How it works

Bookimed is free for patients – clinics pay us a commission, and you pay the clinic its own price with no markup. Five steps to your temporary anchorage devices in Thailand:

  1. Share your case

    Tell us about your orthodontic case and share your latest X-rays and photos showing your bite.

  2. Get treatment plans

    Your coordinator finds clinics that match your needs and helps you choose. Your preferred clinics then send personalized treatment plans and quotes for you to compare.

  3. Plan your trip

    We set treatment dates that work for you and help arrange your flights and accommodation.

  4. Visit the clinic

    The clinic team places your temporary anchorage devices on the agreed date. We support you throughout your trip.

  5. Back home

    You can fly home the same or next day after placement, and movement takes 6–24 months. Your coordinator stays in touch and helps arrange a follow-up if you need one.

Some clinics ask for a deposit. A $200 or €200 deposit paid through Bookimed comes off your clinic bill and is refundable up to 10 calendar days before your visit. A deposit paid to the clinic follows its own terms.

For temporary anchorage devices in Thailand, meet the treating clinician, compare similar cases, confirm team and facility credentials, and clarify aftercare before booking.

What to check

  • Direct consultation

    Speak with the treating clinician before booking, and raise your treatment questions so you can decide with the team.
  • Review similar cases

    Request before-and-after results or references from the same surgeon to assess experience with your procedure.
  • Credentials and facility

    Ask about team qualifications and clinic accreditation – accreditation sets standards, but does not ensure outcomes. Ask whether the clinician is licensed by the Medical Council of Thailand.
  • Aftercare arrangements

    Before booking, ask what care will be available after treatment if you return home.

Temporary anchorage devices recovery timeline: what to expect week by week

You can usually fly home the same or next day after placement, with your surgeon's approval. Most patients return to work the same or next day. Normal exercise can resume within a few days, but avoid contact sports until you have mouthguard clearance. Your final orthodontic result may take 6–24 months, depending on the movement the TAD supports.

  1. Days 0–3

    With your surgeon's approval, you can usually fly home the same or next day after placement. Mild soreness or cheek pressure may last 1–3 days. Choose soft foods if sore, and brush carefully around the device.

  2. Weeks 1–2

    Your soft tissues settle, while tooth movement with rubber bands or small springs often starts right away or within weeks. Avoid touching or pulling the screw, and keep it clean. Use an antiseptic rinse only if advised. A routine check 7–14 days after placement assesses soft-tissue health and screw stability.

  3. Treatment period

    The TAD stays in place as your teeth move and is removed once the anchorage is no longer needed. The movement it supports may take 6–24 months.

When to contact your clinic: Contact your clinic promptly if the TAD feels loose or falls out, if swelling worsens or infection appears, or if pain persists or becomes severe. For chest pain or sudden breathlessness after a long flight, seek emergency help locally.

What would I say to a friend who’s hesitating? Just go for it
What would I say to a friend who’s hesitating? Just go for it. My biggest fear was not understanding the treatment plan or feeling rushed, but that wasn’t the case at all. The dentist was very patient and took the time to explain each step to me in detail. It was reassuring. The overall organisation ran smoothly and the whole clinic team were professional and happy to answer my questions. Coordination via Bookimed simplified the whole process, which helped reduce the stress of having a medical appointment abroad. I left with clear information and a good overall impression.
Proof of payment!

I would like to thank BIDC and also Bookimed for their professionalism
Hello everyone, like many other people before an operation, I wasn't feeling very well. The staff at the clinic immediately reassured and accompanied me. Believe me or not, I didn't feel a thing. The dental surgeon fitted the 2 implants in 40 minutes, and I had no infections whatsoever. My Bookimed advisor (Péguy) was with me from the start and is still with me today. I would like to thank BIDC and also Bookimed for their professionalism. Sylvain B.

The wisdom teeth extraction was done so fast with utmost care
It is a clean hospital and the wisdom teeth extraction was done so fast with utmost care. The dentist and dental personnel can speak fluent English which is important for most people like I. For wisdom teeth extraction the cost was 20000 baht for 4 teeth( including medication and nurse charge), but it all depends if the teeth has impacted. I would highly recommend the clinic.

When is the best time to travel to Thailand?

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip.
