Why am I not finding results in this group searching for „medical“ or „medical dtv“? 

Has really nobody in this group chosen this route? 

It seems pretty straightforward, especially if you need something done anyway, like dental work. 

Or am I missing something?

It must be a long-term treatment plan or they will just tell you to get a Non-O based on medical treatment

Many people have, and reported on doing it. It requires meeting with your Thai medical doctor, and getting a long term treatment plan written, and signed by them. You can't do it by just making an appointment.

thanks! Searching for „dental“ actually gives me results but „medical“ did not although there are many posts. Strange. Thanks for your answer!

Yes people do use this route, but clearly it applies to dental procedures like implants, orthodontics though routine cleanings or checkups typically do not.
