kowpot Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 My wifes niece has always had perfect teeth. I saw a picture of her yesterday and she is wearing braces. Looking at her Facebook page, it looks as though everyone in the pictures are also wearing braces. Is this the new fad in Thailand? The parents must be going broke. But, the orthodontist in Thailand must be making a killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Braces are considered fashionable by some and have been for a while now. They look "cute". Yes it has been like this for years now, with braces of very bright colours. I was surprised the other day when one of my corporate students said she had problems pronouncing certain words because of her brace. I couldn't see that she was wearing one and she told me that it was "invisible". It was made of some, almost clear substance and really was quite difficult to see. I can't imagine that catching on.

The OP is only about 5 years too late with his comments, it seems the stainless steel ones are so last year, the new crazy is the "invisible" ones you refer to it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillageIdiot Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 As mentioned in several posts, it's a fad that is not new. I've been seeing them for 5 or 6 years already. It will eventually pass and something else will take its place. Herd behavior among teenagers... all over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieeyed Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Young women are simple. I know women that wear glasses with clear lenses just because they want to wear glasses. Like Elton John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldozer Dawn Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I was shagging a stunning girl on the sly for a while in old town phuket. I broke it off when I found out she was married. Much to my dismay. She had a beautiful big smile and, unlike many Thai girls, was a great kisser. I stumbled upon her email the other day during a computer clean up. I emaile her and a few years on she has divorced and moved back to her home province. She is still gorgeous, but has braces... I am now in a great relationship with a fantastic girl...anyone want her email address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamdiggerdoug Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I though the braces things was like the whiting in almost every product ?! I though it was more of a show of wealth, like how many thais like being as white as possible to show they are rich enough to not get tanned in the sun at work. By having braces it shows your family can afford them! Don't think its a fab either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clear braces are called "Invislign" and are removable. They cost about 200,000 baht. Also, the cost of steel style braces has come down and payment plans are offered making them more affordable. Same with breast implants. Way more in the last 15 years now than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
