Everybody wanna flex their grillz — but let’s be real, half the people out here still don’t know the difference between deep cut and perm cut.
You probably heard both terms before, maybe even seen ‘em in videos — but when it’s time to cop your own set, it gets confusing.
Truth is, both hit hard. Both shine. But the cut changes everything — how your grill sits, how it shines, how it talks when you smile.
Because it’s not just about shine. It’s about a statement. It’s about style. It’s about knowing what kind of energy you want to bring every time you flash that grillz.
At theigt.com, we don’t just make grillz — we craft identities. And whether you’re going for that heavy Southern flex or that clean West Coast finish, understanding the cut is the first step. So let’s break it down: deep cut vs perm cut grillz, what they really are, who they’re for, and which one fits your grind.
What Are Deep Cut Grillz
Let’s start with the bolder brother: deep cut grillz.
When you see a grill where the metal fills the gaps between the teeth, that’s a deep cut. The metal isn’t just laid over the top — it’s carved deep into the mold, hugging each tooth and leaving material in the spaces between them. This creates a more pronounced, sculpted look — like a custom metal mask for your mouth.
Key features of deep cut grillz:
• Metal between teeth — gives that thick, layered, 3D effect
• More reflective surface — catches light from every angle
• Tighter, heavier fit — feels substantial, almost like armor
• High-definition lines — make each tooth stand out with bold contrast
This is the cut for people who want their grillz to command attention. It’s not subtle. It’s not background noise. It’s the kind of look that stops videos mid-scroll.
You’ll want Deep Cut if you:
• Like your jewelry loud and unapologetic
• Live for camera flashes and stage lights
• Rock heavy chains or iced-out pendants
Then deep cut is your move. Rappers, streetwear kings, club scene dominators — this is the classic choice. Think Houston chains, Atlanta trap aesthetics, or that "I just dropped a hit single" energy.
You’ll see deep cuts all over in music videos, on stage, and flashing in the back of nightclubs. That’s because deep cut grillz pop under stage lights and camera flashes. They’re engineered for drama.
And yes — they use more gold, more silver, more craftsmanship. But that’s the point. You’re not just wearing jewelry. You’re wearing a statement.
What Are Perm Cut Grillz
Now, meet the sleek operator: perm cut grillz.
"Perm cut" doesn’t mean "permanent" — it means the grill is cut to mimic the look of permanent dental work. The metal is removed from the gaps between your teeth, so the grill follows the natural curve of your smile — smooth, seamless, and gap-free.
Key features of perm cut grillz:
• No metal between teeth — creates a clean, continuous line
• Sleek, modern finish — looks like high-end cosmetic dentistry
• Lighter weight — more comfortable for daily wear
• Subtle shine — elegant rather than aggressive
This is the grill for the guy who wants luxury without the flash. It’s not about screaming — it’s about knowing. You don’t need to prove anything. Your grill just is.
You’ll want Perm Cut if you:
• Like clean lines and modern design
• Want a grill you can wear daily
• Appreciate quiet flex over loud shine
Then perm cut is your lane. This is the go-to for artists like Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, or anyone who blends streetwear with high fashion. It’s the kind of look that works just as well in a boardroom (okay, maybe a creative one) as it does at a rooftop party.
Perm cut grillz are perfect for:
Daily wear
Matching with neutral fits
Keeping it low-key but still undoubtedly luxe
They’re also easier to talk in, eat with (kinda), and forget you’re wearing — which is a win when you want your grill to feel like part of you, not just an accessory.
Deep Cut vs Perm Cut — The Breakdown
Still torn? Let’s lay it out side by side:
| Feature | Deep Cut Grillz | Perm Cut Grillz |
| Metal Between Teeth | ✅ Yes — full coverage, sculpted gaps | ❌ No — gaps are cut out for smooth flow |
| Visual Style | Bold, aggressive, high-contrast | Clean, modern, seamless |
| Fit & Feel | Heavier, tighter, more rigid | Lighter, more flexible, comfortable |
| Best For | Stage, photos, night outs | Daily wear, subtle flex, street-luxury |
| Material Use | More gold/silver — higher metal volume | Less metal — sleeker construction |
| Vibe Check | “I’m here. I’m seen. Move.” | “I’m rich. I don’t need to say it.” |
At the end of the day, it’s not about which is better — it’s about which fits your energy.
Deep cut = more groove, more metalwork, more presence.
Perm cut = more natural, more freedom, less metal showing.
So don’t ask “which one’s better.” Ask “which one feels more like me.”
Which One Should You Choose
Ask yourself this: Do you want your grillz to scream… or whisper?
If your answer is:
“I want people to notice me” → Go deep cut.
“I want people to respect me” → Go perm cut.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
✅ Choose Deep Cut If You:
Love that bling-bling Southern hip-hop aesthetic
Perform on stage or in videos
Want maximum shine and camera presence
Rock oversized chains and bold fits
Don’t mind a heavier feel
✅ Choose Perm Cut If You:
Prefer a clean, modern aesthetic
Wear your grill daily (work, events, casual)
Like the idea of “quiet luxury” with a street edge
Want something that feels natural and light
Appreciate subtle craftsmanship over flash
And here’s the best part: both cuts can be made in 10K gold, solid silver, platinum, or fully encrusted with diamonds. Whether you want a simple gold perm cut or a triple-row diamond deep cut, the choice is yours.

FAQ: Your Grillz Cut Questions, Answered
❓ What does deep cut mean in grillz?
Deep cut means the metal fills the spaces between your teeth, creating a bold, sculpted look with more metal volume and visual depth. It’s the classic “heavy” grill style.
❓ What does perm cut mean in grillz?
Perm cut means the metal is removed between the teeth, giving a smooth, gap-free finish that mimics permanent dental work. It’s sleek, modern, and low-profile.
❓ Are perm cut grillz permanent?
No. “Perm cut” refers to the style, not the installation. These grillz are still removable — just like any custom grill. They’re called “perm” because they look like permanent dental caps.
❓ Which is better, deep cut or perm cut grillz?
Neither is objectively better. It depends on your style:
Deep cut = bold, flashy, stage-ready
Perm cut = clean, natural, everyday luxury
Choose based on your vibe, not trends.
❓ How do I clean my perm/deep cut grillz?
Same as any grillz:
·Rinse with lukewarm water after wear
·Soak in a jewelry cleaner (non-abrasive) or mild soapy water
·Use a soft brush to clean edges and crevices
·Dry with a microfiber cloth
·Avoid toothpaste or harsh chemicals — they can scratch the gold.
