The basics
What Are Braces?
Braces are precision-designed orthodontic tools that use gentle, steady pressure to guide your teeth into healthier, more aligned positions. They’re used to correct crowding, gaps, and bite issues, all while improving both comfort and confidence.
At 97 Smiles Detroit, we use advanced braces systems that are faster, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever. Whether you choose traditional metal braces or ceramic clear ones, your plan is fully customized to your smile goals.
Our mission: to make your orthodontic journey stress-free and results-driven, every step of the way.
Why Braces Matter
A straight smile isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about health. Misaligned teeth can trap food, increase plaque buildup, and lead to gum problems or jaw discomfort. Braces correct these issues and protect your teeth for the long term.
Patients often tell us that braces didn’t just change their smiles, they changed their confidence, too. With flexible financing and same-day appointments, getting started has never been easier.
