What We Offer

Orthodontic care, thoughtfully provided.

Traditional metal braces on a patient

Traditional Braces

Metal braces that deliver reliable, precise results for every age and every case. Modern brackets mean less irritation and faster progress.

Clear Invisalign aligners

Invisalign®

Nearly invisible aligners that straighten teeth without the look of metal. Remove them for meals, clean them easily, and wear them your way.

Child visiting the orthodontist

Early Evaluation

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Early assessment helps us guide growing smiles at the right time.

Ceramic clear braces

Ceramic Braces

Clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend with your natural teeth — the same effective treatment, just more subtle.

Orthodontic retainer

Retainers & Retention

A beautiful smile stays beautiful with the right retention plan. We fit custom retainers and make sure your results hold for the long run.

Adult with a confident smile

Adult Orthodontics

It's never too late to straighten your teeth. Adults make up a growing share of our practice, and we tailor every plan to your lifestyle.

About Our Practice

A practice built on
trust — not transactions.

Betsy Meade Orthodontics has been a cornerstone of orthodontic care in Ypsilanti for years. We opened our doors with a simple belief: that every patient deserves a treatment plan explained clearly, a chairside manner that feels like talking to a friend, and results you can be proud of.

Our office sits on Packard Road, easily accessible and designed to feel warm from the moment you walk in. We see children, teenagers, and adults — and each one gets the same attention to detail, the same patience, and the same genuine investment in their outcome.

Whether you're exploring options for the first time or returning for a follow-up, we make sure you leave every visit knowing exactly where you stand and what comes next.

Why Choose Us

The difference is
in the details.

Personable, Not Procedural

We remember your name, your schedule, and your concerns. Every visit feels like a conversation, not an assembly line.

Modern Technology

Digital imaging, 3D scanning, and up-to-date techniques mean faster appointments and more accurate treatment planning.

Comfort First

Nervous about braces? We go at your pace. Gentle techniques, clear explanations, and a relaxed environment make all the difference.

Flexible & Transparent

We work with your insurance, offer payment plans, and never surprise you with costs you didn't discuss upfront.

Community-Rooted

We're right here in Ypsilanti — part of the same neighborhoods, schools, and community we serve. Your smile is our reputation.

Clear Communication

No jargon, no guessing. We walk you through every step — from diagnosis to retention — so you always feel informed and in control.

Kind Words

From families who
trust us.

"My daughter was terrified of her first orthodontic visit. The team at Betsy Meade made her feel so welcome — by the end she was actually excited to come back. That kind of care is rare."

Sarah M.

Parent · Ypsilanti

"I spent years putting off braces because I was self-conscious. Invisalign changed everything — no one even noticed I was wearing them. Now I smile without thinking about it."

Jessica T.

Adult Patient · Ann Arbor

"We brought both of our boys here for braces, and the whole experience was smooth from day one. They explained everything, answered every question, and made adjustments painless."

Michael D.
