The Complete Braces Process in Bangkok

1. Consult with Orthodontist

At CDC Dental, you can book a complimentary assessment and discussion with an orthodontist. Our orthodontist will examine your dental structure and jawbone to suggest the most suitable treatment options for your specific needs.

2. Pre-braces Documentation

Before beginning orthodontic treatment, the orthodontist will gather comprehensive data to thoroughly examine your situation, including: mouth and facial photography, X-rays, digital teeth scanning or dental molds.

3. Pre-braces Dental Treatment

If dental issues are identified, such as cavities, wisdom teeth problems, or calculus buildup, the specialist will suggest addressing these concerns before commencing orthodontic work to ensure optimal conditions.You can review dental procedure costs through the provided link.

  • Dental Cleaning: 900 – 1,500 baht
  • Tooth fillings: 900 baht for initial surface, 600 baht for each subsequent surface
  • Tooth extraction: 900 – 1,500 baht

4. Orthodontic Appliance Placement (Bonding)

Before installing braces, your orthodontist will discuss your personalized treatment plan with you, including whether dental extractions are necessary or if auxiliary components like orthodontic anchors will be required.
Once you understand the treatment strategy, your orthodontist may install appliances on your upper teeth first to help you adapt to having devices in your mouth. Following installation, you will receive guidance on oral hygiene and management during treatment.

5. Regular Braces Adjustments

For metal braces, you will need to visit your orthodontist every 4 weeks for braces adjustment. This process is essential as it facilitates tooth movement into proper alignment according to the treatment blueprint.

6. Retainer

After braces treatment has finished, you'll get retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions.
