Hello everyone, is orthodontics considered medical treatment? Because I saw that DTV has a medical treatment, I plan to have orthodontic surgery in Thailand in September, can I apply for a DTV visa?

I’ve heard yes. You just need to get a support letter from them confirming your appointments to apply and be accepted

Show the embassy page was a suggestion for the OP to show his doctor. The doctor did not understand DTV . The other 2 are what you need for your application

The DTV allows you to stay in Thailand for medical treatment. There should be a diagram which shows that.
