What those gold teeth say is that he was a punk in training.
If you look at the pictures from when he was 14 say that he had some nice looking teeth. How does one have such poor dental hygiene in three years as to require six GOLD caps? And who paid for those gold caps and who signed for the work to be performed on a minor?
The bottom line is that Trayvon was not going to make it to 25.... His life was ended a few years early by a cop wannabe instead of a real cop, Seems to me this is no great loss. It might matter to his family, but his untimely demise is not a great loss to humanity and may have prevented a few illegitimate children and a few murders
I’m not certain, but they look to me as if they might be grillz. You can buy them to put over your teeth. Very popular in the hood.
Some people adapt to prison and survive a long, long time.
Those are not caps. It is a plate that is easily removed and the end of the article comfirmed that it wasn’t permanent. He apparently didn’t wear it generally.
I think that his chances of living a long life were pretty normal. I believe that Zimmerman was destined for such an encounter.

If you believe the article (which may be a stretch), it implies those were fake ‘grills’...which he put on to take a photo in.....and heck, its thug chic.
Those aren't caps, but rather a clip on arrangement that covers the teeth. Prices range from absurdly expensive down to around $30.00. This stuff was started by the rappers who had real gold caps put on their teeth, apparently just to show off their money. Some of these "grilles" (grillz) are just as expensive, but Trayvon's looked like cheap costume jewelry for the mouth.
I think there are companies that sell these things online - you just send them a bite impression, or something like that.
It is indeed the mark of a young thug-in-training... and it's not limited to the black community.
Cheap dental jewelry — Grillz. Probably of the kind you can buy for $19.95.
Maybe he took his troubles down to Madame Ruth?
The gold teeth appear to be cosmetic: they are symmetrically arranged.
What dentist would cap good teeth with gold ones? Is this ethical dentistry?
