# 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.

## In depth

### 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.

### Types you can preview
Describe any of these in the prompt:
- Metal braces: silver brackets and a wire.
- Clear ceramic braces: tooth-coloured brackets that are harder to spot.
- Coloured bands: elastic ties in one colour or alternating colours.

## FAQ
Q: How can I see what I'd look like with braces?
A: 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.

Q: Is the braces filter free?
A: 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.

Q: Can I try clear or coloured braces?
A: 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.

Q: Does the braces filter show how my teeth will look after treatment?
A: 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.

Q: Can I use someone else's photo?
A: 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.
