1. What's Inside Your Rhino Grillz Mold Kit
Every custom grillz order comes with dental putty (base and catalyst), dental tray and ziplock bag. You will get a additional dental tray and another putty set if you order both a upper and lower grillz. US and Canadian customers will also get a bubble mailer and prepaid shipping label.
2. Detailed Steps to Making Your Mold Impression.
Brush Teeth and Wash Hands
Brush your teeth and wash your hands thoroughly to remove oils.
Knead Putties, Roll Cylinder & Spread Into Tray
Open one colored base jar and one white catalyst jar. Combine both putties in your hands and knead them together rapidly with your fingertips for 20 to 30 seconds. Roll the blended putty between your palms into a smooth 3-inch cylinder (like a small hot dog). Place the putty into the tray channel, pressing it gently to fill the curved space evenly from molar to molar.
Take Your Impression & Release Tray
Please read the section below that pertains to the grillz you ordered. For Upper Grillz read Upper Impression, for Lower Grillz read Lower Impression, and for a Full Set read BOTH.

3. Quality Scorecard: What Makes an Approved Mold?
Before packing your mold into the return envelope, inspect it against our master lab checklist:
Approved Mold (Ready to Cast)
- Deep 3D Impressions: Every tooth is clearly delineated from incisal edge to gum.
- Visible Gumline: 2mm to 3mm of clear gum tissue is imprinted above the teeth.
- No Exposed Tray: Putty forms a thick, solid cushion between teeth and plastic.
- Uniform Color: Zero white streaks or unmixed marbling.
Rejected Mold (Needs Remake)
- Bitten Through: Teeth cut straight through putty to the hard tray bottom.
- Missing Gumline: Impression stops midway up teeth with no gum border.
- Double Drag / Slanted: Patient moved while setting, creating blurry double edges.
- Streaky Putty: Putty was not kneaded into a single solid color.
