I would go and check. The best dentist, apparently, is on the left hand side of the road as you travel from The Bamboo Bar to the railway station.

The total(!) cost for a standard braces is 30K-35K Baht.

First time visit pay about 5K-6K and every month need to change the rubbers which cost 900-1000 Baht.

60K ?! The truth is that it is depend on the kind of braces you want to do, I was talking about the standard ones and they cost about the same anywhere in Thailand (30K-35K Baht).

The more expensive are placed inside the gums that can't see it from the outside when smiling or other ones from ceramic also expensive.
See all kinds of dental braces here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_braces#Types_of_braces

About the cost: Yes, it spread over 2-3 years depend on the progress in treatment and the size of the problem in your teeth that you want to fix.
