One selfie in · Braces on your real teeth · Nothing to download
Upload one smiling photo and see realistic metal brackets on your own teeth — online, free to start, and with no app to install.
A real braces preview, rendered by the model this page uses. Drag the divider and watch what stays put: the same face, the same smile, the same light. Only the hardware appears. Every output is AI-generated, so your result varies with your photo and how much of your teeth it shows — treat this as a guide to what the tool can do, not a fixed result you will get back exactly.


Drag to compare before and after
Two different people search for this, and both want the same picture: brackets bonded to each visible tooth, an archwire running across them, small coloured elastics, put onto your actual teeth from one smiling photo — so you can see how you would look before anything is decided.
One person is about to start treatment and wants a preview instead of imagining it; the other saw the look on TikTok and wants the picture for fun. Both want the same thing: their own face, with braces, right now. The bracket pass runs on the Nano Banana image model in the browser with free credits to start.
Upload a clear smile, set the format, and the credit estimate updates before you commit. It runs both ways too — add the hardware to a photo, or remove it from one to preview the after, which is the version people about to have them taken off tend to want.

Upload a smiling photo, choose to add or remove the hardware, pick the format, and the credit estimate updates before you generate.

Individual brackets, an archwire and elastics that sit on your real teeth with believable metal highlights. The test is whether each bracket follows the curve and tilt of the tooth under it, because that is what a pasted overlay never does.

It works in the browser with free credits: no camera app, no filter subscription, no account wall before you see a result. A clear, evenly lit smile with the teeth visible does more for the result than any setting.
Runs both ways: add the hardware to a photo, or remove it from one to preview the after. Braces are a real-world decision worth previewing first, in the same way as the build in the muscle generator or the years in the aging filter — this one just happens to have an orthodontist attached to the answer.
From one selfie to a realistic try-on, with the cost shown before you commit.
Face the camera and smile widely enough that your upper and lower teeth are clearly visible, in even light. Teeth the model cannot see are teeth it cannot fit hardware to.

Ask for metal brackets, clear ceramic ones, or a specific elastic colour — or go the other way and ask for existing braces to be taken off.
Generate, then take the preview to the consult if it helps. A failed run is refunded (unless it broke the content policy), so you only spend credits on the previews that actually come back.

People before a consult, people mid-treatment, people winding up a sibling.

See the hardware on your own teeth before you commit to treatment, instead of picturing it from stock photos of other people.

Common questions about trying the hardware on a photo with Kavel.
No — that is the main reason people end up here. Most of the well-known options are camera apps you download, sign into, and then find want a subscription before they export. This runs in the browser with free credits to start, so you can upload a photo and see the result without installing anything.
Yes. The model reads the individual teeth in your photo and bonds a bracket to each visible one, with a wire across them and light catching the metal. That is different from a flat overlay graphic, which sits on top of the image and slides out of place the moment your head is at an angle.
Yes — ask for it directly. Upload a photo of yourself already wearing them and request that the hardware be taken off, and you get a preview of the finished smile. It shows the teeth without brackets; it does not predict how far your teeth will move by the end of treatment.
As much as you can manage — this is the one thing that decides the result. The model bonds a bracket to each tooth it can actually see, so a wide open smile shot straight on in even light gives it the most to work with. Closed lips give it nothing to attach to, and heavy shadow across the mouth, a steep side angle or a heavily compressed crop all cost you individual teeth at the edges, where the wire tends to look wrong first.
Yes. Say what you want in the prompt — metal or clear ceramic brackets, a specific elastic colour, top and bottom or upper only. A run you do not like takes seconds to redo, and the estimate for each colour is on screen first.
No, and it should not be used as one. It shows what the hardware looks like on your face today. It does not model tooth movement, treatment length, or the clinical outcome — those come from an orthodontist looking at your actual bite and X-rays.
The credit estimate appears before you generate and updates with the format and resolution you choose, so the cost is visible first. Failed runs are refunded automatically (unless it broke the content policy), and new accounts start with free credits — enough to try the look and judge it before spending anything.
Your upload is used to produce your image. Read the privacy policy for the specifics on retention before uploading a picture of a child or anyone who has not agreed to it — the same care you would take with any photo tool. Treatment plans differ by mouth: an orthodontist works from x-rays and a bite assessment, so read a preview as a look at the hardware on your own face, not as a prediction of how your teeth will end up or how long it will take.
Credits are shared across everything Kavel runs. You see the cost before each run, and a failed job is never charged.
