The basics

What Are Braces?

Braces are orthodontic systems that gently and gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Using steady, comfortable pressure, they correct crowding, gaps, and bite issues to improve both appearance and overall oral health.

At 97 Smiles Okemos, we offer both traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces, giving you options that fit your lifestyle. Our modern approach means quicker results, fewer appointments, and a smoother experience overall.

We know every smile, and every story, is unique. That’s why we tailor your treatment with empathy, precision, and respect for your comfort.

Why Braces Matter

A straight smile isn’t just about looks, it’s about wellness. Proper alignment helps prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw discomfort, while also boosting confidence and self-esteem.

We’ve seen patients walk in nervous and walk out smiling, not just because of their results, but because of the kindness and clarity they received along the way.

At 97 Smiles, our mission is to make sure you feel comfortable in the chair, confident in your treatment, and excited about your future smile.
