I have heard the expression in your grill meaning in your face but not that people have grills in their mouths

It is considered to be attractive. Many well to do people have them made because they are a blatant show of wealth. In many countries and places even braces are seen as a show of wealth to where people will buy fake braces to wear to look wealthy as it is considered to be attractive. Many people when faced with having a false tooth put in or a cap opted for gold rather than enamel as it was a show of wealth and then diamonds were added such that it has also become habit in many places to just have caps with diamonds put on teeth as a show of wealth. It is seen as being attractive to the opposite sex in certain cultures and groups not just in the US such that the objective is to attract a more desireable companion by stating I can take this good care of my teeth such that economically as this is not a necessity it is a luxury babe I have luxuries for you or lujos por ti. I see this commonly in Hispanics the diamond in the teeth of those who came from better off families in Hispanic countries but not commonly the very rich just the better off.

I see it as another way to display the amount of disposable income one has i.e. showing off their wealth. Many celebs have grills consisting of many $$$ of precious metals and jewels. Just as many wealthy people collect many $$$ worth of these same jewels and metals to wear for special occasions or increase their net worth. It is just a lifestyle expression, every class level has material items that they use to express to others that amount of disposable income they can use to buy luxury things in life.

The same reason they wear their britches down around their knees. To annoy everyone. And look cool.

Oh, those are just reflectors. Very expensive reflectors. But I'm sure they're life savers, eh.
