to floral patterns.
Enamel Grillz
Enamel grillz are a popular choice for those who want to add a pop of color to their dental jewelry. The enamel is applied to the metal surface using a special technique that allows for vibrant, long-lasting colors. Enamel can be used to create a solid color background or to add intricate designs, such as logos, patterns, or even portraits.
