Okay, so I’ve been seeing these grillz everywhere lately, and I got curious. You know, those shiny things people wear on their teeth? Yeah, those. I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. So, I started digging around.
First off, I found out that these things have been around for a while, especially in some parts of the Southern U.S. It is used to be a sign of being poor, a way to cover up bad teeth. But now? Total fashion statement.
I wanted to get some for myself, just to try them out. But not those permanent ones. I just wanted to give them a test run, to see what it would look like. So, I looked around for places that could make some custom ones for me, but nothing too expensive.
Then, I spent some time figuring out what kind of design I wanted. I mean, there are so many options! Gold, silver, diamonds, even colored ones. It’s wild! I decided to go with something simple for my first time. Just a plain gold one for my bottom teeth. Nothing too flashy.
After I made a decision, I had to find a way to get an impression of my teeth. Some places want you to go to a dentist, but I found a place that sent me a kit. It was like playing with clay, but for your teeth. Kind of weird, but it got the job done. I packed it up and sent it back to them.
Waiting for them to arrive was the hardest part. It took a few weeks, but finally, they showed up at my door. I was so excited to try them on! I popped them in, and man, it felt weird at first. Like having a mouthguard in, but shinier.
- First Impression: Felt weird, but looked cool.
- Wearing Them Out: Got some looks, some compliments.
- Eating and Drinking: I could not do that.
- Talking: Took some getting used to, but I managed.
I wore them around for a few days, just to see how it felt. I even wore them out to a party. Got a lot of attention, that’s for sure. Some people thought it was cool, some just stared. But hey, it was a conversation starter.
Eating and drinking with them was a no-go. I had to take them out every time. And talking? Let’s just say I had a bit of a lisp at first. But after a while, I got used to it.
Would I do it again?
Honestly, I’m not sure. It was a fun experiment, but it’s not really my style. Maybe if I had a special event or something. But for everyday wear? Nah. It’s too much work. Plus, I like being able to eat whenever I want, and the grillz will stop me from doing that.
But hey, if you’re thinking about getting some, go for it! It’s a unique way to express yourself. Just be prepared for the attention, and the extra effort it takes to wear them.
