The story

EASE is a Black-owned, woman-owned, self-funded brand, built from the ground up by founder and inventor Christina E. Rogers. What began as a creative idea has grown into a movement centered on individuality, craftsmanship and forward-thinking design.

Originally from Houston, Christina moved to Los Angeles in 2011 to write songs. While building that career she found her real one — and spent seven years running an online clothing store before inventing the thing she is known for now.

In 2021 she created the Protective Mouth Grill: the first grill built with a thin, durable, non-toxic protective layer bonded to the inside, putting a barrier between the metal and your enamel. It turned the traditional grill into something both stylish and functional — and it remains the only one of its kind on the market.

“The people with the most to say are often the quietest in the room.”

Since launching, EASE has sold more than 10,000 Protective Mouth Grillz and expanded into tooth gems and protective layer services for pieces clients already own. The Guard Ya Grill Tour now runs city to city, every weekend, taking impressions and fitting clients in person — a working studio that travels.

Christina’s work has been recognized by Forbes, AfroTech, Black Enterprise, UPROXX, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, People of Color in Tech and Because Of Them We Can, and her designs have appeared across television, film and high-profile client circles.

The mission is simple: build innovative products, challenge outdated industry norms, and create new lanes where creativity and function coexist.
