Braces in Saginaw, MI
Straighten Your Smile with Braces at Jennifer MB Schau, DDS
At Jennifer MB Schau, DDS, we offer traditional braces to help patients of all ages achieve a straighter, healthier smile. Whether you're seeking orthodontic care for your child or you're an adult considering treatment for the first time, braces remain one of the most effective and time-tested solutions for correcting alignment issues.
Braces are ideal for addressing:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Jaw misalignment and bite function issues
By applying continuous, gentle pressure over time, braces gradually move your teeth into the correct position, creating not only a beautiful smile but also improving your overall oral health.
If you're unsure whether traditional braces or another orthodontic treatment is best for your needs, our team will guide you through your options, including clear aligners and Invisalign, during your consultation.
Why Choose Braces?
Traditional metal braces are highly durable, customizable, and capable of correcting even the most complex alignment issues. For patients looking for reliable, long-term results, braces remain a top choice. We often recommend braces for:
- Children and teens who need early orthodontic intervention
- Adults seeking a more affordable and effective alternative to aligners
- Patients with significant bite or spacing concerns
Unlike some removable options, braces stay in place 24/7, ensuring consistent progress with minimal daily effort. For many patients in Saginaw and the surrounding areas, braces offer peace of mind and predictable results.

FAQs About Braces
- How long does treatment with braces typically take?: Most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months, though this can vary based on the complexity of the case and individual response to treatment.
- Are braces suitable for adults?: Yes. Many adults choose braces to correct alignment issues they didn’t address earlier or that have developed over time. We offer braces for patients of all ages.
- What’s the difference between braces and Invisalign?: Braces are fixed to your teeth and work 24/7, making them ideal for complex cases. Invisalign is removable and often chosen for its discretion and flexibility.
