Royal Mayans were known for filling their teeth in with jewels and gold, from 300 AD to 900 AD, drilling gems like jade and turquoise to help accentuate their beauty.

The jaded smiles of the Mayans and blinged out teeth of the late 20th century and the 2000s have now made a comeback for the 2020s. Getting fronts and teeth jewelry is in high demand, thanks to celebrity and influencer culture on Instagram, and has become more accessible to the everyday person. For some inspiration, check out this list of 15 tooth jewelry and gems you’ll absolutely fall in love with!

Openface grillz, also known as “windows”, is a style of tooth jewelry that frames teeth with metal. These are less harsh looking than full-on grillz as they simply outline the edges of the tooth. This look is super minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing on the canine tooth due to its shape.
2. Gap Fillers

Another style often seen are gap fillers. This helps fill and decorate gaps between teeth, usually with a metal bar, crystals, or colorful jewels. While most gap fillers are metal bars or stones, cosmetic dentists and grillz makers have gotten creative by designing butterfly gap fillers and word gap fillers.
