theoldgit Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Nothing to do with visas, I'll mover your question to the Isaan forum, for local knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 What details? The whole braces industry in Thailand is a cosmetic scam industry as far as I can see (having a wife and 18yo daughter in that loop). Most dental clinics don't want to solve protruding teeth too early on so expect a few years of regular payments - or switch them onto a 'you pay' basis since it's cosmetic, not health. Clinics at a reputable hospital may be the answer, but I suspect most dentists would start from first principles anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baht bus Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks santisuk for your reply . My partner has had her braces on for 3 years and was getting them adjusted monthly , sometimes would go as long as 3 months between visits . This is done by the same dentist in the same surgery and would cost 100 baht each visit . The braces were fully paid in the beginning . My question re details refers to he treatment plan so to speak and can another dentist take over from where they left off in the last surgery . I obtained all x Ray's ,teeth moulds and written documents in relation to what plan of actin was to be taken . Surely another dentist can look at all of this , look in her mouth and tighten a few screws ? I mean that's their occupation right ? My girl says no dentist wants to help and all want to start from the beginning . ( which obviously means $$$$ ) Has anybody encountered this scenario before ? Or can someone recommended a shop to purchase small screwdrivers and pliers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baht bus Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Can anybody shed some light on braces being tightened / adjusted in another dental surgery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Adjusting braces is a pretty basic procedure for a reasonably competent dentist. If I were in your situation, I'd be taking wife, g/f or daughter, whoever is wearing said braces, to a few different dentists. Pick the one who is happy to accept a new patient & who the wearer feels comfortable with. Good dentist-patient relationship is probably necessary for required result. Cheers..... Mal.
