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.
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.
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.
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.
Visas for travel to Thailand require a number of documents. The necessary papers can be submitted 90 days before the planned departure. The list of documents includes:
Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.
As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.
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. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
