Metal Braces in Thailand

Straighten Your Teeth with Reliable and Affordable Braces in Thailand

Metal braces are the most traditional and widely used method for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. They consist of high-grade stainless steel brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by a thin wire, which is adjusted over time to move your teeth into proper alignment.

Today’s metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than older versions, offering reliable results for both teens and adults with a wide range of orthodontic needs.

Significantly lower treatment costs
Personalized care plans based on your case and budget

How Long Does It Take?

Braces are typically worn for 18 to 24 months. The exact duration depends on the complexity of your case and how well your teeth respond to treatment. You'll need adjustment visits every 4 to 8 weeks.

If you’re only in Thailand for a short time, you can begin treatment with the first stages—such as consultation, imaging, and bracket placement—and continue care with an orthodontist back home.
