Why It Matters

Why Straightening Your Teeth Matters

Misaligned teeth can affect more than your appearance. Over time, they can impact your bite, your oral hygiene, and your overall dental health.

What We Help Prevent

Starting orthodontic treatment early or during adulthood helps avoid issues that build up over time.

  • Difficulty cleaning teeth properly
  • Uneven tooth wear
  • Jaw strain and bite issues

Healthy smile after braces at 97 Smiles Ann Arbor
Even mild misalignment can affect how your teeth wear over time and how easy they are to clean. Braces help improve both appearance and long-term oral health, even in less severe cases.
Most patients feel mild pressure for a few days after adjustments, but modern braces are designed to be far more comfortable than older systems. The discomfort is temporary and manageable.
Treatment time depends on your specific case, but most patients wear braces between 6 and 24 months. You’ll receive a clear timeline during your consultation.
No. Many adults choose braces to correct alignment issues they’ve had for years. Orthodontic treatment works at any age when properly planned.
We offer traditional metal braces, clear braces, and options tailored for teens and adults. Your recommendation will depend on your alignment needs and lifestyle.
Costs vary based on the complexity of your case. We provide a clear breakdown during your consultation and offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more accessible.
You’ll need to avoid very hard or sticky foods to protect your braces. Most patients adjust quickly and continue to enjoy a normal diet with minor modifications.
Most patients visit every 4–8 weeks for adjustments. These visits are typically quick and help keep your treatment on track.
You’ll receive retainers to help keep your teeth in their new position. Wearing them as directed is key to maintaining your results long-term.
The first step is a consultation. We’ll evaluate your teeth, explain your options clearly, and create a personalised treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect.
