캐시닥 운영진26.03.31Views 87Likes 4 Is there a sound in the temporomandibular joint after attaching the orthodontic appliance?[4]
Today, I mentioned my orthodontic symptoms to the orthodontics department, and they removed my braces. It's more like a resin attached rather than an orthodontic device. It will be restored so that there is no sound in the temporomandibular joint again, right? ㅠㅠ

It's been about two months since I was diagnosed at a temporomandibular joint specialist hospital and started using a TMJ correction splint. Although it was said that temporomandibular joint treatment takes a long time, I receive orthodontic adjustments once a month. Now, my jaw is more uncomfortable because of the braces I wore all night. I told the doctor, and he prescribed medication again. Thank you for sharing your treatment experience with splint therapy for temporomandibular joint issues.
..💕한밧드(0:01발송)24.08.21Views 186Likes 1 Does getting braces improve the jawline?[5]
I see a friend who got braces even though their teeth are fine. We are not very close friends, and I don't contact him often. I didn't ask in detail, but... After getting braces, my jawline became incredibly slimmer. It didn't originally stick out, but after doing it, it did. My chin has become completely pointed, almost nonexistent. Does getting braces make the jawline look slimmer? My former coworker also said they were getting braces because of malocclusion. After doing it, my underbite completely disappeared. I'm worried that my niece's (female) jawline is somewhat developed now, and I wonder if it will become more prominent as she grows older. My teeth are fine because of my jawline, but I shouldn't get braces, right?
또이또이23.07.19Views 137Likes 0 Orthodontic treatment for children with narrow jaws[8]
This is a child whose permanent teeth have not fully come in yet. The dentist said that because my jaw is narrow and there isn't enough space for the permanent teeth to come out, they might come out crooked. You mentioned that it might be good to get an orthodontic consultation, but in this case, is orthodontic treatment definitely necessary?ㅠㅠ I'm curious about the reviews from people who have tried the procedure that seems to correct and elongate the chin at the same time. I'll wait until all the teeth come out first. These days, I worry because it seems like people are getting orthodontic treatment early. Thinking about constantly following you feels so distant ㅠㅠ
아몬드봉봉23.07.17Views 99Likes 1 Will orthodontic treatment change the size of the jaw?[2]
I didn't get braces when I was young because I didn't have any significant malocclusion. All the family members have undergone orthognathic surgery or orthodontic treatment. I knew about it, but recently I went to the dentist because my jaw joint was hurting. Because the upper and lower teeth do not align properly, you grind your teeth at night, which can cause jaw pain. The photo above shows the structure of my upper teeth. The square part is misaligned in the order of losing the primary tooth. It is slightly tucked inside. So, the upper and lower teeth do not align properly. It appears asymmetrical when viewed from the frontㅜㅜ My family's history includes having a protruding jaw. There is no one in the family who hasn't had orthodontic treatment. Orthognathic surgery was done by my younger sibling and my cousin's older brother. It seemed like a distant story to me. The problem is a flat, expressionless face with a broad and flat appearance. I wonder if it's because of my jawㅠ Would it get a lot better if I get braces? ㅠ
벚꽃좋아23.04.28Views 112Likes 0 How long does orthodontic treatment take?[8]
I have wanted to get braces for a long time, but I couldn't easily make a decision because of the cost and the long duration. However, since I am self-conscious about my teeth and they keep bothering me, I find myself wanting to get them done more often. I heard that braces progress a bit faster these days than they used to... I know it varies from person to person, but how long does it usually take?
서여사26.05.13Views 32Likes 4 If you are worried about orthodontic pain, here are some recommended reviews of Clippy-C.[3]
Before I first started Clippy-C orthodontic treatment, my biggest concern was the pain. Although I was told that Clippy-C moves teeth more smoothly than conventional braces, I hesitated because I had heard many stories from people around me about how difficult it was to eat properly due to the pain. I was particularly nervous on the day the braces were first attached, and I was even more worried because I didn't know how severe the discomfort would be during the treatment. However, during the consultation, the manager explained that while pain varies from person to person, it is generally manageable for most people, which put my mind at ease. Once the braces were actually attached, I felt a strong tightening sensation in my teeth for the first day or two, and it was definitely difficult to eat tough or hard foods. I needed time to adjust to the pain of the braces by eating mainly soft foods like porridge. In particular, I felt the pain again on the days the wires were adjusted each month, but it was not unbearable. As time passed, I gradually got used to it, and after about two weeks, the pain had significantly decreased, so there was no major inconvenience in my daily life. Whenever the wire came loose or I felt discomfort during the treatment, they corrected it immediately, so I was able to complete the treatment without any major issues. You thoroughly checked my teeth during the regular check-ups and meticulously explained how to manage them, which made me feel much more comfortable receiving orthodontic treatment. Above all, seeing my teeth gradually straighten with my own eyes made me feel that the discomfort caused by the pain was well worth enduring. I was very hesitant at first, but now I wonder why I didn't start sooner. If you are worried about the pain of orthodontics, I recommend getting a consultation first without being too scared. The discomfort is temporary, but the results are truly satisfying.
mhuii26.05.11Views 37Likes 3 I think it's best to get braces when you're young.[4]
hello? My teeth are very uneven. I couldn't do it when I was young because the cost of braces was expensive. But now that I'm older, I couldn't do it because I heard my gums might recede. So, a sense of regret lingers in a corner of my heart.
아하26.05.11Views 31Likes 1 I had orthodontic treatment at Harmony Dental Clinic.[12]
I made my decision regarding orthodontic treatment after visiting several clinics recommended by an acquaintance. I visited Harmony Dental Clinic in Myeongil-dong, Yonsei Woori Dental Clinic in Jamsil, and Seoul EOS Orthodontics & Dental Clinic. Harmony Dental Clinic ranked first, Yonsei Woori Dental Clinic second, and Seoul EOS Orthodontics & Dental Clinic third. The reason for choosing the top spot is that, since orthodontic treatment requires frequent visits to the dentist, I selected a location close to my home.
서여사26.05.09Views 56Likes 1 Is it true that nasolabial folds appear after orthodontic treatment?[4]
I often see reviews saying that nasolabial folds have deepened as facial fat is lost. Especially after tooth extraction orthodontics I'm a little worried because there's a lot of talk about my appearance changing. I do want to get braces, but I'm worried that it might make me look older than I am. I am curious if the difference in actual feel is significant.
영선이26.05.08Views 44Likes 4 I had Clippy-C braces done at Dain Dental Hospital in Nowon.[8]
I started orthodontic treatment at Dain Dental Hospital's Nowon branch right after becoming an adult. Clippy-C braces said A device equipped with a snap-type self-ligating mechanism but It is an orthodontic method that fixes a wire inside a bracket and then induces tooth movement. I have malocclusion and have trouble chewing food, so I started looking into orthodontics. I looked into veneers at the time, but I chose braces because I was told that a significant amount of tooth structure might need to be removed in my case. Dain Dental Hospital This is a hospital where I successfully completed my monthly appointments for 1 year and 8 months after getting my braces attached. When choosing a hospital, I prioritized accessibility from my university and workplace, whether it was a specialized orthodontic hospital, and whether it had a lot of experience. Fortunately, I chose this place because it met the above conditions. The doctors were bright and kind, and thanks to the well-organized reservation system, I was able to complete my monthly appointments and finish my orthodontic treatment with almost no waiting time. 1. Worries before the visit I was worried that starting orthodontic treatment might cause discomfort when eating, lead to tooth extraction, or cause pronunciation problems. I heard that Clippy-C has less friction than regular brackets and is easier to replace the wire. I was even more hesitant because I had no idea how much pain and discomfort would accompany the actual attachment of the device. 2. Twist Point I visited after hesitating for a while, and the consultation manager explained my concerns clearly and in an easy-to-understand way, and assured me that it wasn't serious enough to require extraction. You calmly explained how things would change after the correction and the level of discomfort during the process, and answered my questions comfortably, which helped me relax. It hurt less than I expected on the day I got the braces fitted. Due to the nature of the Clippy-C, which secures the wire with a clip, it feels less tight, and it finished faster than expected. 3. A word of counseling I still remember you telling me that orthodontics not only straightens the teeth but also creates a tooth structure that can be used healthily even as you age. Also, you gave realistic explanations regarding the eating difficulties and pronunciation issues I was worried about, which gave me confidence and allowed me to decide on the correction. You provided proper guidance regarding the cost and duration. I was satisfied because they did not recommend excessive tooth extraction or put any pressure on me. It is a retainer that you wear before going to bed. I wore it properly for about two years while sleeping to prevent my teeth from shifting back into place. 4. Impressions after the visit I am so satisfied with how my teeth have changed after braces that I regret the time I spent worrying. My chewing problems have improved, and my teeth have become even, which is great. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, don't hesitate too much. Try getting a consultation first.
mhuii26.05.07Views 65Likes 1 [Health Column] Orthodontics: Are Brackets the Answer or Clear Aligners? A Guide to Choosing the Right Device for You 🦷✨[1]
hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Have you ever hesitated to smile broadly every time you looked in the mirror because of your crooked teeth? 😢 Even if you decide to get braces "Won't it hurt too much if we put down braces?", "I heard clear braces aren't very effective?" The same worries keep piling up. Actually, there is no right answer! Depending on your lifestyle patterns and dental condition There is a separate device that fits perfectly. Today, I’m going to easily explore how to choose the perfect orthodontic appliance for you! 🌈 1. Why is the 'bracket' method still widely used for orthodontics? ✨ It is a sure and traditional method that applies 'compulsion' by attaching the device directly to the teeth. . It is a method where brackets are firmly attached to the teeth, and the teeth are moved using the force of wires and rubber bands. The biggest advantage of this method is 'predictability'. 🎯 Since the patient cannot remove it on their own, the force planned by the doctor is applied steadily for 24 hours. 🙋♂️ I recommend this to people like this! Those who say, "I don't have the confidence to keep track of the device." For those who want to see quick results with a definite 'compulsion' 💡 A word from the Director : Initially, the device may rub against the inside of your lips and feel a bit uncomfortable, but once you get used to it, it becomes your most reliable orthodontic partner! ⚠️ Food gets stuck easily, so please pay twice as much attention to brushing your teeth as usual! 2. Is the discreet 'Invisalign' really effective for correction? ? ✨ It is a smart device that captures both aesthetics and convenience by using a special transparent plastic frame. . The biggest appeal of Invisalign is, of course, its 'perfect undetectable' look! For those with a professional life or frequent important meetings, it couldn't be better. In addition, the key point is that oral hygiene management is really convenient because you can temporarily remove the device when eating or brushing your teeth. Is there anything to watch out for? ⏰ Strictly adhere to the wearing time! You must wear it for at least 20 to 22 hours a day. The 'diligence' of taking good care of your own devices determines 90% of the results! 3. The device that fits me Compare at a glance! 📊 division Bracket correction (fixed) Invisalign (removable) Is it noticeable? I can see the bracket and wire 🧐 It's barely visible ✨ What about the meal? Be careful, it can get caught in the device! Take out the device and enjoy a relaxing yum yum 🍔 Management difficulty Brushing my teeth is a little hard 🪥 Just clean the device well and you're done! 🧼 Whose will? Everything is going smoothly according to the medical team's plan! Patient sincerity is essential! 🙌 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Is Invisalign completely painless? A1. It's not entirely non-existent! 😢 However, since the force is applied more gently than with the bracket method, the pain is relatively less. You may feel a sore sensation for about 2 to 3 days after the appliance is replaced, but this is a pleasant sign that your teeth are moving nicely! Q2. Which of the two devices is more effective? A2. Rather than the performance of the device itself 'Design by an orthodontist' is much more important! With an accurate diagnosis, you can create a satisfying smile with any device. Q3. Can I clean and disinfect Invisalign with hot water? A3. Absolutely not! ⚠️ It is made of special plastic material, so it may deform in hot water. It is best to rinse with cold or lukewarm water and scrub with a soft toothbrush soaked in dish soap. conclusion ✨In the end, what matters is 'my heart' and 'expert diagnosis' Do you have a better understanding of choosing orthodontic appliances now? 🙂 Lack of willpower requiring compulsion If so? 👉 Bracket Correction! Appearance is important and the personality is meticulous If so? 👉 Invisalign! The most important thing is your oral health.

오수환 원장26.05.07Views 53Likes 1 Do I need re-orthodontic treatment for teeth that have become spaced apart after braces?[2]
It has been quite a while since I got braces, and my teeth have started to separate a little. I said I was diligently wearing the retainer, but it keeps widening. It bothers me a bit because the area next to my front teeth is slightly visible due to the gap. Do I need to get it readjusted again now? I'm worried that even if I get the braces redone, it might come apart again.
ssul011526.05.05Views 24Likes 1 I'm wondering when to start orthodontic treatment. Is it not a good idea to start after becoming an adult?[2]
My child's teeth are on the uneven side. I am considering orthodontic treatment. However, in cases where it starts after becoming an adult I am worried because I heard that it takes longer. Depending on whether teeth are extracted during orthodontic treatment Because they say the shape of the face can change, I am having trouble making a decision. Among clear braces and conventional braces I am also curious to know which method is more suitable for your lifestyle.
영선이26.05.04Views 37Likes 3 Review of Daegu Liz Dental Clinic for orthodontic treatment[3]
Ever since I was young, I have always been envious of people with pretty, even teeth. My teeth were so uneven that I was self-conscious about my smile. So I seriously considered getting braces, and I ended up getting them after becoming an adult. When I first started looking into braces, my biggest concerns were the pain and the fact that the braces would be too noticeable, so I was worried about being self-conscious when working or meeting people. Since orthodontic treatment takes a long time once you start and is not inexpensive, I was really worried that I might regret starting it for no reason. I was even more scared because when I read online reviews, there were many posts saying that they couldn't eat properly and were in so much pain for a few days after starting braces. After seeing reviews saying the cost was quite high, I hesitated for a long time before making a reservation. I heard that getting braces changes your face shape, so I was worried it might look unnatural. I couldn't easily make a decision because I heard I would have to wear a retainer for a long time. So, I kept looking at reviews and putting it off for months, but in the end, I was stressed because I was self-conscious about my teeth every time I smiled. I visited Daegu Liz Dental Clinic with the intention of at least getting a consultation. (This place had the best reviews among all the dental clinics in Daegu!) When I actually went there, the atmosphere of the dental clinic was very different from what I had imagined. Overall, it felt comfortable rather than stiff or scary, and I felt a bit at ease because they treated me well from the moment I entered. During the consultation, they showed me my current dental condition in detail and explained why orthodontic treatment was necessary. It wasn't just a matter of being told to correct it; it was easy to understand because it explained step-by-step which approach is correct for the current situation. I actually trusted them because they gave a realistic explanation of how long the correction period would take and how long I would need to wear the retainer. It wasn't like they were pressuring me to start immediately; they told me I could take my time thinking it over before deciding, which made me feel less pressured. Since I was a college student at the time, they helped me think through the financial burden. They also told me that I could pay the costs slowly in installments without interest. Haha. (This was really touching... College students don't have much money, you know... haha... ㅠㅠ) When I first started orthodontic treatment and the device was attached, I definitely felt a foreign sensation. When I ran my tongue over my front teeth, I wondered, "What is this feeling?" It was also fascinating. For the first few days, I felt like my teeth were being pressed down, so it was uncomfortable to eat hard foods and felt awkward when speaking. Even when I ate noodles, they would get stuck in my front braces... so I wondered if I got braces for nothing. I did feel a little regretful. The pain wasn't as unbearable as I had expected, and after a few days, I got used to it and was able to go about my life as usual. They checked my condition every time I visited the dentist and immediately adjusted anything that was uncomfortable, so I wasn't too stressed during the orthodontic treatment period. They also told me how to care for it when the device caused sores or discomfort in my mouth, so I didn't have to worry about it on my own. What reassured me most during the consultation was the detailed explanation of my current dental condition and how it would change in the future. I trusted them because they didn't just vaguely say things would get better if I corrected them, but realistically explained what could change. Whenever I asked questions, they didn't just gloss over them but explained everything in detail, which greatly reduced my anxiety about visiting the dentist. Even during the treatment process, they kept me informed of the progress according to my condition, so I knew which stage I was at, which made it more comfortable to attend. Also, the dental hygienists asked a lot about my daily life and talked a lot whenever they checked my teeth. Even during orthodontic treatment, I felt relaxed, and I was able to leave the dental clinic feeling good every time! I’ve finished my braces and am wearing a retainer now, but when I look at my old photos, I wonder why I hesitated for so long. Now that my teeth are aligned, I've reduced my habit of covering my mouth when I smile, and I smile much more naturally when taking photos. In the past, I used to be self-conscious about the shape of my mouth because I was worried about my teeth, but now that stress has decreased a lot! The orthodontic treatment period was long (I think I did it for about 5 years) As a result, I am very satisfied, and looking back now, I feel like the time I spent just worrying was a waste. I am managing my condition by consistently wearing my retainer, and now I feel that getting braces was really the right decision. It seems like just getting one tooth fixed has changed your impression and definitely boosted your confidence. If you happen to have a complex about your teeth like me, or are stressed and worried about it... Get an orthodontic consultation at Liz Dental Clinic in Banwoldang, Daegu. I was really satisfied! Hesitation only delays getting beautiful teeth... I recommend at least getting a consultation!
메론잉26.05.03Views 55Likes 0 Do I really need braces? Are there cases where it's okay not to get them?[7]
My teeth aren't perfectly straight, so I'm considering getting braces, but I'm not sure if I really need to. 😥 It doesn't look too serious on the surface, but I'm hesitant about whether it's right to do it now in case it causes problems later. Orthodontics takes a long time and is expensive, so it is not an easy decision. I am also curious if it affects functional issues (chewing, jaw joint, etc.) rather than just for cosmetic purposes. I would like to know if there are separate criteria for when it is absolutely necessary and when it is not. I'm also curious about the satisfaction levels and changes for those who got braces after having similar concerns. Please share your honest opinions.
아라26.04.30Views 65Likes 2 Is orthodontic treatment possible after the age of 40?[5]
I want partial orthodontic treatment only for my front teeth. But I'm not sure if it will be effective for people in their early 40s. I've made a dental consultation appointment for next week. I only want to work on my front teeth... but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding.
릴리윤26.04.29Views 24Likes 2 I'm in my late 30s. Is it okay to start orthodontic treatment now?[4]
I've been self-conscious about my uneven teeth for a while now, and I'm wondering if I should get braces even though it's late. 😥 Given my age, I'm worried that it might be too late, and I'm also curious if it will be effective. I'm also worried about how long the correction period will take and whether it will be noticeable while I'm working. I've heard that tooth extraction is often necessary for orthodontics, so I'd like to know if it's absolutely necessary. I heard I have to keep wearing a retainer after my orthodontic treatment is over, so I'm also worried about the maintenance part... I would be grateful if those of you who started at a similar age could honestly share your satisfaction, any inconveniences, and whether it was a choice you don't regret.
뽀또26.04.25Views 33Likes 2 Review of 365 Seoul Top Plant Dental Clinic for a visit regarding TMJ[5]
I really like hard foods, so I eat a lot of them, but I didn't know it put a strain on my jaw. Then one morning, I woke up and my jaw hurt so much. It really hurt so much that I couldn't even open my mouth. So, after looking into it, I was told I needed to go to the dentist, so I visited 365 Seoul Top Plant Dental Clinic in Suncheon. I thoroughly checked online reviews before going, and I chose 365 Seoul Top Plant Dental Clinic because I heard it is famous for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatments. To be honest, I was a little worried before my visit because it was the first time I had gone to the hospital due to jaw joint pain. I was worried about potential overtreatment or the high cost of treatment. There were quite a lot of people visiting the hospital, so I felt relieved, thinking that they must be coming because it is famous. The actual hospital atmosphere was bustling with patients, and the administrative staff handling registration and payment were incredibly friendly. The dental hygienists who guided us were very kind, and the director who treated us was truly like an angel. I really liked how they comforted me, worried that it might hurt during the jaw joint treatment (it made me feel like a baby, haha). The director who provided the consultation also explained the cause of my jaw joint pain and the aftercare methods well. I was told that in my case, it was stress-induced jaw joint pain. I had no idea that stress could lead to jaw joint pain. Also, I was told that my jaw muscles are more developed than others, so I tense my jaw a lot without even realizing it. They recommended getting Botox to prevent that. At first, I was a bit skeptical, wondering if I really needed Botox for my jaw joint, but perhaps because the consultation was so thorough, I gradually started to trust them. I was told that jaw joint Botox is administered when excessive tension in the masseter and temporalis muscles causes the masseter muscle to hypertrophy, leading to jaw joint pain. I was informed that this is a treatment method that reduces pain by relieving tension in the jaw joint muscles and shrinking the masseter muscle through injections! Eventually, I agreed to get the procedure, and I think it took about 5 to 10 minutes. There was almost no pain, bleeding, or swelling. Since I work, I asked if it would affect my daily life, and they said it wouldn't, so I proceeded right away. Fortunately, it doesn't cause any problems with my daily life, so I think I made the right decision with the procedure!

메론잉26.04.21Views 94Likes 0 Question) Is it okay to start orthodontic treatment now that I am an adult? I am curious about the cost and duration.[4]
My teeth weren't a big issue when I was young, but they became uneven starting when my wisdom teeth came in. Now that I am an adult, my teeth have already fully settled. Because of this, I am wondering if starting braces now would be worthwhile. I have heard that braces are most effective when done during childhood, so I am worried that it might be too late. However, I have been stressed about the shape of my teeth for a long time, and I feel that getting braces would help me regain my confidence, so I am hesitant. Also, I have a question. Cost and duration of adult correction I have heard from those around me that it takes at least two years and costs anywhere from several million to nearly ten million won, but I don't really have a sense of how much it actually costs. I would like to hear your experiences or advice on whether starting orthodontic treatment as an adult is sufficiently effective, and what I should expect regarding the cost and duration.

No matter how hard you brush your teeth tooth decay or gum disease The probability of this occurring is bound to be very high. 📌 "Do I really have to have a healthy tooth extracted?"

When consulting with patients in their 50s at the dental clinic, there are really many who wave their hands and say, "Why would I need braces at this age? I'm embarrassed." However, the 50s are not the time to give up on braces; rather, it is a very important step that determines the final lifespan of your teeth. Golden Time Did you know that it could be? Today, based on medical evidence, I will go over the feasibility of orthodontic treatment for those in their 50s and the precautions in detail. 🔍 1. Orthodontics for those in their 50s: What is 'this' more important than age? ? ✨ The key is not the number of years, but the 'gum stamina' to support your teeth. . To start with the conclusion, orthodontic treatment is fully possible even in your 50s, and the results can be very good. but, 'Foundation work' to withstand the orthodontic device The key is whether it has been done. Here, foundation work refers to the support for the tooth roots. Condition of the alveolar bone It refers to. What I check most meticulously when diagnosing patients 3 indicators It is as follows. height of the alveolar bone : Just like the soil that supports a tree, the gum bone must sufficiently cover the roots to withstand orthodontic forces. Activity of periodontal inflammation : Forcibly moving teeth while the gums are inflamed, swollen, or bleeding can be dangerous as it accelerates bone resorption. Structure of the existing prosthesis: If you already have multiple implants or bridges, careful planning that takes this into account is essential. ⚠️ If there are problems with these three indicators, I do not recommend correction, no matter how much you wish to. Because safety comes first! 2. Cases where correction is absolutely necessary vs. cases where it should be postponed for a while ? ✨ Check the 'recommendations' and 'cautions' based on your dental condition. . Enduring it unconditionally is not the answer. Depending on the situation, orthodontics is a shortcut to a healthy old age It can also be this. 📌 ✅ We recommend braces for these people! My gums are well cared for, though. People whose teeth are gradually becoming spaced apart or misaligned molar left missing Those whose adjacent teeth have tilted and whose overall occlusion has collapsed especially Creating space for implant placement If necessary It is very effective. ❌ Caution is required for these people! severe gum disease : If your teeth are very loose, gum treatment comes before orthodontics. uncontrolled systemic disease : It is not recommended for those with slow wound healing due to uncontrolled diabetes or other conditions. Middle-aged Orthodontics FAQ Q1. Doesn't getting braces when you're older make your teeth weaker? ? A1. While excessive correction can be dangerous, straightening misaligned teeth actually reduces food accumulation and makes maintenance easier, so in the long run, Great help to gum health This becomes Q2. Does the correction period take much longer than for young people? ? A2. The movement speed may be slightly slow due to slow cell metabolism. However, not a complete correction Partial correction In this case, there are many instances where it ends within a few months, so don't worry too much. What matters is not speed, but 'safety'. Q3. Wouldn't it be better to just get implants instead of braces? ? A3. If you only implant a tooth when its structure has collapsed, it may result in greater costs and time later on. Correcting the foundation through orthodontics is a wise 'preparation for old age' for the era of centenarians. conclusion 'Reconstruction' of tooth structure for the 100-year lifespan era Orthodontic treatment for people in their 50s is not just a cosmetic procedure. ✨ To eat deliciously and converse happily with my teeth for the next 40+ years A thorough cleaning and restructuring of the oral structure no see. Just as straight pillars are necessary to support a sturdy roof, aligning your teeth through orthodontics will significantly extend the lifespan of your future prosthetics or implants.

I visited the dental clinic for a consultation regarding my child's orthodontic treatment. At first, I was very worried because my child was nervous, but the director kindly explained everything at my child's level, so we quickly felt at ease. They thoroughly checked the current condition of the teeth and explained in detail, step-by-step, why orthodontics was necessary and how the treatment would proceed, which gave me confidence. I was particularly impressed that they didn't just recommend braces but also considered my child's growth stage to explain the most appropriate timing. They provided specific guidance on the types of appliances, treatment duration, and care methods, which helped resolve many of my uncertainties. The explanations were much more systematic and meticulous than at other clinics, making me feel I could trust them completely. The atmosphere was so good that my child even said they wanted to receive treatment here. Overall, it was a very satisfying visit.

I am satisfied with the orthodontic consultation at Ibaro Orthodontics and Dental Clinic in Siheung.
I visited because I became interested in orthodontics even after becoming an adult. I heard this place is famous in the neighborhood and has a board-certified orthodontist. I made an appointment, but I still had to wait a long time. It made me realize just how highly regarded this place is. Before the consultation, they took X-rays and many other photos, and after waiting quite a while, I finally had a consultation with the doctor. Since I am getting older, I wanted to think things through carefully, so I asked a lot of questions. I appreciated that they explained everything in detail. I also listened to the nurse explain things again and asked my questions about what I was curious about. I had a good consultation and left planning to visit again after I've thought it over.

정재욱 원장26.03.30Views 193Likes 2 [Health Column] Do You Lose Weight When Getting Braces? A Fact Check on Braces and Dieting! ✨[12]
hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Patients who have started orthodontic treatment "Director, I think I've lost some weight since getting braces!" He often says that. This is because wearing braces actually drastically changes eating habits and food choices. Today, many people are curious about The Real Correlation Between Orthodontics and Dieting I will give you a clear and concise explanation about that! 1. Why do I lose weight during orthodontic treatment? ? 👋 The answer lies in 'changes in eating habits' and 'more diligent brushing habits'. Small meals caused by discomfort When you first wear the device, you will experience temporary discomfort when chewing, so you will look for soft foods such as porridge, tofu, and eggs. As you cut your food into small pieces and eat slowly, your portion size naturally decreases. Gluttony won over laziness Since brushing your teeth after meals is essential during orthodontic treatment, many people refrain from eating unnecessary snacks or junk food due to the inconvenience. 📌 A word from the Director! As these changes overlap, temporary weight loss may occur initially. 2. Conversely, are there cases where weight increases? ? 👋 Yes, if you mainly eat soft, high-calorie foods, you can actually gain weight. . The Trap of Softness If you look for foods that are easy to chew, there is a risk that you will frequently consume soft but high-calorie foods such as ice cream, bread, cake, and noodles. The Temptation of Liquid Sugars If you fill up on sugary drinks instead of meals because you find chewing bothersome, it actually leads to weight gain. Ultimately, weight change is determined by 'what kind of eating habits you adopt' rather than the corrective device itself. 3. How should I manage a healthy diet during orthodontic treatment? ? 👋 As this is a long-term battle that takes an average of over a year, balanced nutrition is key. . ✅ Avoid these foods. You should be careful as foods that are too hard or sticky can damage the device. ✅ Balanced nutrients Please make sure to eat a balanced diet of healthy foods such as protein, vegetables, and fruits. ✅ Caution regarding liquid sugars It is recommended to reduce the consumption of sugary drinks. ✅ Cleanliness is essential Please make sure to maintain thorough oral hygiene after meals. ❓ FAQ Q1. How long does it take to eat properly after starting braces? ? A1. Usually after installing the device About 3 to 5 days You may experience some pressure or discomfort, but please do not worry too much, as you will adapt quickly and be able to resume normal meals! Q2. Will I gain weight again after the braces are finished? ? A2. Correction itself is not a treatment for weight control. If you fail to maintain the healthy eating habits you established during treatment, your weight may change again. Q3. I've completely lost my appetite. Is this normal? ? A3. Yes, it is very normal! During the initial adaptation period, chewing may be uncomfortable, so your appetite may temporarily decrease, but it will naturally recover over time. 📝 conclusion Remember the real purpose of orthodontic treatment! While weight loss is possible due to changes in diet during orthodontic treatment, this You should not think of it as a means of dieting. The purpose of correction is Proper occlusion formation, restoration of oral function, long-term dental health It is located at. Therefore, it is important to guide changes in dietary habits during correction in a healthy direction.

정재욱 원장26.03.23Views 244Likes 4 [Health Column] Considering Orthodontics? 4 Orthodontic Cases You Absolutely Need[7]
hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Among those considering orthodontic treatment Do I really need to get braces? , Is it okay to start now? There are many cases where people hesitate. There are visible concerns like crooked teeth or a protruding mouth, but In reality Oral health Ina Everyday inconveniences Therefore, there are quite a few cases where correction is necessary. In this column Orthodontics 4 Representative Recommended Cases Centered on, I will explain step-by-step what discomfort may arise and what changes can be expected through correction. 1. If you are concerned about a protruding mouth If your lips do not close comfortably and your mouth appears to protrude, you may consider correcting your protruding mouth. One of the main reasons many people hesitate to get braces is precisely this. protruding mouth no see. Protruding teeth can be caused by genetic factors, or by teeth moving forward due to habits such as thumb sucking during childhood. In this case, the lips do not close naturally You may unconsciously tense the area around your mouth, causing wrinkles to form on your chin or making your expression look somewhat blunt. If you move the teeth to the proper position through orthodontics Your lips close more comfortably, and your overall facial appearance may look more natural and refined. For example, if you are always self-conscious about your mouth shape when taking photos, If you feel uncomfortable keeping your mouth closed even when you are still, it may be worth getting it checked. 🔸 Reference Points On the surface, it may seem like a simple concern about "looking like your mouth is sticking out," but It is recommended to confirm the actual condition through a consultation, as the alignment of the teeth and the position of the lips must be considered together. 2. Cases where teeth are uneven or there is severe crowding. Malocclusion or crowded teeth can not only cause issues with appearance but also create blind spots during brushing, which can affect oral health. uneven tooth alignment malocclusion Ina snaggletooth Is It is easy to think of it as merely a superficial issue, but in reality, correction is often recommended for health reasons. If your teeth overlap, even if you brush hard It is easy for areas to form that the toothbrush cannot reach well. Such blind spots ultimately tooth decay me gum disease You can increase the possibility. If you straighten your teeth through orthodontic treatment It makes oral hygiene management much easier and can help keep your own teeth healthy for longer. for example, If you repeatedly feel that a specific area is always uncomfortable or that dental floss doesn't go in easily even after brushing your teeth It might not be a simple habit problem, but an arrangement problem. 🔸 Reference Points A good-looking layout is important, but, It is more important to also consider whether the structure makes it easy to clean the spaces between the teeth. 3. In the case of an open bite where the front teeth do not touch If your front teeth do not touch even when you close your mouth, the functional discomfort may feel greater than the appearance. A state where a gap forms between the upper and lower front teeth, preventing them from touching each other, even when the mouth is tightly closed. open bite It is called. In this case, it is not just a visible issue; the inconvenience felt in daily life is quite significant. For example, it is difficult to bite off noodle dishes like cold noodles or spaghetti with your front teeth, and it may feel like your pronunciation is slurred. Restoring the bite of your front teeth through orthodontics can help you regain the ability to bite and chew food, and it can also help improve pronunciation. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than simply dismissing it by thinking, "My front teeth just don't quite touch," if you experience recurring discomfort during eating or pronunciation, it is advisable to have it checked from a functional perspective. 4. In cases of facial asymmetry where the facial center is misaligned If your facial midline is misaligned or appears crooked to one side, orthodontic treatment can be helpful. The facial midline does not align, or It looks twisted to one side Facial asymmetry It can also be a candidate for orthodontic treatment. Of course, in cases where the disharmony of the skeleton itself is very severe Surgery may be necessary. However, in many cases, orthodontic treatment alone can alleviate the degree of asymmetry and yield satisfactory results. If your mouth or jaw looks crooked to one side when you look in the mirror, If the center of your face always feels awkward in photos, you might want to check it at least once. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than viewing asymmetry simply as “is it because only one side is used more?”, An approach that examines the bite and the facial midline together is necessary. FAQ Q1. How long does orthodontic treatment take? A1. It depends on the condition, but for a short period 4~6 months , usually One and a half to two years or more It takes time. In order to move teeth healthily Weak and persistent power This is because it is necessary. Q2. If I get braces for a protruding mouth, can my mouth look too deeply recessed? A2.

오수환 원장26.03.17Views 130Likes 4 (Question) It has been a few years since I got braces, and I am worried because gaps have formed between my teeth.[9]
I started orthodontic treatment 10 years ago and now have a retainer attached to the inside of my teeth. I only wear the braces before going to bed. I was told it would be good to wear braces all day, but since I have to talk a lot for my job, I found them uncomfortable. The dentist said it was fine to wear it only before bed, so I have been wearing my braces only before going to sleep ever since. I didn't think there was any problem, but one day a friend saw me smiling and said something. Why are your front teeth so missing????? So I looked in the mirror, and the gap between my front teeth was wide, so it looked like a black hole. When I saw that, I initially thought something was stuck in my teeth, so I tried brushing them, but it turned out the gap was indeed there. Since then, I've tried wearing my braces for longer periods and brushing my teeth more diligently, but The gap between the teeth did not narrow again. On top of that, food kept getting stuck in the innermost part of my upper left tooth, causing a severe gap. Now, no matter what I eat, food always gets stuck on the innermost left tooth... I am in severe pain because I cannot remove food particles without an interdental brush. If you look at my teeth, they are spaced apart like this. ( The amazing thing is that food gets stuck in my front teeth now, too. I can't take a picture of the inner teeth, but they are in serious condition. Food gets stuck, so I really need an interdental brush all the time. On days I don't bring my interdental brush, food particles don't come out even with brushing, so the pain is severe. Do I need to get the braces redone? I heard that braces put a lot of strain on the gums. I've already finished my braces, so I'm worried that doing it again might make my gums worse. The cost will be quite high, too... Is it possible to do partial re-correction on just two parts, the front teeth and the inner teeth? I'm seriously so stressed out because of the gap between my teeth when I smile and the food getting stuck in the inner teeth. I worked so hard to get my braces straightened, but they've come apart like this, and it's so stressful. I am still debating whether to get re-orthodontics because I'm worried my gums might weaken. I was wondering if anyone has tried partial re-correction. If you have done this, I would appreciate it if you could share any side effects, reviews, or costs. I'm wondering if I can get braces at a different dental clinic than the one where I originally had them done!!

Recently, my jaw joint started hurting while chewing on squid. It also sounds like sand being ground. My jaw is uncomfortable, so I can't even open my mouth wide. Sometimes I feel like my jaw is catching, or I experience a sharp pain. There is no pain if I stay still. Could this be a symptom of jaw joint disorder? Will it be okay if I'm careful with hard things?

My jaw joint was hurting, so I searched for an oral medicine clinic and went for a consultation. I had previously visited a different dental clinic for treatment, but there was little improvement, so I came to a hospital specializing in temporomandibular joint treatment. It was Saturday and I didn't make a reservation in advance, so the waiting time was quite long. Still, I liked it because the desk staff were very kind to me. After having an X-ray taken, the doctor explained everything in detail and in an easy-to-understand way, so I feel confident in this hospital. Unlike the hospital I used to go to, you professionally set the direction for my treatment, so I think I will get much better if I continue with it. The physical therapist is kind and nice.

Orthodontic Revision Reviews! Causes, Effects, and Before-and-After Differences of Orthodontic Revision[8]
After orthodontic treatment, my teeth became misaligned again over time, so I had to have orthodontic treatment again. The result of two years of hard work Effects of orthodontic treatment Although I was overall satisfied, there were also practical difficulties such as maintenance management. Effects of orthodontic treatment It is a treatment that clearly has pros and cons, so I think it is important to think carefully before making a decision! I had orthodontic treatment a long time ago. After orthodontic treatment, the fixed retainers attached to the inside of my teeth were removed. Later, I learned that most people keep them on. As time passed, my teeth began to look a little crooked and misaligned again. They say teeth move slightly after orthodontic treatment, but in my case, because I had a malocclusion, my teeth moved even faster. It might not seem like much to others, but I was constantly self-conscious about it every time I looked in the mirror, and taking pictures of myself made me even more stressed. When I went to the dentist for a regular checkup, the dentist recommended re-orthodontic treatment and offered a slightly lower price, so I went ahead and did it. This is a photo from the beginning of the revision. The teeth on the right (left in the photo) are long and the teeth on the left (right in the photo) are high. It was twisted into a diagonal shape. If you draw a line, you can see that the teeth alignment lines are not aligned. In my case, I first aligned my lower teeth, Then, I corrected the upper teeth by adjusting the upper and lower alignment. The chain is incredibly thick, haha I had to undergo orthodontic treatment for quite a long time due to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems and malocclusion. I had orthodontic treatment for two whole years! I went to the dentist once a month and received consistent treatment. To be honest, Effects of orthodontic treatment It was barely noticeable until the middle of the course. Correction isn't something that changes drastically in a short period of time. I didn't know much during the correction, but as I compared the photos I took here and there, I gradually learned Effects of orthodontic treatment I felt it appearing around the second half. All recalibrations are now complete. Overall, Effects of orthodontic treatment is quite satisfactory. The teeth are now aligned more evenly than before! Compared to before, the teeth that were raised upwards have come down and become parallel. Although the alignment of my teeth has improved a lot, it is not 100% corrected in reality and a black triangle has formed on my lower teeth. In reality, it is bigger and clearer than this. And this time, I had an orthodontic retainer attached to the inside of my lower teeth, but tartar builds up easily on the retainer area and the black triangle, so I sometimes get scaling done twice a year. I think this is definitely something we have to take into account. Still, Effects of orthodontic treatment I think it was a good decision to do it again because it was good overall. There are probably many people who are considering re-orthodontic treatment because their teeth are still crooked after orthodontic treatment. Based on my actual experience, Effects of orthodontic treatment It certainly has its pros and cons. It takes a lot of time and requires maintenance, but I'm satisfied that the stressful parts have been improved. tooth The effect of correcting the ajusshi's facial features I think it feels different depending on the individual's condition and expectations. I hope my article will be helpful to those considering orthodontic treatment.
AA26.02.14Views 115Likes 2 What's the difference between orthodontic treatment and regular braces? Why dramatic changes are difficult.[4]
This is the question most frequently asked by people considering braces. “What is the difference from regular orthodontics?” If the problem is only about correcting the alignment of teeth, it is relatively easy to predict. but Bite correction is different from simple orthodontic treatment. Because there may be differences in treatment duration, outcome prediction, and satisfaction. Definition: What is orthodontics? No-brain correction Treatment that induces changes in appearance through tooth movement no see. The basic principle is the same as general correction. braces Protrusion correction Teeth alignment All of these methods involve moving teeth to create changes in appearance. However, the blind correction Focus on making the chin look more alive There is this. Principle: How can improvement be achieved? ✔ Basic operation method Blind improvement The principle of moving the upper teeth to induce the rotation of the lower jaw Use . This principle is the same regardless of whether or not the tooth is extracted. ✔ Differences from general correction division General correction chinless correction Treatment period relatively predictable It often takes longer Improvement prediction The change in teeth is clear Chin improvement varies greatly from person to person. Difficulty relatively standardized High difficulty level when proceeding only with the chin purpose The change in alignment of the teeth is usually noticeable. but The degree of improvement varies greatly from person to person and is difficult to predict. Therefore, satisfaction with the results can also vary greatly from person to person. The relationship between chinlessness and temporomandibular joint disorder Sometimes, a chinless face isn't just a cosmetic issue. There are reports that the prevalence of temporomandibular joint disease is relatively high in patients with no jaw. As temporomandibular joint disease progresses, the jaw may become shorter. The lower jaw may rotate backwards and the front teeth may appear. In severe cases, people may say, “It wasn’t originally chinless, but it seems like it has become chinless.” Therefore, it becomes important to distinguish whether changes in jaw shape are simply a cosmetic issue or are related to changes in the temporomandibular joint. Why does the chin appear to protrude? Just because it's not chinless doesn't mean it's protruding. But if your chin is behind you An effect that makes the lips appear relatively forward It happens. Conversely, in the case of a prognathism, the lips may appear more sunken. Ultimately, this is the nose-lips-chin Relative position relationship problem no see. The impact of extraction ✔ If not extracted Blind improvement is possible However, dramatic changes may be limited. ✔ In case of extraction Mouths come together The effect of making the chin look relatively more alive You can expect simultaneous improvement of jawline and mouth protrusion. However, the key criterion for deciding on extraction is The actual position of the mouth no see. If the mouth is not protruding due to the nose-lip relationship, an unnatural result may occur if the mouth is excessively retracted after extraction. So, there is no formula for “unconditional tooth extraction” in orthodontic treatment. Is re-correction possible? Re-correction is possible. But the most important condition is Health of teeth and gums no see. If your gums are weak If the tooth root is shortened If extraction has already been performed The extent of improvement may vary depending on these factors. Additionally, since the treatment period for orthodontic treatment is long, the opportunity cost of time and money must also be considered when re-correcting. 📌Improving the chin is not simply a matter of tooth arrangement, but depends on the positional relationship between the chin, lips, and nose and the treatment method chosen. 📌The actual change will vary from case to case depending on whether you choose extraction or consider re-correction. 👇 Check out the expert column 👇 [Health Column] Is it possible to create a missing chin with chin correction?
캐시닥 운영진26.02.13Views 54Likes 4 [Health Column] 3 Criteria for Choosing the Right Orthodontic Device for You[5]
hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you may have thought this at least once. “Should we lay the railroad?”, “Is expensive always better?” There are many types of devices, but explaining them is difficult, and the cost differences are even more confusing. We've selected only the most confusing points for those considering braces. , Let's organize it so that you can reduce unnecessary choices. 1. Which orthodontic devices should I avoid? ✨There are devices that may seem cheap, but can be a burden in the long run. Many people choose it because of the cost, but There are also devices that may increase discomfort during the treatment process. ⚠️ ✔️ Resin bracket At first, it is less noticeable because it is similar to the color of the teeth. Curry, coffee, etc. Discolors easily It can be Because the strength is weak, there is a possibility of the device wearing out or falling off. Treatment may take longer ✔️ General ligation bracket It is a method of tying wires with thin wires. The end of the wire pokes into my mouth It can cause injury High friction can slow down tooth movement → “If you choose based solely on the initial cost, the treatment process may become more difficult.” 2. Which is most important: cost, aesthetics, or speed? ✨Corrective devices vary depending on ‘my priorities’. Not every device is a good choice for everyone. I need to start by organizing the criteria I consider most important. 🔍 ✔️ If cost-effectiveness and performance are important to you? metal bracket A relatively inexpensive yet robust method You should take into account the obvious appearance ✔️ Want a treatment that doesn't leave any marks? Invisalign or Lingual correction Invisalign: Removable, Aesthetic Lingual braces: invisible, but cost and adaptation period must be considered. ✔️ Want quick treatment and less pain? Self-ligating brackets (Clippy, etc.) There is less friction, so teeth move relatively quickly. Less pain and fewer visits This is the preferred method for busy office workers. 3. What are the criteria for selecting a dental clinic that affect the outcome of orthodontic treatment? ✨What’s more important than the device is ‘who is providing the treatment.’ Even if it's the same device Your experience may vary depending on where and how you receive treatment. 🔸 Be sure to check during consultation At the dental clinic What device do you use the most? self-ligating device Whether to use When the device falls off Whether additional costs will be incurred 📌 Questions like these It serves as a criterion for assessing how much consideration is given to treatment efficiency and patient convenience. FAQ Q1. Do self-ligating brackets really shorten the treatment period? A1. Because there is less friction compared to general devices, in some cases the treatment period may be shortened. Q2. Can anyone get Invisalign? A2. While most are possible, bracket orthodontics may be more appropriate depending on the condition of your teeth. Adherence to the wear time is important. Q3. Are metal brackets cheaper because they are less effective? A3. No. While performance and precision are excellent, aesthetics may dictate preference. conclusion Orthodontic treatment is a process that can last from as little as one year to as long as two years or more. Rather than deciding based solely on price or surrounding reviews, It is important to choose the right one for your lifestyle and oral health. ✨ Rather than rushing blindly It is important to establish a treatment plan through sufficient consultation. It can make or break the outcome and your satisfaction.

Siheung Eaton Dental Clinic's Temporomandibular Joint Treatment Review: Comfortable and Thorough
Recently, I was experiencing stiffness in my lower jaw joint and a clicking noise whenever I opened my mouth, so I sought out a consultation. From my first visit, the calm reception and guidance helped me relax, and the director listened to my symptoms very carefully. He didn't just assess my pain; he also thoroughly assessed my chewing habits, whether I bruxed, and any stressful situations, which gave me a sense of trust. After the panoramic radiography, the doctor explained that my temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was under strain and suggested a gradual approach rather than resorting to excessive procedures. The treatment consisted of TMJ physical therapy, bite adjustment, and a customized mouthpiece. The physical therapy focused on warm stimulation and massage, so there was little pain. Afterward, my jaw felt much smoother. He also explained how to use the splint and precautions for daily life in an easy-to-understand manner, making it easy to manage at home.

A review of the treatment for temporomandibular joint discomfort at Bada Dental Clinic in Namdong-gu.
Lately, I've been hearing a clicking sound in my jaw every time I open my mouth, and my jaw feels stiff when I wake up in the morning, so I came in for a consultation regarding temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort. From the moment I checked in, the wait wasn't long, and the doctor didn't rush me, but listened attentively, which left a positive impression. The doctor explained the causes of my symptoms, even going so far as to explain my clenching and potential sleep grinding habits, and I nodded in agreement. The treatment began with a thorough examination of my temporomandibular joint and teeth, followed by temporomandibular joint physical therapy and a mouthpiece. On the same day, I received physical therapy to loosen the muscles around my jaw. At first, I felt a slight tension, but gradually, I felt relief and the tension dissipate. The doctor didn't just recommend a procedure, but explained everything from lifestyle modifications to how to use my jaw, which I trusted. After a few days, the stiffness I felt when opening my mouth was significantly reduced, and I was able to eat pain-free, which was satisfying.

Can orthodontic treatment be done at any age?[21]
Braces are usually done at a young age, right? I don't think I've ever seen someone get them later in life. Of course, that's unless there's an accident or special circumstances. Lately, I've been realizing a renewed interest in and complex about my appearance, something I didn't realize when I was younger, so I've become interested in orthodontic treatment. I'm curious if there are any problems with orthodontic treatment at an older age.

I'm worried about my teeth becoming spaced out after orthodontic treatment.[7]
It's been quite some time since I had braces. My teeth are very gapped The front teeth are also slightly apart. It's not noticeable when you talk normally. I guess I was worried because it was around the front teeth. It can be uncomfortable because a lot of food gets stuck between the teeth. Should I get it re-corrected? I'm worried because the cost and time are similar. Has anyone tried recalibration?

Can severe wrinkles and walnut wrinkles also be improved? A1. For severe prognathism, chin surgery alone may not be effective, and implants or stepped osteotomy may be considered. Walnut wrinkles can be improved with Botox. Q2. Is there a risk of damage to the dental nerve after chin surgery? A2. There may be a risk if the osteotomy is excessively upward or the fixation pin is close to the tooth root, so the location of the nerve must be carefully considered during surgery. Q3. Can I change from chin filler to fat grafting? A3. Fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronic acid, and the residual material can be absorbed. Remove 3 to 7 days before surgery It is recommended to do so. Conclusion 🧾 ✔️ There is not just one right answer when it comes to braces. Depending on the amount of advancement, jawbone thickness, and overall facial balance The best method for you may vary. What's important is Not “fashionable” The right choice for you no see.

조현우 원장26.01.23Views 146Likes 5 My teeth are still crooked after orthodontic treatment. Is it okay to get orthodontic treatment again?[15]
I had braces when I was young, but they say that even with braces, your teeth become crooked over time. So, my teeth also became very crooked after braces. In particular, the three lower teeth in the center moved to the left as if they were falling. I have a retainer attached to the inside of my teeth and wear it every night to sleep, but it still happened. The dentist also recommended re-orthodontic treatment. It doesn't seem like a commercial practice since it's the dental clinic I used to go to. Actually, I've been worried about my teeth for a while now. It seems like tartar builds up more often than before. But on the other hand, I'm worried about my gums. How does orthodontic treatment specifically affect the gums? Some say that gums are innate and have nothing to do with braces, while others say that they definitely become weaker. I'm not sure exactly how long it will take since I'm older than before, but the dentist said it would take a year, but it could take longer. I wonder if there's anyone who's ever tried proofreading twice. How are the teeth of those who have had braces maintained?

Orthodontics The treatment and procedure are a bit expensive. The director is kind and considerate The parking lot is narrow and crowded. The basement level 3 and below is relatively spacious. Getting there is very easy The waiting room is comfortable and relaxing The big drawback is that it is expensive because it is not covered by health insurance. These days, dental implants are very competitive and have become very affordable, and dental insurance is also good... It seems like orthodontic treatment isn't covered by dental insurance, and since there isn't much competition, the prices are quite expensive. In Suwon, it is a representative orthodontic dental clinic, but I wish the cost was a little cheaper. It's a very burdensome price.. haha We recommend that you visit the doctor on a weekday morning or right after the doctor's appointment rather than on the weekend.

The criteria for complete cure and management of temporomandibular joint disorders as described by oral medicine specialists[4]
I also had temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) and began to experience pain when opening my mouth and clicking sounds in my jaw, so I went to the oral medicine department for treatment. The first thing I heard while receiving treatment was, “Complete cure in temporomandibular joint disease does not mean returning to the previous state.” Today is that time A summary of the explanation I heard from the oral medicine department by, Criteria for complete cure of temporomandibular joint disorder I would like to share the most important points in management. ✔ A complete cure for temporomandibular joint disease as defined by a specialist No pain when chewing No pain when opening the mouth A state in which jaw function can be used naturally within the normal range That is, if you have reached a state where you can live your daily life without pain or functional limitations, They see it as a 'complete cure'..! Temporomandibular joint disease is characterized by 'sound, pain, and limited mouth opening'. Which of the three symptoms remains? The management direction will vary depending on it. Temporomandibular joint disease 👉 Check the pain repeatedly or 👉 The act of forcing oneself to endure It often makes the symptoms last longer. So, what is needed before treatment is to “maintain a state that does not stimulate the jaw.” Avoid these behaviors that worsen temporomandibular joint pain. ❌ 1. Behavior that continuously checks for pain Repeatedly moving around while asking, “Does it still hurt?” The act of enduring and trying, saying, “Let’s give it a try,” even though it hurts ➡ It causes the pain to continue to be reproduced. ❌ 2. Actions that deliberately cause jaw sounds The sound coming from the jaw is caused by the disc being pushed forward. Repeating this movement can cause the sound to become louder and worsen to the point where the mouth cannot be opened. ❌ 3. Unconscious lifestyle habits The following actions require special attention: The habit of clenching one's teeth when concentrating A posture where one rests one's chin on one's hand or lowers one's head Eating chewy or hard foods 💡 The most comfortable jaw position is when the molars are about 2-3mm apart, like when pronouncing the letter 'M'. → It is described as the position in which the jaw muscles are most relaxed. The key to managing your temporomandibular joint is relaxation. 🧠 1. Mental health and sleep Mental health and sleep are very important in managing temporomandibular joint disease. Light aerobic exercise Mindfulness, meditation Get enough sleep ➡ It is a process of restoring the energy that the body can recover itself. ♨ The best physical therapy you can do at home, hot compress Onjimjil is Helps blood circulation Relaxing the muscles Helps eliminate inflammatory byproducts. ✔ Points Covers not only the cheeks but also the temporomandibular joint and temporalis muscle To sum up 📦 Summary of Key Points for 'Curing' Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Complete recovery is not about 'going back to the way things were', but rather about restoring function without pain. Avoid pain, excessive use, and noise-causing activities. Teeth clenching, jaw clenching, and avoiding hard foods Mental care + sufficient sleep + hot compress are the basic management axes. 👉 He emphasized that when it comes to temporomandibular joint disease, it is much more important to ‘reduce irritation’ than to ‘try to fix it quickly.’ For the temporomandibular joint, giving it a good rest is management in itself. I would like you to slowly check what kind of stimulation is being repeated on your jaw right now.

Please leave a review after visiting your child's dentist. My child's teeth seemed to be becoming increasingly irregular, so I went for a consultation, and the result was truly satisfying. At first, I thought it would be just a simple checkup, but the doctor gave me a thorough explanation of the current condition of my teeth and the expected changes, using X-rays and oral scans. I felt confident in the doctor. I especially appreciated that he didn't intimidate me or recommend immediate orthodontic treatment, but suggested a realistic approach of partial orthodontic treatment and space maintenance, tailored to my child's growth stage. Because the explanations were explained at the child's level, the child was able to follow along without feeling nervous. The clinic's atmosphere was calm and the waiting time wasn't long, making it even more comfortable for parents. I was first fitted with a simple teeth alignment device, and I received thorough instructions on how to wear and care for it. My child didn't experience any significant pain after the treatment, and he adapted well when he returned home. Above all, I was most satisfied with the fact that they developed a plan tailored to his growth without overtreatment.

작누💓26.01.15Views 141Likes 1 [Health Column] Does Braces Cause Nasolabial Folds? — The Real Cause, Misconceptions, and a Complete Guide to Braces[10]
hello. Director Jeong Jae-wook of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. There is a concern I hear most often before getting orthodontic treatment. “They say that if you get braces, the wrinkles on your nasolabial folds will get deeper…” “I saw a review saying that my cheeks looked thinner and more slender.” I really understand these concerns. But in reality Wrinkles on the nasolabial folds = Not due to correction, but a problem of 'relative change and habit' This is much more common. today The relationship between correction and nasolabial folds , and In what cases can wrinkles appear deeper? I'll explain it to you easily. 1. Does orthodontic treatment really cause wrinkles on the forehead? 👋 Nasolabial folds are often visible due to 'changes in relative depth' rather than 'movement of teeth'. If you correct it, your mouth will go back. At this time, the starting point of the wrinkles on the forehead also moves backwards. Most of the time, the direction in which the wrinkles appear shallower It changes into . But why do I feel like my wrinkles have gotten deeper? ✔ Let me explain it easily with an example The cheeks are the same, but the mouth is sunken inward. Let me think about it. → Then, the ‘valley’ between the ball and the mouth may appear relatively prominent. That is, not “sagging” Existing wrinkles appear more prominent It's just one day. When you feel like wrinkles have suddenly appeared on your arms, Not just “creating wrinkles” Check if it is due to relative volume change I'd like to try it. 2. Why do changes in the nasolabial folds occur during correction? 👋 Lifestyle habits, muscle changes, and treatment design are the main causes. 🔸 1) Bad lip habits To hide the braces If you keep pursing your lips, muscle use increases → wrinkles become stronger. It can lead to. 🔸 2) Excessive treatment plan If you push your teeth back too far, → Okni and Hapjuki mouth As it becomes more sagging, it can actually look like sagging. This is the part that the director emphasized. Whether or not a precise diagnosis is possible based on experience is very important. 🔸 3) Reduction in masticatory muscles During braces treatment, you will be asked to avoid hard foods. → As the chewing muscles decrease Your cheeks may appear sagging and the area under your cheekbones may appear hollow. → As a result, the wrinkles on your arms may appear stronger. As long as the food is not too hard A balanced diet that naturally uses the muscles around the mouth It helps. 3. How should I plan my correction to reduce the worry about wrinkles on my forehead? 👋 We need to look at the entire facial bone structure, not just the arrangement of the teeth. 🔹 [Expert Diagnosis] Full facial analysis is key Cheek fat amount Skin elasticity The ratio of the head to the lower body Front teeth angle Upper and lower jaw balance All of these elements must be reviewed and corrected. A facial line where the nasolabial folds are not prominent can make. 🔹 [Treatment Process] Speed control is very important If you push your teeth back too quickly, → Wrinkles may appear deeper because the skin and soft tissues cannot adapt. The impatience of “I want to finish it quickly!” can actually accentuate wrinkles. 🔹 [Lifestyle] Skin Care + Facial Muscle Maintenance 💧 Drink enough water 🌞 Sunscreen is essential 🙂 facial muscle exercises : Put air in the ball and hold for 10 seconds Practice opening the corners of your mouth wide This is basic care that anyone can do without side effects. 4. How do nasolabial folds change during and after correction? 👋 Most cases recover naturally within 6 months after the end of orthodontic treatment. ✔ After removing the braces Chewing muscle recovery Restoring cheek volume soft tissue stabilization After going through this process Most wrinkles that appeared deep during correction will return to their previous state. 5. Is it possible to have dermatological procedures performed concurrently during orthodontic treatment? 👋 It is possible, but 'timing' is important. Because the lip, chin, and cheekbone lines continue to change during correction, After the outline is somewhat established (finishing stage ~ after correction is completed) I recommend this procedure. ❓ FAQ Q1. Will the deepened nasolabial folds return after correction? A1. Yes, mostly Recover naturally It will work. Changes caused by the thickness of the braces and the reduction of masticatory muscles stabilize within about 6 months after the device is removed through diet and muscle recovery. Q2. If I get orthodontic treatment, will I always have a 'happocket'? A2. No. The mouth of the bamboo is When teeth are pushed back too far As a side effect, By accurately calculating the amount of movement through a precise diagnosis, even if teeth are extracted, they can be corrected to create a natural and sophisticated line. Q3. Is orthodontic treatment for people in their 40s and 50s more dangerous due to loss of elasticity? A3. It is true that skin elasticity is low, Speed control and non-extraction priority design It is possible to do so safely enough. 📝 conclusion Orthodontic treatment Create wrinkles on the forehead is a common misconception. rather In many cases, it improves as the balance between the chin and mouth improves. The key is ✔ Precision diagnosis , ✔ Speed control , ✔ A plan that takes into account the entire facial structure no see. Rather than delaying correction due to vague fears, Consult a specialist A plan that reflects my face shape, skin elasticity, and even the condition of my masticatory muscles. Try setting it up. It will lead to slightly healthier and more natural changes.

I've been going to this hospital for TMJ treatment for five years. I've been to other large hospitals, but the director here is the most thorough, never overtreats, and recommends appropriate treatment, which greatly helps relieve my pain. The weather has gotten colder recently, so many people with TMJ, like me, are coming here. I also had a more intense muscle pull than before, so I went in for a consultation. I checked with the nurse about my jaw condition, bite, and pain intensity, and then consulted with the director again. I received Botox treatment again after two years. I also plan to go to physical therapy weekly, which I've been told is recommended. The director is great, but the therapists here are also incredibly kind. However, due to the high number of patients, reservations are required and there's a bit of a wait.

Review of Shine Dental Clinic in Siheung City for Precise Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Problems[1]
My husband's lower jaw has felt asymmetrical for a while now, and he complained of frequent jaw joint discomfort, so I made an appointment for a consultation. From the outset, I was most confident that he would be treated by Dr. Nam Ho-jin, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and I went out of my way to visit him. He didn't just focus on dental issues; he also took a holistic approach, assessing his facial structure, jaw movement, and even his bite. During the consultation, the doctor explained the current condition of my mandible in detail using CT scans and detailed X-rays. I appreciated how the doctor explained each point in an easy-to-understand manner while looking at the screen. Rather than simply recommending treatment, he clearly distinguished between areas requiring immediate treatment and areas requiring follow-up observation, which instilled trust. My husband initially underwent treatment to relieve muscle tension around the temporomandibular joint and focused on adjusting his bite. He said the treatment process was comfortable, with minimal pain. After treatment, I was very satisfied with the treatment, as the stiffness in my jaw was reduced and the clicking noise I made when opening my mouth was greatly reduced. What made this hospital better than others was that the specialists personally took charge of everything from consultation to treatment, and there was no unnecessary overtreatment. I would recommend this hospital to anyone with jaw or facial concerns.

Review of a child's orthodontic consultation at Baegotgoun Dental Clinic in Siheung City
My sixth grader's teeth were increasingly uneven, and I was concerned about a malocclusion, so I visited Baegogoun Dental Clinic for a consultation. Children's dentistry can be nerve-wracking, but the relaxed atmosphere from the reception to the treatment was surprisingly comfortable, and my child didn't feel overly intimidated. First, they performed a basic oral exam and X-rays to thoroughly assess the current state of their teeth and jaw growth. Rather than insisting on immediate orthodontic treatment, the director explained the importance of growth-based orthodontic treatment appropriate for my child's age, and the differences between starting orthodontic treatment immediately and waiting a while. This made me trust her. I especially appreciated that she didn't recommend expensive, unreasonable treatments but instead offered a step-by-step plan. She even showed me actual models of the devices tailored to my child's oral structure, which was reassuring for me as a parent. Currently, we're starting with simple devices to secure space and straighten teeth as part of the pre-orthodontic treatment process, and my child is adapting well without major discomfort. They provided meticulous guidance on post-treatment pain and precautions for daily life, making management easy. Most impressively, they constantly reassured my child by talking to him, and perhaps that's why he didn't seem afraid after visiting the dentist. Orthodontic consultations for children require careful consideration, but Baegogoun Dental Clinic offers professional diagnosis without being overly aggressive, which gives me confidence. I highly recommend it to anyone with concerns about their child's teeth.

(Question) Will my gums become weaker after orthodontic treatment?[14]
I had orthodontic treatment about 30 years ago. At the time, I was a high school student and didn't pay much attention to my gums, but now that I'm in my late 40s, my gums seem to have weakened. I don't know if this is because of the braces or my age. I had 4 teeth removed during braces, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. It's nice that my teeth are neat, but I'm worried that my gums will get worse as I get older.
찌니25.12.20Views 111Likes 4 A real review of a square jaw correction procedure at I Love Gangnam Clinic in Seoul that helped me regain confidence.
Lately, I've been very concerned about the prominent square jawline, so I went for a consultation to get an accurate diagnosis. The director personally examined my facial features and carefully explained whether my square jaw was muscular or fat-related, which was reassuring. He said my problem was due to overdeveloped jaw muscles, so Botox would be the best option. He carefully planned the dosage and targeted treatment to create a natural V-line. The procedure itself was shorter and more comfortable than I expected. I had to lie down and check my facial lines again before injecting into the marked points. It was almost painless and over quickly. Immediately after, I felt a bit sore and had a slight discomfort when chewing, but it didn't significantly interfere with my daily life. As the doctor instructed, after about three days, I adjusted to the procedure and the discomfort almost completely disappeared. I began to notice a natural slimming effect on my jawline. Now, I can wash my face and apply basic makeup without any issues, and I'm satisfied with my life as usual. Every time I look in the mirror, I feel so satisfied because my jawline, which used to look heavy, has been refined. My facial proportions have improved naturally without feeling excessive, and my confidence has also increased.
