Understanding Braces

What are braces?

Braces are dental treatments that help fix teeth alignment problems using controlled force to gradually move teeth into new positions. Orthodontist Bangkok specialists use various tools including metal brackets, wires, or clear aligner systems. Many patients research braces Thailand reddit forums to learn about others' experiences before making their decision.

Orthodontic Treatment Objectives

Straightening your teeth offers more than just a beautiful smile - it addresses oral health issues and improves how your teeth function.

  1. Enhanced appearance: Transform your smile and boost your confidence with properly aligned teeth
  2. Better chewing function: Correct bite problems and misalignments for more efficient use of your teeth. This is particularly helpful when teeth have shifted after extractions, as treatment can realign tilted teeth, close extraction gaps, or create space for dental prosthetics
  3. Improved oral health: Patients with severe crowding often struggle with tartar buildup because proper cleaning is difficult. Aligned teeth significantly simplify your dental hygiene routine
  4. Long-term stability: Bangkok specialists carefully plan each case to ensure lasting results. Remember that after your treatment concludes, wearing retainers as directed is essential to maintain your new smile

Many Bangkok residents and international patients find that investing in quality orthodontic care from English-speaking specialists provides excellent value compared to Western prices while maintaining international standards.

What Age Should You Get Braces?

Orthodontic treatment can be done at any age, with different considerations for each age group:

Children (6-12 years)

Age 7 is the best time for an assessment, as this is when jaw growth occurs and permanent teeth begin to emerge. Early intervention can fix problems before all permanent teeth erupt. See details

Teenagers (13-19 years)

The most suitable time for braces, as all permanent teeth have erupted and teeth move faster than in adults, making treatment more efficient and taking less time.

Adults (20 years and up)

Adults can also get braces, with various options including Damon braces, clear aligners, second-round braces, continue your braces treatment from your country, and partial braces for specific needs.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

Treatment duration depends on several factors such as bite complexity, age, patient cooperation, and the type of braces chosen:

  • First-time cases: Average about 1.5-2.5 years
  • Second-round cases: May be shorter, possibly 3-18 months
  • Clear aligners: Treatment time can be assessed in advance based on the number of aligners needed

Do Braces Hurt?

Braces may cause some tightness or pain, especially after adjustments, but symptoms are usually tolerable:

  • Discomfort typically occurs after adjustments but varies by person
  • Pain generally decreases within 2-3 days
  • Avoiding hard foods can reduce discomfort
  • Common pain relievers like paracetamol can help if needed

What Are the Steps in Orthodontic Treatment?
