Clear ceramic braces	`Show me with clear ceramic braces on my top and bottom teeth that blend with my tooth color`	20s

Top teeth only	`Add metal braces to just my top teeth, leaving bottom teeth without braces`	16s

How it works

Upload your photo

Choose a clear photo with a natural smile where your teeth are fully visible. Front-facing photos with good lighting work best. The AI needs to see your tooth structure clearly to add realistic braces.

Expect: Upload takes 2-3 seconds. Accepts JPG, PNG, HEIC files up to 10MB. Smiling photos work better than closed-mouth.
Describe the braces you want

This is the key step. Tell the AI what type of braces to add: 'add metal braces to my top and bottom teeth', 'show me with clear ceramic braces', or 'give me braces on just my top teeth'. You can specify metal, ceramic, clear, or even colored bands without marking anything.

Tip: Specify top only, bottom only, or both. You can also request specific bracket colors: 'silver metal braces' vs 'tooth-colored ceramic braces'.

Copy one of these to get started:

Standard metal braces (most common) Add traditional metal braces with silver brackets to my top and bottom teeth
Try This →

Clear ceramic braces Show me with clear ceramic braces on my top and bottom teeth that blend with my tooth color
Try This →

Top teeth only Add metal braces to just my top teeth, leaving bottom teeth without braces
Try This →

Colored bands for teens Give me metal braces with bright blue colored elastic bands on my top and bottom teeth
Try This →

3 more prompts

Partial braces (front teeth only) Add braces to only my 6 front teeth on top and bottom, leaving molars clear
Try This →

Self-ligating braces Show me with modern self-ligating metal braces that don't have colored rubber bands
Try This →

Lingual braces (behind teeth) Add lingual braces that go behind my teeth so they are hidden from the front view
Try This →
Review the preview

Examine how the braces look on your face. Check if the bracket placement looks natural, if the style (metal vs ceramic) suits you, and how noticeable they are when you smile. The AI creates realistic bracket shapes, wire placement, and proper dental positioning.
Refine with markers if needed

If you want braces on specific teeth only or the AI didn't apply them exactly where you wanted, tap markers on individual teeth, then regenerate. This gives you precise control over bracket placement.

Tip: Markers are useful for previewing partial braces (like only front 6 teeth) or avoiding specific areas.

"As an adult considering braces, this preview helped me get over my anxiety. I could see it wouldn't look as bad as I feared. Booked my ortho appointment the next day!" @SmileJourney32

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Design Visualization

Preview braces changes on your actual photo before committing — make confident design decisions backed by visuals.

Common Scenarios

Simulating braces on a room, outfit, or space to evaluate the look
Creating client-ready mockups that visualize braces in their specific context
Comparing multiple braces options side by side using the same source photo

Best Practices

Upload a clear, well-lit photo from the angle you'd naturally view the subject
Be specific about the braces — color, material, size, and placement all matter
Generate 2-3 variations to have meaningful options to compare

📷

Professional Proposals

Win client approval with realistic braces previews that show exactly what the finished result will look like.

Common Scenarios

Building a presentation deck with braces visualizations for a client pitch
Showing stakeholders braces options before ordering materials or starting work
Creating before-and-after comparisons of braces for a project proposal

Best Practices

Use the client's own photos for the most persuasive previews
Label each option clearly (Option A, B, C) for easy discussion
Note that braces previews are approximations — set expectations about final results

📷

Personal Decision-Making

Try before you buy — preview braces on your own photos to make smarter purchasing and lifestyle decisions.

Common Scenarios

Previewing braces before making an expensive purchase
Testing how braces looks in your actual space or on your actual person
Sharing braces previews with family or friends to get opinions before deciding

Best Practices

Upload a photo of the actual space/item/person — generic stock images won't help you decide
Try the most different options first (bold vs. subtle) to narrow down your braces preference
Save each preview so you can flip between them when comparing

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which teeth should get braces from description alone, especially for partial treatments.

Try: Tap markers on the specific teeth where you want braces, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'put brackets on THESE teeth only.' Essential for partial braces or asymmetric treatment previews.

The braces look too big or unrealistic

Why: The AI created oversized brackets that don't match real orthodontic appliance proportions.

Try: Try: 'Add realistic-sized metal braces with properly proportioned brackets to my teeth'

Try This →

Tip: Keywords like 'realistic', 'natural-sized', and 'properly proportioned' help scale brackets correctly.

Can't see the braces wire or it looks wrong

Why: The archwire (metal wire connecting brackets) might be too subtle or positioned incorrectly.

Try: Specify: 'Add metal braces with visible silver wire connecting all the brackets'

Try This →

Tip: Mentioning the wire explicitly ensures it's rendered clearly in the preview.

Colored bands don't show up or look wrong

Why: The AI might have difficulty rendering small colored elastic bands around each bracket.

Try: Be explicit: 'Add metal braces with bright [color] rubber bands around each bracket'

Try This →

Tip: Use specific colors (red, blue, green) rather than 'colorful' for better results.

Braces affect my lips or face shape

Why: Sometimes the braces application inadvertently modifies facial features beyond just the teeth.

Try: Add: 'Keep my natural lips and face exactly the same, only add braces to my teeth'

Try This →

Tip: Markers on teeth help constrain the edit to the dental area only.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark my teeth before previewing braces?

No! Just describe what type of braces you want in natural language. The AI understands prompts like 'add metal braces to my top and bottom teeth' without any marking. Markers are optional and only needed if you want braces on very specific teeth or partial treatment.

Is this braces preview tool really free?

Yes, completely free with unlimited previews. No account required, no watermark. Try metal braces, ceramic braces, different colors, top-only, bottom-only, or any combination as many times as you want.

How realistic are these braces previews?

The AI creates realistic bracket placement, wire positioning, and proper dental appliance appearance. However, this is a visualization tool showing how you'd look with braces, not a clinical prediction of your specific orthodontic treatment plan. Your actual braces will be placed by your orthodontist based on your treatment needs.

Can I preview different types of braces to compare?

Absolutely! Generate multiple previews to compare metal braces vs ceramic braces, different colored bands, or top-only vs full treatment. This helps you decide which orthodontic option you'd feel most comfortable wearing for 18-24 months.

Will this help me decide whether to get braces as an adult?

Many adult users report that seeing themselves with braces reduced their anxiety about orthodontic treatment. The preview helps you visualize the temporary aesthetic impact and decide if the end result (straight teeth) is worth the journey. Some find ceramic braces are less noticeable than they feared.

Is EditThisPic's AI braces previewer really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I preview braces on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI braces previewer support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
