Flexible payment plans, expert orthodontists, and a team that treats you like family.
Braces are orthodontic tools that gently guide your teeth into better alignment over time. They use steady pressure, not force, to close gaps, straighten crowded teeth, and improve the way your bite fits together.
Braces have changed a lot over the years. Forget the clunky metal and endless discomfort you might remember from childhood. Today’s braces are smaller, sleeker, and designed to fit into your lifestyle with far less hassle.
At 97 Smiles, our orthodontists tailor each treatment to the patient because no two smiles and no two journeys are the same.
Braces go beyond appearances. Yes, they give you a more confident smile, but they also solve real issues that affect everyday life. Crooked teeth can trap food, making brushing and flossing harder. Misaligned bites can lead to jaw pain, headaches, or even speech difficulties. Over time, these problems can harm your dental health.
That’s why braces are an investment not only in how you look, but in how you feel and function every single day. Patients often tell us that once their teeth are properly aligned, they notice more than just a brighter smile, chewing feels easier, speaking feels clearer, and their confidence shines through in every interaction.
At 97 Smiles, we’ve built a process that’s easy to follow and reassuring from start to finish. Here’s a step-by-step rundown of what to expect:
We start with an exam, X-rays, and a chat about your goals. Nothing rushed, no judgment, just a conversation about what you want for your smile.
Together, we design a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, timeline, and budget. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin.
When it’s time to place your braces, we use modern techniques to make the process as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Every few weeks, you’ll come in for small adjustments. These visits are quick, and they’re our chance to keep your progress on track.
When treatment is done, you’ll leave with a smile that looks amazing and works the way it should. We’ll give you a retainer so your results last a lifetime.
And through it all, our team is here to answer questions, ease any concerns, and celebrate your progress with you.
Here’s how we make orthodontics work for real people and real families:
