Customized sheets
It seems that Ye’s (as he calls himself) new “dazzling” smile was achieved through the application of customized plates, made of titanium, platinum, palladium and other precious metals. According to what was reported by an anonymous source a ComplexWest would not have had his teeth removed but would have resorted to a procedure known as “prosthodontics”. Which consists, precisely, in fixing on the teeth of special grids.
The ones he “wears” now he would have designed himself together with doctors Naoki Hayashi and Thomas Connelly. The latter said: «It was a pleasure working with Ye every step of the way. His vision for designing unique works of art transcends dental progression. The marriage of his vision and dental science created an epic new look!
Kanye West’s relationship with his “precious” teeth
This isn’t the first time Kanye West has touched his smile. In 2010 he told Ellen DeGeneres that he had had his lower jaw replaced with diamonds. «I thought they were prettier. This is exactly the kind of thing rock stars should do,” she told the famous presenter.
