What is a braces filter?

A braces filter adds orthodontic braces to the teeth in your own smiling photo, so you can preview the look before treatment. Kenerate AI opens its image editor with the braces instruction filled in; you add a photo where your teeth show, and the model adds brackets and a wire while your face and background stay the same.

Tips

Get a clear braces preview

Braces are small details; these help.

  • Use a photo with a wide smile so your front teeth show.

  • Name the type: “metal braces”, “clear ceramic braces”, “braces with blue bands”.

  • Close-ups work best because the brackets are small.

  • Keep “same smile, same teeth shape” in the prompt.

  • It shows the look only, not how your teeth will move.

  • Ask an orthodontist which type suits you.

FAQ

Braces Filter questions

How can I see what I'd look like with braces?

Upload a smiling photo of yourself with your front teeth visible to the braces filter and press Create. Kenerate AI opens the image editor with the braces instruction already written: brackets on each visible tooth, a thin wire, same smile and background. A close, well-lit photo gives the clearest result, because the brackets are small details.

Is the braces filter free?

Yes, to start. A new Kenerate account gets free starter credits, which work on free-plan models such as Qwen Image 3.0, the default here. Seedream 5.0 Pro and Nano Banana 2 need a one-time credit pack rather than a subscription, and credits you buy never expire. Results download without a watermark.

Can I try clear or coloured braces?

Yes. Change the prompt before you press Create: “clear ceramic braces”, “braces with pink bands” or “braces with blue and purple bands”. Keep the line about your face, smile and background. Each run edits your original photo, so you can compare metal, clear and coloured versions side by side before you talk to an orthodontist.

Link to this answer

Does the braces filter show how my teeth will look after treatment?

No. It adds braces to your teeth as they are in the photo; it doesn't predict tooth movement or the final result. Think of it as a look preview, not a dental tool. For what treatment could do for your teeth, and which type of braces fits your case, ask a licensed orthodontist.

Can I use someone else's photo?

Only with their permission. A braces preview still edits a real person's likeness, so use your own photo or one the person has agreed to, and share the result only with their consent. Never upload a photo of anyone under 18; the filter is for adults editing their own pictures. Kenerate's content rules apply to every edit.

Braces Filter, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.

How the braces filter works

The braces filter is an instruction edit. Your photo and one sentence go to an image model's edit endpoint; the model draws brackets and a wire over the teeth it can see, matches them to the light in your photo, and leaves the rest of the picture alone.
