JoelC Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi Im looking into Braces when I move to Thailand and wondered if anyone has any recomendations for such work? So far the online prices I've seen are about the same as in the US. Am I just seeing Farang adjusted prices or is it really that high there like it is in the US? Thanks!

beano2274 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Go into the dentists yourself and ask personally, also try places near Universities as most of the students will have braces, and a lot of them will leave near the campus. It also depends on where in Thailand you are gonna move to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used and excellent dentist in Bangkok, no inflated prices in this thread here http://www.thaivisa...._1#entry4886696 Dont bother with Dentajoy in the same shopping centre, sure it looks pretty but its a rip off 500 baht just to have a look, this guy speaks good English if you need it, jolly nice fellow.

Do you really need them or is it just this stupid fad they have here at the moment? I keep seeing these gormless faced girls with a gob full of metal and whose teeth look perfect to me.

rucus7 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I don't know the current prices in the U.S. My oldest daughter got braces 2 1/2 months ago in Bangkok. The total price will be approximately 1800 $US. The total time will be 12 to 14 months. This is a dental office that has been in business for over 20 years. My family uses the same office for all our dental needs. Their patients are both Thai and Western. They will tell you the total costs upfront.

lannarebirth Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) It would help to know what area of Thailand you'll be living in. Anyhow, here in Chiang Mai, our daughters teeth were done for about 45k - 50k . Total time will be aqbout 2 1/2 years in her case as she required oral surgery (included) to free a tooth that could not break through her gum on its own.

maxme Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Traditional braces with small metal things on your teeth are definitely cheaper than The US. But if you wanna go for Invisalign, clear invisible trays that act like metal braces, it is almost the same price as in the US since they have to send to the lab in the US for fabrication. This is the dentist I always use, they are great and reliable. Check it out www.bangkoksmiledental.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacificperson Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) These prices seem quite reasonable compared to the US. I am just now finishing up two treatments. With the added cost of some extractions, the cost was over $7,000 per kid. Now I have to deal with wisdom teeth.

chris2004 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 My girlfriend has had braces from a dentist in Pattaya. She needed quite a lot of oral surgery plus the braces over 2-2.5 years totalled about $1,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philisok Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I need a lot of work done on my teeth. I am in Pattaya and am yet to find a Dentist that speaks excellent English. My Thai is hopeless so I need to find that English speaking dentist to explain fully my dental problems. Any one know of such a Dentist in Pattaya? Appreciate any replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 About 50k and two years or a little more seems to be about normal here as doing in both Bangkok and Phuket at just about the same price. Total price is provided and you pay each visit/month. It may be same monthly payment or tied to what is actually done each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
