What Are Metal Braces?


Metal braces are the traditional orthodontic method using metal brackets bonded to the teeth and an archwire to gently guide teeth into their correct positions over time. Colorful elastic ligatures (O-rings) secure the wire to the brackets and are changed during every adjustment. This is the most widely used and proven method for achieving a perfect smile.

Metal braces components: Brackets and Archwire

Pros and Cons of Metal Braces


[ Pro ] Highly durable and capable of fixing complex bite and alignment issues.
[ Pro ] Fun to customize with various elastic colors every month.
[ Pro ] Fixed to your teeth, so you won't forget to wear them (unlike clear aligners).
[ Con ] More visible than clear aligners or ceramic braces.
[ Con ] Requires caution with hard or sticky foods to prevent brackets from breaking off.

 

Who Are Metal Braces For?


There are various orthodontic options, each with its own strengths. An orthodontist will help evaluate which method best suits your dental condition and lifestyle.

Metal Braces
Ideal for correcting a wide range of mild to severe malocclusions.
Perfect for those who don't mind the traditional look and enjoy choosing rubber band colors.
The most cost-effective solution compared to other types of braces.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign / Zenyum)

Ideal for adults seeking a discreet, near-invisible option. Requires strict discipline to wear them 20-22 hours a day.

If you are unsure which option fits you best, feel free to consult with our English speaking dentist for a personalized assessment.

FAQ: Getting Braces in Bangkok & Costs

How to find an English speaking orthodontist in Bangkok?

Communication is crucial for a 2-3 year treatment. At CDC Dental, we pride ourselves on providing an English speaking dentist and team to ensure you fully understand your treatment plan. We are located near BTS Saphan Kwai and Lat Phrao 109 (near the Yellow Line).

Do I need a certified orthodontist for braces?

While many clinics offer braces, fully certified orthodontists who have completed specialized postgraduate training are relatively rare in Thailand. For the safest and most effective results, we strongly recommend choosing a verified specialist.

Can tourists get braces in Thailand?

Orthodontic treatment requires long-term commitment (usually 2-3 years) with monthly adjustments. Therefore, getting full orthodontic braces is only suitable for expats, those working in Thailand, or long-term residents. It cannot be accommodated for short-term tourists.

Are the prices different for foreigners?

No. At CDC Dental, we believe in fair and transparent pricing. You will pay the exact same price as locals with no hidden "expat fees".

How much do braces cost in Bangkok? Can I pay in installments?

You can start with our Metal Braces Promo by paying only 999 THB (~$28) for records/scans plus 1,000 THB (~$28) for digital X-rays on your first visit. Monthly installments start at just 1,600 THB (~$45), with the total treatment plan costing around 45,200 THB (~$1,290).

How long does treatment take and does it hurt?

On average, treatment takes 2-3 years depending on your case. Pain is minimal; you will likely experience a tight sensation for the first 2-3 days after each monthly adjustment, which is highly manageable.
