[Gimhae Premium Dental Clinic] Review of the clinic where I received a consultation on orthodontic procedures and costs![16]
➀ What procedure/surgery were you considering? After visiting Gimhae Myeongpum Dental Clinic and receiving oral treatment, I had a consultation to plan my orthodontic treatment. ② What were your biggest concerns? I was really worried about the cost, treatment time, and duration of the dental clinic. ③ Which hospital did you visit? I visited Gimhae Myeongpum Dental Clinic. I consulted about orthodontic treatment at this hospital. It is a bit far from my home, but I am satisfied because the director is meticulous and kind. Of course, the cost is on the expensive side compared to the other dental clinic I used to go to. I have been going there for several years and am satisfied with the treatment. ④ How was the consultation or treatment? They explained everything about the orthodontic treatment, from how long it takes to the materials used, ranging from clear aligners to wires. From what I heard, the cost is expected to be much higher than anticipated. I liked that you explained it in detail. ⑤ Did your opinion change after the actual visit? It was great to be able to visit in person for a consultation about orthodontic treatment and receive a comprehensive explanation regarding the overall treatment plan and costs, which allowed me to plan the entire process.
숲과 나무26.06.24Views 92Likes 1 Suwon Reference Smile Orthodontics Clinic offers friendly orthodontic treatment, but the cost can be a bit high.[1]
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.

Review of 140,000 won per month orthodontic treatment in Seocho-gu, Seoul, with no additional costs.[19]
The price of full orthodontic treatment seems really cheap. It includes monthly treatment costs, device costs, and maintenance device costs. They said there would be no additional costs. It's not that we use cheap materials, We use genuine brackets and wires. Self-ligating braces that reduce pain and treatment time They say it's a dental orthodontic specialist treatment. White Dream Correction and Treatment Cost System Once you start orthodontic treatment, you may discover hidden teeth that you were not informed about beforehand. I think there are often cases where additional costs are incurred White Dream Orthodontics is structured so that there are no hidden costs other than the total treatment cost. They say they won't pass on unreasonable treatment costs to patients. White Dream Dental Clinic (2025) | 140,000 won per month for orthodontic treatment with no additional costs
하루=즐겁게+행복하게+웃으며✌25.02.16Views 424Likes 4 How much do you think orthodontic treatment will cost?[8]
Let's find out about orthodontic treatment costs! My younger sibling said they want to get braces. But I don't know how much orthodontic treatment costs.... I can't quite get the hang of it... haha I heard that orthodontic treatment takes about two years, too... Are there any monthly maintenance costs? Or do I pay the orthodontic treatment cost in a lump sum? I'm curious about what I should do... There isn't much information available about the cost of braces, either. I looked at the Cashdoc events and found about two places, so I compiled the information. Please compare them!! Orthodontic Comparison 1. Orun Dental Clinic Orun Dental Clinic Location: 4th Floor, 1405 Dongil-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul (Sanggye-dong, KB Financial Nowon Plaza) If you have any questions, please click the URL below! https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/1378 Orthodontic treatment cost: Basic fee 1,800,000 KRW (VAT included) Monthly fees and maintenance fees are separate. With the Clippy C, which does not have an auxiliary wire, there is no need to wrap and secure it with wire. Advantages of Clippy C - Excellent aesthetics as it is inconspicuous compared to conventional braces - Very little oral injury, pain, or foreign body sensation caused by the auxiliary wire And the best thing about Clippy-C is that the treatment period is about 6 months faster than regular braces. They also say it is possible without unnecessary tooth extraction! Orthodontic Comparison 2. Dobong Ye Dental Clinic Dobong Ye Dental Clinic Location: Rooms 501-502, 703-17 Banghak-dong, Dobong-gu, Seoul If you have any questions, please click the URL below! https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/2859 Orthodontic treatment cost 4 million won VAT included, monthly fee / maintenance fee included I like Dobong Ye Dental Clinic because they first tell you the orthodontic treatment cost including the monthly fee. Since you said it's a total of 4 million won, I think I have a sense of how much that is. Of course, I am not sure whether Dobong Ye Dental Clinic uses Clippy-C or not. Instead, the best thing is that Dobong Ye Dental Clinic has good reviews. They say that both the doctor and the staff are kind and treat you well without causing any pain.

What are the current costs and time required for orthodontic treatment?[11]
How much do orthodontic treatment costs and how long does it take? After the treatment, is it okay without any precautions? I need to go, but I'm a bit scared because it's the dentist.
우975924.01.22Views 152Likes 0 Cost of braces again?[9]
My friend wants to redo their orthodontic treatment. Will it cost more? Because I was young when I first did it. My parents did it for me, but now Now you have to do it yourself. I'm curious about how much the cost will be. Is it more difficult or more costly if we do it again? I'm curious.
꼬냥아23.07.21Views 147Likes 0 [Question] How much does orthodontic treatment cost?[12]
What is the cost of orthodontic treatment? I was interested in orthodontics, so I looked into it a bit. The orthodontic cost is roughly around 3.5 million to 5 million won. Depending on the dental clinic, post-procedure maintenance costs may vary. Some places also set separate costs for monthly treatments. I'm curious why the correction cost range is so wide. Materials of the device used, whether it has been extracted, etc. Is it because different applying factors are reflected differently?
rain195023.07.19Views 184Likes 0 I received a consultation for orthodontics at [Bible Dental Clinic]. The clinic's management was impressive.[6]
While considering orthodontic treatment and researching various dental clinics, I received a consultation at Bible Dental Clinic. The first thing that caught my eye was the clinic's cleanliness. The waiting area, consultation room, and treatment rooms were all neatly maintained, and I could feel that they paid great attention to hygiene. Even though it was my first visit, I was left with a trustworthy impression. The staff were generally friendly as well. They responded calmly from the reception to guiding me to the consultation room, and when I asked questions, they explained each one in detail, allowing me to receive the consultation without feeling pressured. The hospital atmosphere itself was quiet and well-organized, which greatly reduced my nervousness. After thoroughly examining my tooth alignment and occlusion, the doctor explained the appropriate orthodontic method and estimated duration in an easy-to-understand manner. Rather than insisting that I absolutely needed braces, they compared the pros and cons of each treatment method, which instilled confidence in me and allowed me to fully resolve any questions I had. The cost information was provided relatively transparently, and I felt comfortable because there was no excessive pressure to get me to do anything. However, it was a bit disappointing that the consultation started a little later than scheduled, perhaps because there were many other people receiving consultations. I also felt that it would have been more helpful to visualize the treatment results if you had shown a wider variety of before-and-after photos. Overall, Bible Dental Clinic was the most satisfying dental clinic for its clean and hygienic environment and friendly service. Although there was a slight waiting time and I wished there had been a wider variety of consultation materials, the consultation was thorough and the atmosphere was comfortable, so it was a generally satisfying visit.
잭라빈3점팡팡26.06.30Views 193Likes 2 Implant cost[4]
When I first got implants two years ago, I consulted with a nurse who was the consultation manager. She told me that with their clinic's promotion, the cost per tooth was 250,000 won, and with medical insurance, it was 300,000 won. So I went ahead with the promotion without insurance, but I still don't understand. It won't work
이재철26.06.25Views 61Likes 1 How many doses should I get once I start Wigobi? I'm curious about the approximate total cost until I see results.[2]
I went to the hospital before and asked a quick question. If you start Wigobi, it covers medical fees and even medication costs. I heard that it costs roughly 500,000 won. Even if I look for related posts If you put in the legwork, it's around 300,000 to 400,000 won a month. That's what they were saying. I didn't think it was a small amount. How much I will have to get hit once the Wigobi starts I'm wondering what the approximate total cost is until I see results. Those of you who started first, please share your genuine reviews~~
seabuck26.06.25Views 41Likes 1 How to Reduce Cost and Pain from Your Major Implant Surgery[3]
It is only natural to feel a sudden surge of fear when you receive an implant diagnosis during a dental check-up. After all, there are plenty of concerns, ranging from the long treatment period and hefty cost to the pain of surgery. In times like these, it is crucial to find a clinic specializing in implants through recommendations from acquaintances or reviews. If a place transparently discloses additional costs and administers anesthesia meticulously to minimize pain, even a timid person can successfully complete the procedure.
말해뭐해26.06.24Views 62Likes 2 I'd like to inquire about the cost and highly satisfied places for melasma skin boosters![1]
Now that summer is over, the blemishes that were already bothering me seem to have gotten even darker, so I am incredibly stressed every time I do my makeup. There is a limit to how much I can cover them with concealer, so while looking for a fundamental solution, I learned about a melasma skin booster at a dermatology clinic near Hongdae. I heard it is very effective for deep blemishes that simply won't lighten with home care like tone-up creams or whitening essences, so I'm thinking of going for a consultation this weekend. Are there any places near Hongdae or Sinchon where anyone has received a melasma skin booster treatment and was genuinely, truly satisfied? I'm curious if my complexion brightens up after just one session, or if I need to use it consistently for a few regular treatments for the benefits to really show. Since price is a factor I can't ignore, letting me know the approximate cost and recommended treatment frequency would be a huge help in planning my budget. I really want to find a place that does melasma skin boosters well this time to completely even out my uneven skin tone and achieve clear, radiant skin, ladies. Please share any information you have, even if it's just a short review!
말해뭐해26.06.20Views 56Likes 0 (Question) Are there possible side effects after orthodontic treatment?[3]
Hello, I finished my orthodontic treatment a few years ago. At the time, my teeth became much more aligned, and I was very satisfied. However, as time went by, I became worried that I might experience side effects later on. When I search online, I see mentions that teeth can shift back into place, gums may recede, or the tooth roots may be affected. I am curious to know the actual extent of this. I have also seen reviews stating that the jaw joint became uncomfortable or that the sensation of chewing changed due to a shift in the bite. I don't have any particular pain right now, but it worries me because sometimes my teeth feel weaker than before. Even though I wear my retainer consistently, could this cause problems later on? For those of you who finished your orthodontic treatment a long time ago, how is your current condition? Did you experience any side effects or discomfort years after the treatment, or is your result being maintained well without any major issues? I would be grateful if you could let me know if there are any specific areas I absolutely need to pay attention to when caring for my teeth after orthodontic treatment. I would appreciate any real-life experiences or advice you can share. Thank you.
메론잉26.06.19Views 74Likes 0 [Dapsimni The Sem Sehan Dental Clinic] I was worried about the skill level and cost before the implant consultation.[18]
I was recommended implant treatment at the dental clinic I usually go to. I didn't have any particular pain or anything, but I felt like something was getting stuck between my teeth much more than before, so when I asked about it, they said it seemed like my gums were inflamed and receding. I hesitated because I heard it was costly and takes a considerable amount of time, and now a lot of time has passed. A new dental clinic opened much closer than the one I used to go to. The hospital I used to go to requires a bit of a walk, but the new hospital is right in front of me, so I thought it would be better to go to the closer one, so I chose Dapsimni's. More delicate dental care I ended up visiting Since it's a new hospital, the facilities are clean, and I assume the equipment is likely new as well. However, since it is a newly opened place, there is no information about the clinic or Google reviews, and because I have absolutely no basis to judge whether the doctor is truly skilled, I was worried about their competence and the cost. Since the hospital is newly opened and the interior is white-toned, I got a very clean impression. The teachers were really kind. They also clearly explained the differences and pros and cons of implants by price range, allowing me to make an informed choice. I realized that all the things I was worried about before going were unnecessary. The accessibility is excellent, and there is nothing to complain about regarding the facilities or the service, so I thought I should use this place regularly.
켈리장26.06.18Views 117Likes 2 [Friendly Hong Dental Clinic] Before the orthodontic consultation, I was most worried about the cost and duration.[13]
As I considered getting braces, what weighed on my mind the most were, as expected, the hefty cost and the long treatment period. Since orthodontic treatment isn't something that ends after just one or two sessions, it was quite difficult to make a decision right away. After much deliberation, I decided to visit the highly-rated 'Friendly Hong Dental Clinic' for a consultation. I chose this place because there were many reviews stating that they provide thorough care without unnecessary treatments. When I actually visited, the atmosphere of the clinic was very bright, and the staff and the director welcomed me in a very friendly manner. In the consultation room, they meticulously analyzed my dental condition and clearly and openly explained the payment methods and estimated treatment duration that I was most concerned about. Since they explained everything at my level of understanding, all the anxiety and worries I had been feeling vanished like snow melting. After the consultation, I gained confidence in the orthodontic treatment I had been endlessly putting off, and I felt that I should have come sooner. If you are hesitating about orthodontics due to the cost or duration like I was, I highly recommend that you stop worrying and visit us to start with a comfortable consultation.
말해뭐해26.06.18Views 93Likes 3 Noble Dental Clinic Suwon) I was worried about the cost and maintenance before getting the implant.[28]
An acquaintance of mine had been looking into dental implants for a long time and recently got a molar implant. They said that while the high cost of implants was a concern, they were also worried because they saw people around them falling out quickly even after getting them. Then, I saw an advertisement and went to Noble Dental Clinic in Suwon. I heard that Noble Dental Clinic is a three-story building, and it was good because there are many doctors with specialists in each department, as well as the latest digital equipment. Furthermore, perhaps because it is a dental clinic with its own laboratory, they say the cost of implants is affordable. They said they were worried about the implant, but felt reassured because the doctors were kind and explained everything in detail. They also recommended it to me, saying that the treatment was thorough and delicate, so they received good care without any pain or anxiety. Even though my acquaintance is on the sensitive side, seeing them rave about how great it is, I think I should go there next time too.
원희26.06.17Views 121Likes 1 [Risom Dental Clinic] I was very worried before the consultation regarding the cost and pain issues of molar implants.[14]
Recently, my lower molar has been severely sensitive and throbbing, making it difficult to chew properly and causing me some trouble. I kept putting it off, but eventually decided to get a proper check-up, so I made an appointment and visited Resom Dental Clinic near my home. Even before going, I was worrying about everything on my own, thinking things like, "Am I going to need an implant at this rate?" and "I heard it costs a lot and is really painful..." I arrived at the dental clinic, had X-rays and a 3D CT scan, and received a full consultation with the director. As I had feared, I was diagnosed with severe inflammation near the root of my molar and advised that it would be best to proceed with extraction followed by an implant. I was suddenly terrified, but fortunately, the director and the office manager at Resom Dental Clinic were very kind and explained everything in detail. Since I am very sensitive to pain, I asked if the anesthesia or surgery would be very painful. They reassured me, saying that nowadays painless anesthesia systems are well-developed and the process is conducted in stages to minimize discomfort, so I should not worry too much. They mentioned that fortunately, my bone condition was not bad, so a minimal bone graft would likely be sufficient. I felt confident because they provided transparent guidance on the overall treatment process, duration, and even the cost—which was my biggest concern—without any unnecessary procedures.

I visited Raum Dental Clinic after worrying about the dental costs.[11]
I visited Raum Dental Clinic due to severe molar pain and was diagnosed with the need for a root canal. After deciding on the treatment, my greatest fear was by far the pain. Given its notorious reputation for being extremely painful, I was worried about whether I could endure the anesthetic injection or the suffering during the procedure; I was so nervous right up until the moment of the appointment that my hands were sweating. The dentist was always a place I was reluctant to go because I was sensitive to treatment costs. However, contrary to my worries, the director carefully examined my condition and administered anesthesia meticulously to minimize pain. Thanks to their continuous check-ups to ensure I wasn't experiencing any discomfort, I was able to complete the treatment much more comfortably than I had anticipated. I am extremely satisfied because the treatment was painless, making my fears completely unfounded.

[Health Column] What are the criteria for choosing the right orthodontic treatment for me? Wire braces vs. Clear braces[5]
✨Hello! This is Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Chief Director of SmileD Dental Clinic, where your dental health always comes first. 👋 Have you been secretly worried every time you look in the mirror because of your crooked teeth? 😢 Even if you decide on orthodontic treatment, you will find yourself at another crossroads when you actually try to start. This is the dilemma between traditional 'wire braces (bracket braces)' and 'clear braces (Invisalign)' that use transparent plastic! Today, I will summarize the key points in a very easy-to-understand way, covering everything from the distinct differences between the two treatments to how to make the wise choice that fits your situation perfectly. ✨ 1️⃣ How are teeth moved in orthodontics? The core principle of orthodontic treatment is to apply a constant force to the teeth 'continuously'. 📌 The secret to moving teeth, 'orthodontic appliances' A special structure is required to transmit precise force to the teeth in the desired direction, and this is precisely what we know as 'orthodontic appliances.' These appliances are broadly divided into two types. 🔸 Fixed method: This is a treatment method that involves firmly attaching a device to the surface of the tooth. 🔸 Attachable (Detachable) type: It is a method that uses a device that the patient can insert and remove themselves. 💁♀️ You were fascinated by how teeth move when you get braces, weren't you? Just like moving heavy furniture to a desired location by steadily pushing it little by little, The principle is that the device provides very precise and continuous stimulation to the tooth roots! 2️⃣ What are the differences between wire braces and clear braces? ✨ There are distinct differences in maintenance methods and how to wear the device depending on its features. 🦷 1. Wire braces (bracket braces) It is a traditional method of attaching devices called brackets to the teeth and securing them by connecting them with wires. ✔️ characteristic: The treatment is 'compulsory' because the patient cannot remove the device voluntarily. Since the device operates forcibly, it is advantageous for moving according to plan. ⚠️ caution: Maintaining oral hygiene, such as brushing your teeth after meals, may be somewhat inconvenient. Additionally, due to the device's structure, it may irritate the soft tissues in the mouth, causing discomfort or pain in the initial stages. 💎 2. Clear braces (Invisalign) It is a method of moving teeth by replacing thin, transparent special plastic trays made to fit each individual. ✔️ characteristic: The device is aesthetically excellent as it is barely visible 🤫. Above all, it has the huge advantage of being overwhelmingly convenient for hygiene management because you can temporarily remove the device while eating. ✨ Latest Trends: Recently, medical technology has advanced dramatically, making it possible to sophisticatedly solve even much more diverse and complex cases compared to the past. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Aren't clear braces less effective than wire braces? A1. Those who remember the early models might think that way. However, recently, materials and technologies, such as attachments attached to teeth, have advanced dramatically. In fact, in cases such as 'deep bite' where the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, clear aligners often lead to easier and more precise improvement. Ultimately, rather than the type of appliance The expertise of the attending specialist determines the outcome. do. Q2. Is there a significant cost difference between the two devices? A2. Due to the nature of the process requiring precise custom manufacturing, Invisalign (clear braces) is often priced higher than standard brackets (wire braces). However, even among wire braces, the device is attached hidden inside the teeth. Lingual correction If you choose ', the cost may actually be higher than clear braces. Therefore, rather than making a decision based solely on price, it is advisable to compare the pros and cons of each device with your lifestyle patterns. Q3. Who would you strongly recommend clear braces to? A3. For clear aligners, 'patient cooperation' is the absolute criterion that determines the success or failure of the treatment. Every day except when eating 'Self-directed' individuals who can strictly adhere to wearing times of 20 to 22 hours or more on their own I highly recommend it to you 👍. On the other hand, for those who are usually clumsy or find it troublesome and difficult to manage braces unless someone forcibly takes care of them, wire braces, which involve a mandatory nature, may actually be much safer and more advantageous. 🎯 Conclusion: Careful selection and consultation with a specialist come first. Straightening your teeth does not simply mean an external improvement that makes you look prettier. It is a very valuable health investment that reduces blind spots inside the oral cavity, makes oral hygiene easy to manage, and protects gum health for a long time. 💡 One more hidden advantage! During orthodontic treatment, you naturally avoid hard or chewy foods. As this process, the masticatory muscles (masseter muscles) gently contract, allowing you to expect the added benefit of a slimmer and improved facial contour. ⚠️ Above all, the most important thing is an accurate diagnosis that matches my actual oral condition and skeletal structure.

오수환 원장26.06.16Views 137Likes 3 [Health Column] Is There Really an Optimal Age for Orthodontics? A Comprehensive Guide from Teens to 70s ✨[4]
Hello, I am the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. Lee Hyun-seop It is! 👋 "Director, isn't it too late for me to get braces right now? 😢" Interestingly, not only patients in their 20s and 30s but even those in their 50s ask this question exactly the same way. Conversely, parents with young children often worry, asking, "My child is still in elementary school, should they get orthodontic counseling already? 🤔" To start with the conclusion, There is no absolute deadline for orthodontic treatment age! 🙅♂️ It is just that the purpose of starting orthodontic treatment and the direction of treatment differ depending on the age group. Today, based on the most frequently asked questions in actual medical and consultation rooms, Stories of Orthodontics by Age Group I will explain it to you easily and in detail. 👇 1️⃣ Parents of elementary school children! Do you need to get an orthodontic consultation already? 👦👧 🦷 Even if your baby teeth are still falling out Be sure to check the status of jaw growth around the age of 6 to 8. Give it a try! Many parents are often surprised, saying, "You're saying you're getting braces already when your child's permanent teeth haven't even all come in yet? 😮". However, visiting the dentist at this time is not to get braces attached immediately. This is to determine whether your child currently requires correction and when the optimal time for treatment is. ✨ 📌 Growth management can be particularly important if the following symptoms are observed: 🔸 When a tendency toward an underbite or receding chin is observed 🔸 When the mouth is severely protruding or there is an open bite where the upper and lower teeth do not meet 🔸 When there is an underbite where the lower teeth overlap the upper teeth 💡 A word of advice from the director! We strongly recommend visiting a dentist around the age of 6 to 8 to check the alignment of your teeth and the growth status of your jaw in advance. 2️⃣ Is the teenage growth period the most ideal time for orthodontic treatment? 🦷 🦷 Can control jawbone growth and The most efficient time due to rapid tooth movement no see! If I had to choose just one age for orthodontic treatment, most orthodontists would recommend the growth period. teenagers It talks about. 🧒👧 Since jawbone growth is still ongoing during this period, it is not only about simply aligning the teeth evenly Correctly controlling even the direction of jaw growth There is a huge advantage in being able to do it. Furthermore, the speed of tooth movement is relatively faster compared to adults. In fact, if orthodontic treatment is started during middle or high school, the range of treatment available is much wider than for adults. ⚠️ Parents occasionally ask, "Should I postpone braces due to academic stress or studying? 📝". If possible, do not delay it too much... It is good to receive benefits during the growth period. I tend to say that. 3️⃣ What is the most common reason patients in their 20s visit the dental orthodontics consultation room? 👱♀️👱♂️ 🦷 Interest in appearance is increasing, and people decide on treatment themselves. This is because it is the time for economic independence! The age group that most actively seeks orthodontic consultations at actual dental clinics is by far the 20s It is. 🎓 This is because many people decide on their own after becoming financially independent as they start their careers or college lives. It is also a time when interest in one's appearance increases significantly, especially when facing important events such as job hunting or marriage. ✔️ As a result, the device is not easily visible to others Ceramic braces, clear braces , or quickly proceed only with the necessary parts Partial correction Consultations primarily focus on aesthetics. 4️⃣ I'm in my 30s, can I start? It's never too late! 💼 🦷 If your teeth are gradually becoming misaligned or you feel tooth wear Now is the time to start orthodontic treatment. There is a regret that patients in their 30s most frequently express in the consultation room. It is the sentiment, "Ah... I should have just done it when I was in my 20s ㅠㅠ." 🥲 Many people visit our clinic after personally experiencing their teeth becoming increasingly misaligned as they age, having kept putting it off due to busy work lives. People in their 30s usually visit with these kinds of concerns: 🔸 When the front teeth start to spread apart little by little 🔸 When food keeps getting stuck due to extra teeth 🔸 When tooth wear occurs or the chewing sensation is abnormal 💡 A word of advice from the director! There is absolutely no need to worry that the corrective effect will be diminished just because you are in your 30s! On the contrary, since you clearly recognize the necessity of the treatment and are diligently following the doctor's instructions, Age group with excellent treatment cooperation That's what they say. 👍 5️⃣ Did you know that orthodontic treatment in people in their 40s is much more common than you might think? 🏢 🦷 Not only changes in appearance 'Functional purpose' to protect dental health This gets bigger. From their 40s onwards, the reasons for deciding to get braces differ slightly from previous generations. Of course, becoming prettier is good, but, I want to use my teeth for a long time The functional reasons become much more significant. 🩺 ⚠️ As you age, your gums may gradually recede or your teeth may spread apart, causing discomfort when chewing food, and you may even experience symptoms such as loose teeth. If If you have periodontal disease (gum disease) First, you can restore your dental health by thoroughly treating your periodontal tissues and then combining this with orthodontic treatment. 6️⃣ Is orthodontic treatment really possible for people in their 50s and 60s? 👵👴 🦷 The important thing is not age 'Condition of the Gum Bone'! It is Fully Possible Even for Those in Their 60s do. Many people say, "Doctor, why would I need braces at this age?" but in the actual consultation room, it is very easy to find patients in their 50s and 60s. 😮 What is truly important in orthodontics is not your age on your resident registration, but the one supporting your teeth Condition of the gum bone (alveolar bone) no see. ❌ Even if you are in your 20s, if your gum condition is terrible, orthodontics is difficult, and Conversely, even for seniors in their 60s, it is entirely safe as long as their gum bone is in good condition and healthy. Recently, for the care of aging teeth Orthodontics to create space before implant placement, orthodontics prior to bridge prosthetics Treatment is being actively carried out for purposes such as , or partial correction of the front teeth. ✨ 7️⃣ The era of braces for those over 70! What is more important than age? 💯 🦷 It seems like it is possible up to a certain age. Is this treatment absolutely necessary for my current condition? We need to consider this. While it was hard to imagine in the past, now that we have entered the era of centenarians, even seniors in their 70s and older are visiting dental clinics for orthodontic consultations. ☀️ The main goal for this age group is not beauty. To use your remaining natural teeth for a long, long time. no see.

이현섭 원장26.06.16Views 137Likes 3 What I was worried about regarding the premolar implant at Himplant Dental Clinic was the pain and the cost.[9]
I had to get an implant because I was missing a lower premolar. I've consulted with several hospitals. My biggest concerns at first were the pain after the implant surgery and the cost. I liked Himplat Dental Clinic the best. First of all, the price was reasonable because it was during the implant discount period. The director explained my dental condition in detail, Especially to make it easier to understand the condition of my teeth and bones by looking at the photos I felt confident because you explained it so well. The implant surgery didn't hurt much because of the anesthesia. I was scared and worried for no reason. I had a lot of bone grafts because I didn't have enough bone, so I swelled up quite a bit, but I recovered quickly. Choosing the right dental clinic is really important for dental implants. Himplat Dental Clinic is the best.

I think I saw news recently that hair loss treatment is also covered by national health insurance. I'm wondering if it will cost a lot to get hair loss treatment at a hospital.

보라카이26.06.15Views 70Likes 2 [Cheongdam Gowoonseon Clinic] My biggest concern before the blemish laser was the cost.[16]
My biggest concern before getting the laser treatment for blemishes was the cost. I was very worried because the blemishes on my face seemed to be getting darker over time. Since there was a limit to how much I could cover them with makeup, I started looking for ways to remove them. While searching, I heard that CO2 lasers were effective, so I began considering the procedure. However, my biggest concern before the procedure was the cost. I felt burdened hearing that the price varies depending on the number of blemishes and that I might need to receive treatment multiple times. I was also curious if it would really be effective. So, I visited Cheongdam Gounseon Clinic in Hwajeong, Gyeonggi-do for a consultation. I chose it because it was relatively close to my home and the reviews were positive. During the consultation, they thoroughly examined my skin condition first and explained in detail which laser was suitable for each type of blemish. They also provided guidance on the estimated cost and post-procedure care, allowing me to fully resolve any questions I had. I particularly remember that instead of simply recommending the procedure, they tailored the explanation to my specific skin condition. I hesitated a lot before visiting due to the cost, but after the consultation, I found it less burdensome than I expected. Understanding how the treatment proceeded also relieved a lot of my worries. If you are like me and struggling with blemishes while worrying about the cost or effectiveness, I would like to recommend starting with a consultation at Cheongdam Gounseon Clinic.

I was just worried because my teeth were damaged. I should have gone to the dentist in advance, but I couldn't. I am expecting to get an implant, but I couldn't even visit a doctor and was worried about the pain and cost. The biggest concerns are pain and cost. I decided to have a consultation at Seoul Smiling Face Dental Clinic. The reason I visited is that an acquaintance recommended it to me because they had received treatment there. I chose Seoul Smiling Face Dental Clinic because it looked neat and professional from the outside. After completing the registration, I waited in the waiting room. I checked the condition of my teeth while seeing the doctor first. It was a kind consultation, and they explained the condition of my teeth. I received additional consultation regarding implants, which resolved many of my questions. I felt more comfortable than I expected because a lot of my worries about the dentist were relieved. I recommend this to those with similar concerns.

I had my teeth and tooth structure filmed at Gimhae Myeongpum Dental Clinic to consult about implant surgery. Since I needed multiple implant procedures, my biggest concern during the consultation was the cost. The hospital I visited for an implant consultation was Gimhae Myeongpum Dental Clinic. The reason I visited was to receive a consultation regarding the implant procedure. The reason I chose this hospital is that I initially went there based on a family recommendation, but after receiving dental and oral treatment here, the director was very kind and treated me well. During the consultation, the director reviewed the recorded video and provided a clear explanation of the approximate cost and the implant procedure, including the number of implants required. After the actual visit, I was able to formulate an overall plan for the implant procedure, and the director provided detailed explanations based on numerous videos, Even though the price is a bit high, I recommend it to those who have similar concerns as me.

I need to get dental implants, but I was very worried because other places said I needed a bone graft. There is the financial burden, and it seems like the treatment process will be long. I couldn't make a decision easily. Before the visit, my biggest concerns were whether a bone graft was really necessary and how long the treatment would take and how much it would cost. After visiting Seon Dental Hospital for a consultation, they thoroughly assessed my current condition and explained that in my case, implants are possible without a bone graft. I was also able to fully resolve my questions by receiving detailed information regarding the costs and treatment process. After the consultation, my vague anxiety decreased significantly, and I trusted them even more because it seemed like they only recommended necessary treatments. Thanks to this, it was a great help in establishing a treatment plan.

I went for a dental check-up for the first time in a while and received shocking test results saying that I need to get dental implants. First of all, before visiting, I was worried about the extremely long treatment period for implants and the significant financial burden. I was also afraid of the pain. I heard from people around me that getting implants done at a specialized clinic would at least save me some trouble, so I visited Jo Hoon Dental Clinic, which is famous for implant procedures, based on a friend's recommendation. As rumored, the doctor was kind, and above all, the receptionist kindly explained the treatment process in detail, which gave me confidence and made me want to visit again. As expected, perhaps because it is a place famous for implant treatment, just as the rumors say. I received the implant procedure without any significant pain throughout the treatment. I recommended it to my family members who needed dental implants, and they also received the procedure.

Since Maunzaro is definitely more effective, will it cost more? I'm so curious if Wigovina Maunjaro is covered by insurance! I heard that it is priced relatively cheaply overseas.

I think the cost might be a bit of a burden, but if the results are guaranteed, I think it will be fine.

However, I was worried because I heard that there are some side effects to orthodontic treatment. And, I visited Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, very worried about the potential for a lot of pain during the orthodontic treatment! I was very worried about the pain and side effects of orthodontic treatment, but I decided to visit after seeing reviews saying that the director of Guoldam Dental Hospital examines patients very thoroughly and provides kind consultations. First of all, there were a lot of people when I visited, so the waiting time was a bit long, but I really liked that the director checked everything thoroughly and explained exactly which direction the correction should take. Also, you explained the pain and side effects well, which really relieved my concerns. First of all, the director mentioned that there is some pain in the beginning of orthodontic treatment and a poking sensation, but he said that this poking sensation can be alleviated to some extent by applying orthodontic wax. I liked that they told me there wouldn't be any side effects as long as I visited every month during the orthodontic treatment and followed the instructions well. If you are worried about pain or side effects from orthodontic treatment like I was, I recommend visiting Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu for a consultation.

Hello. I was very worried about having small breasts, so I received a consultation for breast surgery at View Plastic Surgery. My biggest concern was the cost, and I was also very worried about the surgery process and post-operative pain. I chose View Plastic Surgery because it is huge and operates its own medical checkup center, so it feels trustworthy. Since it is a major surgery, I wanted to get a consultation at a safe place. I thought it would be safe because View Plastic Surgery is the number one hospital for the most breast surgeries, so they have a lot of experience.

But I'll be very satisfied after the surgery, right? ㅠㅠ I'm still hesitating even after the consultation...
머랭이26.06.11Views 136Likes 1 My biggest concern when consulting about implants at Nowon Hub Dental Clinic was the cost.[23]
He says that although it is not perfect, it is best to use his own natural teeth, so he is delaying implants as much as possible. However, feeling my condition changing year by year, I had a brief consultation regarding implants. There are three main concerns when it comes to dental implants: cost, pain, and duration. For me, it was the cost. People say implants are affordable these days, but when you actually look into it, the cost is exactly the price of the implant itself. If you include structural repairs and treatment costs, the price is quite steep. I went to Nowon Hub Dental Clinic for a consultation because it is my regular clinic and they are a place that never over-treats. In fact, looking solely at the cost, there wasn't much difference, but since they presented all expenses incurred during the treatment period at once, I was able to at least reduce the burden of additional costs.

김인수26.06.08Views 156Likes 2 [Health Column] Is it too late to start orthodontic treatment now? A prosthodontist answers![4]
Hello, this is Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic. Chief Director Jeong Jae-wook It is. ✨ 🤔 "Will it be effective to start at this age?" Have you ever worried about this at least once, when someone around you starts orthodontic treatment, or when you are bothered by crooked teeth in the mirror? To start with the conclusion, regarding orthodontics There is absolutely no such thing as 'too late'! We will clearly highlight the key points regarding the distinct advantages and unique characteristics of adult correctional care, which are distinct from adolescent correctional care. Shall we begin the journey to find a confident smile right now? 💕 1️⃣ What is the difference between adolescent correction and adult correction? 👋 The biggest difference is right Presence or absence of growth It is located at. During adolescence, bones are soft and growth plates are open, making skeletal corrections such as prognathism or retrognathism possible. On the other hand, since growth has ended in adults, it is difficult to change the position of the skeleton, but the teeth and angles within the hard bone It can be corrected very precisely and without error. . 🎯 Even though it may look like similarly crooked teeth on the outside, adults need a customized movement plan that is perfectly tailored to their current skeletal condition. Just because your bones are strong doesn't mean correction isn't possible, so I recommend getting a precise diagnosis tailored to your skeletal structure first! ✔️ 2️⃣ Is adult orthodontics more painful and much slower? 👋 Slow down a little, but Healthier and more stable Moving! It is true that adults have higher bone density, so their cellular metabolism is slightly slower than that of adolescents. commonly 24~30 months It takes about that long, so it can be several months longer than for adolescents. ⏳ You may experience a dull ache for the first 2 to 3 days, but this is as your teeth find their proper positions Healthy Signs So you can rest assured! You may feel a heavy pain on the first night you wear the device, but you will surprisingly adapt within a few days. If you are very worried about pain and the duration, 'self-ligating braces,' which reduce pain by minimizing friction, or 'clear braces,' which offer a clean appearance, can be good alternatives. 💡 3️⃣ Are there any advantages to being an adult? 👋 Overwhelming cooperation and Thorough self-management is the best weapon. Adult orthodontics has 3 powerful advantages (TOP 3) unique to adults! 💎 🔸 1. Overwhelming cooperation with treatment 🤝 Unlike adolescents who are led by their parents, adults begin this process of their own strong will, so please strictly follow the doctor's instructions and precautions. This directly leads to the completeness of the treatment results. 🔸 2. Thorough Oral Hygiene Management 🪥 Because they meticulously use toothbrushes, interdental brushes, and dental floss on their own, the risk of cavities or gum disease that may occur during orthodontic treatment is significantly lower compared to adolescents. 🔸 3. Precise predictability without variables 📐 Since growth has already stopped, there is no unexpected variable called skeletal change. You can establish an error-free treatment plan by predicting future changes in facial shape or dental alignment with greater precision. The advantages of being an adult are maximized, especially in 'clear braces,' where self-care is essential. ✨ 💬 Ask Me Anything! (FAQ) Q1. Is it true that getting braces at an older age causes holes (black triangles) to form between the gums? It’s not that a new gum disease is developing; it’s just a phenomenon where the overlapping teeth straighten out, revealing the previously empty spaces! 😮 This can be sufficiently aesthetically corrected with procedures such as 'interdental reduction' or 'resin treatment,' so you do not need to worry too much. On the contrary, in the long run, it corrects the alignment of the teeth, which is of great help in preventing gum disease. Q2. Is 'extraction orthodontics,' which involves pulling out healthy teeth, absolutely necessary for adult orthodontics? Absolutely not! Whether or not to extract a tooth is determined not by the patient's age, but by the availability of space for the tooth to move and the degree of protrusion of the mouth. Recently, with the advancement of digital equipment, there has been a significant increase in cases where the dental arch is expanded or the teeth are pushed back to proceed without extraction. 🦷 Q3. I had braces when I was young, but they have become misaligned again as I have gotten older. Is it possible to have them re-corrected? Yes, of course it is possible! There are many adult patients who can restore their teeth to a straight alignment in a short period of time through partial orthodontics or clear aligners, especially in cases where crowded teeth have grown in again or teeth have gradually shifted due to neglecting retainer care. 😊 🎯 Conclusion: An investment in your youngest days for future oral health If crooked teeth are left untreated, food gets trapped between them, causing cavities and periodontitis (gum disease). Adult orthodontics goes beyond simple cosmetic purposes, The most reliable preventive treatment to protect your teeth and gums for a lifetime no see. ⚠️ Rather than wasting time hesitating thinking it's 'too late,' first have an experienced and trustworthy Prosthodontics specialist Find us and start with accurate digital precision diagnosis and consultation! It is the greatest gift you can give your future self. ✨ Dr. Jae-wook Jeong, Chief Director of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Ministry of Health and Welfare specialist in Prosthodontics Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Master's degree from Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Internship at Yonsei University Severance Hospital, Sinchon; completed residency in Prosthodontics.

I have been considering braces for a long time because of my tooth alignment, but When I actually tried to start, the cost was my biggest concern. I'm worried that if I start it for no reason, I might feel burdened halfway through. I had been continuously postponing the counseling itself as well. Then I came across a review of White Dream Dental Clinic Gangnam Branch, and I visited with the intention of at least getting an orthodontic consultation. At White Dream Dental Clinic Gangnam Branch Current dental condition and orthodontic treatment period He explained the differences between the orthodontic methods in detail. It is not an atmosphere where only the expensive methods are unconditionally recommended. The best part was that it compared options that suited my situation. What I particularly remember is When it comes to orthodontics, it is more important to have a plan that can be consistently maintained rather than starting too hastily. That was the explanation. After receiving counseling Many of the things I was vaguely afraid of have been clarified. I haven't started right away yet, but The feeling that it is unconditionally burdensome, unlike in the past, has decreased significantly. If you are someone considering orthodontic treatment I felt that the consultation at White Dream Dental Clinic Gangnam Branch was quite good.

Through the consultation, I had my current skin condition checked and received a detailed explanation of how the Rejuran procedure is performed. I was able to receive guidance on the estimated cost, the number of sessions required, and post-procedure care, which resolved many of my questions. I haven't decided to get the procedure yet, but after the consultation, my vague worries have lessened.

담율로26.06.07Views 121Likes 1 I Replaced My Laminates After 10 Years — An Honest Review: From Side Effects to Cost[7]
I first got veneers when I was 19, and after more than 10 years, I finally replaced them. The reason I received it in the first place wasn't because I had a major dental problem. My teeth were fairly straight without braces, but they were slightly spaced apart because I was missing one molar. At that time, I got veneers because I heard they would make my teeth look much prettier, and I was actually satisfied at first. But after using it for over 10 years, side effects have accumulated. It broke twice, and the biggest problem was discoloration. The gaps between the laminates have turned black. I found out later that this phenomenon occurs because old adhesive melts over time, and food gets stuck in the gaps. Every time people around me told me that something was stuck in my teeth, I became increasingly embarrassed to smile broadly. So I mustered up the courage to go replace it. Removing the 10-year-old laminate took longer than I expected, and seeing my real teeth after removal was quite shocking. I realized once again just how much I've ground down over time. Cavities were also discovered during the removal process, so I had them treated as well. The new laminate is much thinner and more transparent than the old one, so it looks natural. It also makes my face look less long. The cost was in the 800,000 won range per unit, and you need to be careful for a week after application because there is a risk of discoloration if it comes into contact with alcohol. I really realized how different technology is now compared to 10 years ago while replacing it haha. Please note that individual differences exist, so this is for reference only :)
마카롱26.06.04Views 157Likes 5 [Health Column] 3 Things More Important Than Implant Costs: Criteria for Choosing a Failure-Free Clinic[2]
✨ Hello! We always put your dental health first. SmileD Dental Clinic, Chief Director Oh Su-hwan It is. 🥰 When considering dental implant treatment, many of you likely search by comparing with the 'lowest price' as your top priority. 🔍 However, it is truly heartbreaking to see patients in the consultation room who have hastily chosen a hospital based solely on cost, only to come to me later suffering from poor follow-up care or unexpected side effects. 😢 In fact, dental implants are not simply a surgery where you implant an artificial tooth and that's it; it is a highly precise treatment process that requires a perfect balance of three factors, from accurate pre-operative diagnosis to long-term maintenance. 🦷 Today, I will clearly summarize the 3 criteria for choosing a truly fail-safe implant dental clinic that are hidden behind the price! 👇 1️⃣ Implant experience and Total Treatment Is this a place where it is possible? ✨My precious Harmony between natural teeth and implants Check out the comprehensive medical care system that preserves and cares for together Many people choose a hospital after seeing the phrase "implant specialist" in an advertisement. However, under our country's medical system, there is no separate specialty called 'Implantology,' and actual treatment is completed through close collaboration among various dental subspecialties. The key point we must focus on here is that rather than a dental clinic that insists solely on implant placement, the patient's inherent preciousness 'Total Dental Clinic' that comprehensively considers natural teeth and implants It is to select. This is because inside our mouths, there are not only spaces that need to be newly implanted, but also natural teeth that must be saved and used for a long time. Furthermore, our medical team, having honed their proficiency through countless implant placements, possesses solid know-how to ensure safe and successful treatment even in unexpected, high-difficulty cases encountered during surgery. 2️⃣ Is it an 'explanation-centered' hospital that communicates with patients? Rushing treatment based solely on the counseling manager's guidance without a doctor's careful diagnosis Factory-style dental clinic Be vigilant The so-called practice of receiving a precise diagnosis from a doctor very briefly, and then hastily proceeding with a contract based solely on the consultation manager's words regarding specific treatment plans or surgery decisions. Factory-style dental clinic You must be cautious. ⚠️ Implant treatment is between the patient and the medical team Information asymmetry This is an area where it can occur very severely. 📉 If a patient undergoes surgery without fully understanding the details of the treatment, it becomes very difficult to clearly determine liability if side effects or problems arise later. Fully explaining the surgical process and the patient's condition and communicating closely with them is itself an excellent first step in treatment. Make sure to keep a close eye on whether the hospital operates an official blog or YouTube channel to actively communicate and resolve even the smallest questions from patients, and whether the doctor makes a kind effort to help patients understand during in-person consultations! 💬 3️⃣ Is there a 'post-care' program that takes responsibility until the very end? ✨ Check out the thorough regular check-up system to prevent side effects that are scarier than the implant itself Implant treatment does not end once the artificial tooth is safely implanted into the gum; it is a long journey where 'real care begins from that moment.' 🏁 Signs of complications and side effects, such as slight loosening of the prosthesis or gum swelling, appear very subtly in the early stages, making it extremely difficult for patients to notice them on their own. Therefore, periodic and thorough regular checkups are an absolute necessity. 🔍 If there is a place that irresponsibly says the following immediately after the surgery, it is safer to avoid it if possible. 💬 "If you have no discomfort, please come back in a year." Thoroughly checking whether the hospital consistently operates a systematic follow-up inspection program and demonstrates full responsibility by promising a clear written warranty period is the surest shortcut to avoiding wasting your precious time and money! 💰 🧐 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Isn't a dental clinic that specializes exclusively in implants always better? 🤔 A1. Of course, choosing a dental clinic with an overwhelmingly large number of implant surgery cases is a good idea. 👌 However, you should avoid places that insist solely on extraction followed by implant placement, even if there is a possibility of saving your natural teeth. Care that ensures the health of the existing natural teeth and the occlusion of the newly implanted implant prosthetics interlock harmoniously. Total Dental Clinic Receiving treatment here is much more advantageous in the long run. ✨ Q2. The waiting time for treatment at the dental clinic I plan to visit is too long and difficult. Should I just put up with it and keep going? A2. Time convenience, as well as accessibility, plays a very significant role in a patient's satisfactory hospital experience. 🙏 If waiting times become excessively long and you are unable to receive necessary medical care or treatment smoothly in a timely manner, it will ultimately result in harm to the patient. Also, check if they have an efficient appointment and treatment system in place that allows you to receive medical care smoothly and without major disruptions at the appropriate time you desire. Q3. How can I prevent 'peri-implantitis,' where the gum bone erodes? ⚠️ A3. Implants are fundamentally different from natural teeth because they do not have nerves distributed inside. 💡 For this reason, even if severe inflammation develops in the surrounding gums, the patient feels little to no pain, making it easy to neglect. Ultimately, the only way to use your implants for a long time without side effects is to visit the dental clinic without fail according to the schedule set to have the condition of the prosthetic connections precisely checked, and to receive thorough care through systematic regular checkups and scaling. 🦷 🎯 Conclusion and Words of Advice 📌 Please make sure to remember this for successful treatment! Dental implants are absolutely not a trivial treatment to be chosen simply by comparing price lists and chasing the place offering the lowest price. 🙅♂️ You can achieve regret-free results only when firmly supported by the surgeon's seasoned clinical experience, explanation-centered communication that listens to the patient's voice, and a post-operative care program that takes responsibility for your entire life. ✨ Rather than being lured by exaggerated low-price advertisements or flashy discount offers to make a hasty decision about surgery, I hope you carefully compare the criteria I shared today one by one and make adjustments to regain your healthy teeth. 🥰 If you have any further questions regarding the condition of your teeth, please feel free to visit our dental clinic anytime for a thorough, personalized one-on-one consultation with a specialist! 💬 Smile D Dental Clinic Chief Director Oh Su-hwan Graduated from Yonsei University College of Dentistry Major in Orthodontics, Yonsei University Graduate School of Dentistry Ministry of Health and Welfare certified orthodontist Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists Completed internship and residency in Orthodontics at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital International member of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) International member of the World Federation of Correctional Organizations (WFO) Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists Certified by the Korean Association of Orthodontists View more expert columns by Dr. Oh Su-hwan, Director of Smile D Dental Clinic 🔗 [Expert Column] Clear Aligners: Wire-Free Orthodontic Treatment—Can It Really Be Unnoticeable? 🔗 [Expert Column] No-Prep Dental Laminates: Is It Really 'No Prep'?

These are inquiries mixed with concern, such as, "Do I really have to have teeth extracted?" and "Can a protruding mouth be corrected with non-extraction orthodontics?" There is a lot of information on the internet claiming that non-extraction is always better or that extraction drastically changes one's face, which further confuses patients. However, actual orthodontic treatment is not determined solely by whether or not to extract a tooth, Comprehensive diagnosis of tooth alignment, facial shape, degree of space shortage, etc. You must do it. In this column, I will explain the true differences between extraction and non-extraction orthodontics and provide clear selection criteria in an easy-to-understand manner. I hope this helps you find the right treatment direction for you! ✨ 1️⃣ What is the most important key point regarding tooth extraction versus non-extraction in orthodontic treatment? 📐 The essence that determines the success or failure of orthodontic treatment lies in 'securing space' to move the teeth. For both extraction and non-extraction orthodontics, the key to the treatment outcome is how much space can be secured to properly align the teeth. This is because only when adequate space is secured in our mouth can we use it to push a protruding mouth inward and straighten crookedly overlapping extra teeth. Generally, when performing extraction orthodontics Premolars (small molars) with a width of about 7 to 8 mm You will gain that much extra space by extracting the tooth. On the other hand, with the recent development of various orthodontic devices non-extraction By utilizing every possible means to the fullest extent through orthodontics, it has become possible to create space comparable to that of tooth extraction. Representative techniques for creating space without tooth extraction include Arch expansion (3~4mm) , Interdental reduction/IPR (3~4mm) , Posterior movement of molars (3~4mm) There are methods available, and by combining all of them, it is possible to secure about 9mm of usable space. < Case of Posterior Molar Movement > 📍 Example: If the space for tooth alignment is too narrow, resulting in severe crowding or a situation where a protruding mouth needs to be moved back significantly, securing space through premolar extraction can be a clear solution. However, if conditions allow for the precise application of non-extraction techniques, meaningful space can be achieved without extracting teeth. 📌 "Rather than relying solely on extreme online reviews and insisting on a specific method, it is essential to first undergo a precise dental diagnosis to determine the actual amount of space missing." 2️⃣ Can non-extraction space creation methods be applied equally to all patients? 📐 The three techniques for creating space without tooth extraction must be applied strictly and selectively based on the patient's oral and jawbone structure. The three methods for creating space for tooth movement through non-extraction orthodontics are excellent alternatives, but unfortunately, they cannot be unconditionally applied to all patients. This is because each patient has different anatomical characteristics. ① Expansion of the dental arch : This method is actually Limited use only for patients with a narrow jaw width You must do it. If this procedure is performed excessively on a patient with a normal jaw width solely for the purpose of widening the space, the overall occlusion may collapse or long-term stability after treatment may be significantly compromised. ② Interdental Reduction (IPR) : The side of the tooth Finely trim by 0.2~0.5mm It is a method of gathering the entire gap space. Generally, if the procedure is performed within 0.5mm per area, there are no problems with dental health, and it is advantageous to distribute the work evenly across multiple tooth surfaces rather than grinding down a large portion of a single tooth. If performed to the maximum extent on all areas, approximately 3mm of space can be obtained per side. ③ Posterior movement of molars This is a technique that creates space in the front by pushing the entire dentition backward. The most important thing here is Does there actually exist space within the bone for the molars to move backward? no see. In particular, a precise 3D diagnosis must be performed beforehand to determine if there is available space in the posterior area of the mandible (lower jaw). 📍 Example: If posterior movement is forcibly attempted on a patient who has absolutely no space to push the molars back due to structural limitations of the lower jawbone, the teeth may not move properly or side effects may occur. 📌 It is essential to receive a precise diagnosis from an orthodontist to determine whether arch expansion is necessary, or if the tooth structure allows for the safe application of interproximal reduction or posterior movement. 3️⃣ If you are on the borderline between extraction and non-extraction, what criteria should you use to make a decision? 📐 For borderline patients with a space shortage of 4 to 7 mm, the decision is made by comprehensively considering tooth shape, caries activity, type of appliance, and the patient's pain sensitivity. Based on the results of a precise examination, if the required space is significantly lacking by more than 9mm on each side, extraction is easily determined, while if it is slightly lacking by 4mm or less, non-extraction is recommended. The problem lies with 'borderline patients' who have a space deficiency of 4 to 7 mm. In this case, since both methods are possible, you must use the following five detailed criteria as a guide. ① Shape of the teeth: If the shape is close to a triangle, non-extraction treatment is much more advantageous. do. This is because it is shaped to fully utilize Interproximal Reduction (IPR), and the reduction can naturally reduce the 'black triangle,' the empty space between teeth. ② Number of prosthetics and dental caries (cavity) activity: If you have a lot of dental prosthetics in your mouth or an environment where cavities form easily, extraction orthodontics is actually better. This is because it is difficult to adequately perform interdental reduction, which involves finely grinding the sides of the teeth, in such an oral condition. ③ Type of calibration device used: Invisalign achieves arch expansion much faster, but traditional brackets (wire devices) perform molar posterior movement better. do. Therefore, even for patients who appeared capable of non-extraction posterior movement based on brackets, insisting on using Invisalign may actually lead to a situation where extraction becomes necessary. ④ Anatomical spatial limits: Regardless of whether wisdom teeth are extracted, it is necessary to determine how much bone space remains behind the molars that can actually be moved, and whether the jawbone is capable of accommodating arch expansion. If both non-extraction pathways are structurally blocked, it is advisable to choose extraction for a clean result. ⑤ Discomfort and pain felt by the patient: This is a point that many people misunderstand, In fact, the tooth extraction treatment itself is almost painless. In fact, arch expansion devices or posterior movement devices used in non-extraction orthodontics often cause greater discomfort and pain in the mouth. Therefore, if you prefer a slightly more comfortable and less cumbersome process during the orthodontic treatment period, we recommend tooth extraction. 📍 Example: If a borderline patient with square-shaped teeth and significant traces of cavity treatment finds it difficult to tolerate the pain and foreign body sensation of complex non-extraction devices, choosing to extract premolars rather than forcing a non-extraction procedure may be advantageous in terms of both the treatment process and the outcome. 📌 "When you are teetering on the edge, that is precisely when in-depth communication with medical staff truly shines. Please share your lifestyle and pain tendencies with the medical team in detail." 🔍 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Doesn't interproximal reduction (IPR) cause significant tooth sensitivity during non-extraction orthodontics? A1. No, you don't need to worry too much. 🙅♂️ Common tooth sensitivity usually occurs when the neck of the tooth (cervical area) is worn down. During interdental reduction, the area that is ground down very finely is the outermost 'proximal enamel' region of the tooth, where sensory nerves are not distributed. Since the amount removed is also very minimal, you do not need to worry about side effects such as sensitivity. However, if not performed precisely, food particles can get trapped between the teeth, creating an environment where cavities (dental caries) are likely to develop, so the procedure must be performed accurately by a skilled specialist. Q2. After having wisdom teeth extracted, will space naturally form to push the molars back? A2. It is half right and half wrong. 💡 When extracting a wisdom tooth that has erupted straight into the mouth, available space is created to push the molars backward by utilizing that opening. However, for impacted wisdom teeth that are completely buried in the gum bone, simply extracting them does not automatically create space for the tooth to move. In this case, the limit of the practically usable posterior space is determined by the anatomical boundary between the soft tissue and bone behind the tooth, rather than the presence or absence of wisdom teeth. 📋 Conclusion Today, we have taken a detailed look at the key criteria for tooth extraction versus non-extraction, which is the biggest concern for those facing orthodontic treatment. Having operated an orthodontic clinic in Nowon for a long time and personally treated countless cases, there are certainly tricky cases where even I, as an expert, agonize deeply over which approach—extraction or non-extraction—will bring the most perfect results to the patient. This is because orthodontic treatment is a precise medical field that must encompass not only visible gaps between teeth but also the condition of the gums, the overall treatment duration, changes in facial shape, and even the anatomical limitations imposed by the appliance. ⚠️ Please make sure to remember this! 📌 Rather than blindly deciding on a treatment method based solely on rumors such as "non-extraction is better" or "extraction is faster," the first step is to thoroughly examine your precise diagnostic condition. 📌 The wise choice at the borderline may vary depending on the shape of your teeth (whether they are triangular), the activity of cavities, and your sensitivity to pain. Above all, the most important key to success is to accurately align your desired aesthetic and functional goals through constant communication with medical professionals, and for the doctor and patient to move forward step by step while looking toward the same goal. As this is a significant journey that determines your smile and dental health for a lifetime, I sincerely hope you find a trustworthy orthodontist to discover the right solution that fits your oral structure perfectly. 🦷 Shine Orthodontics Director Cho Byeong-ju Graduated from Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry / Doctor of Dental Surgery Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Department of Orthodontics Intern / Resident Graduated from Catholic University of Korea Graduate School of Medicine with a minor in Plastic Surgery / Master of Medicine Visiting Professor, Department of Orthodontics, Catholic University of Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital Visiting Professor at CHA University Gangnam Hospital Invisalign Official Faculty Regular member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists (KAO) Member of the Korean Society of Clinical Orthodontists (KSO) 2019/2020/2021/2022 Awarded the Excellent Case Presentation by the Korean Association of Orthodontists

hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. As you get older, you come to deeply realize just how precious dental health is. In particular, as elderly people begin to lose their teeth one by one, they find it difficult to chew food, their pronunciation becomes slurred, and they are prone to losing confidence in interpersonal relationships. In the past, many people wore dentures, but nowadays, the trend is to prefer implants due to the comfort they provide, which is similar in texture to natural teeth. However, the biggest obstacle would undoubtedly be the considerable 'cost'. Today, for those of you who have been hesitating to seek treatment due to the financial burden, I will explain in a very simple way how to receive benefits through the senior implant support system. 1. Who is eligible for dental implant support for the elderly? 🦷 If you are 65 years of age or older and have partial edentulism, you can receive treatment for up to two teeth in your lifetime with a 30% co-payment. Currently, health insurance provides dental implant benefits to support the dental health of seniors. However, this does not apply to all situations, and you must meet the following requirements. 🔸 Age Requirements Seniors aged 65 or older 🔸 Dental condition Partially edentulous condition with some teeth remaining 🔸 Membership Eligibility Health insurance subscribers or dependents If you meet these conditions, you can receive insurance coverage for up to two policies in your lifetime, out of the total cost Co-payment approximately 30% You can proceed with treatment at a high level, significantly reducing the burden compared to standard implants. 2. Why do prices vary from dental clinic to dental clinic, and when are additional costs incurred? 🦷Additional procedure costs may apply depending on the materials used and the condition of the patient's gum bone. Many patients ask, "The government provides support, so why is the final price different at every dental clinic?" The reason is that differences arise depending on which brand is used when implanting, the type of prosthesis, and the experience of the medical staff and the dental clinic's system. In addition, not all cases end with just the basic cost of the implant covered by health insurance. ✔️ Cases of severe gum bone deficiency ✔️ Cases where maxillary sinus lift is necessary ✔️ If your overall gum condition is poor In particular, elderly patients often have already absorbed alveolar bone (gum bone), so additional treatments such as bone grafting may be required; in such cases, a separate additional costs This may occur. 3. Why shouldn't you choose a dental clinic based solely on price? 🦷Since the elderly require consideration of both resilience and systemic diseases, the proficiency of medical staff should be the top priority. Dental implants are by no means a one-time treatment to be carelessly placed at a cheap place and called off. For the elderly, precise diagnosis is essential because they have low bone density and slow recovery rates, and above all, often suffer from systemic diseases. If you make a decision based solely on cost and then experience side effects requiring re-implantation, it could end up costing you double the time and money. Therefore, when choosing a dental clinic, be sure to check the checklist below! 📌 Do the medical staff have extensive clinical experience? 📌 Do they use genuine implant materials? 📌 Is a systematic follow-up care and regular check-up system in place? 📌 Is the scope of after-sales service and warranty clear? Ultimately, the core of the implant is How long and stably it can be used without side effects after being planted once It depends on. 4. What should I do if I have systemic diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure? If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or osteoporosis, you must inform the medical staff before the procedure, as these conditions affect bone fusion. There are a great many elderly patients with underlying conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis. These conditions involve the implant firmly attaching to the bone Bone fusion It can have a direct impact on the process or wound healing. For successful results, you must thoroughly check any medications you are currently taking before the procedure and meticulously manage blood sugar levels and oral hygiene to reduce the possibility of inflammation or unnecessary additional costs. 5. How to keep dental implants healthy for a long time after the procedure? Thorough personal hygiene and regular dental checkups are the only shortcuts to extending your lifespan. Just as important as getting implants economically with support is knowing how to care for them for a lifetime after they are implanted. If you strictly follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can use it stably for a long time. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or abnormalities in dental prosthetics are detected early, major treatments can be prevented. 🦷 Thorough brushing is a must; make dental floss and interdental brushes a part of your daily routine. 🚫 Absolutely quit smoking, as it causes inflammation around the implant. ⚠️ Avoid foods that are too hard or excessively tough, like squid. 🏥 Visit the dentist regularly for checkups, even if you have no symptoms F AQ Q1. You mentioned that support is limited to two times in a lifetime. If I am not satisfied with the dental clinic, can I switch midway and receive support again? A1. Health insurance support for dental implants is, in principle, Up to 2 in a lifetime Once the registration process is complete, it is difficult to change dental clinics due to a simple change of mind. You must carefully review everything from the initial diagnosis stage to the scope of aftercare before making a prudent choice. Q2. Are bone graft costs also covered by health insurance benefits (30% co-payment)? A2. No, unfortunately, additional surgeries such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lifts are Excluded from insurance coverage These are often non-covered items. Since additional costs may arise depending on the patient's gum condition, a thorough diagnosis and consultation are required in advance. conclusion The senior implant support system is a valuable health insurance benefit that improves access to treatment for elderly patients who have been delaying treatment due to the burden of costs. Rather than blindly chasing after places with the lowest prices, choose one that can accurately diagnose my condition Medical staff with extensive clinical experience Whether there is, Post-management system You must also consider whether it is properly equipped to ensure stable use for a long time. If you are experiencing dental discomfort, please do not delay; we encourage you to consult with medical professionals to design a healthy treatment plan that is perfect for you.

이현섭 원장26.05.28Views 220Likes 3 I am posting a question to inquire about the cost of Botox treatment.[8]
Hello. I am planning to get Botox injections to improve my square jaw, frown lines, and fine lines around my eyes. I heard that Botox is such a popular procedure that it is a light treatment, but when I actually looked into clinics, I found that there is a wide variety of domestic and imported products (Allergan, Xeomin, etc.), and the prices vary quite a bit depending on the brand. I am curious about the typical average market prices for domestic and imported Botox for different body parts. Is it true that the more expensive imported Botox tends to cause less resistance or has a much longer duration of effect? I would like to estimate how many units are typically required for specific areas, such as the jawline or wrinkles, to see if it is effective, and specifically how much the cost would be if I were to receive treatments regularly. Please share any tips on how to get it safely at a reasonable cost during events.
아침햇살7726.05.26Views 108Likes 4 Does the cost difference increase the sooner you treat cavities?[2]
I was told at a recent dental checkup that I have a small cavity. Since I don't have any pain yet and it doesn't cause any inconvenience in my daily life, I'm debating whether I should get it treated right away. The dentist said it is best to treat it early, but some people around me say it is okay to wait and see before getting treatment, so I'm confused. I am particularly worried because I have heard that the longer cavities are left untreated, the larger the scope of treatment becomes and the higher the costs go. Has anyone had any experience with cavity treatment? How much did it cost to treat early-stage cavities? Have you ever delayed treatment only to end up needing more extensive treatment? Did you feel the difference in cost between resin, inlay, and crown? How much the cost and duration increased if it went to root canal treatment If I went back, I wonder if I would treat it right away I am also curious to hear the experiences of those who received treatment while not in pain, just like me.

I have a slightly protruding mouth, so I am considering orthodontic treatment. When I look at before-treatment photos, I see many people whose facial impression seems to have changed not only in tooth alignment but also in their overall appearance. In particular, there are many reviews saying that the profile looks prettier as the mouth recedes, and there are also comments about the jawline looking more defined or the face appearing smaller, so I'm looking forward to it but also curious. On the other hand, there are also reviews saying that the cheeks looked thinner or the face looked longer after correction, so I am confused about what kind of changes occur. Has anyone had braces?
담율로26.05.25Views 65Likes 2 Arm Wart Removal Review - CO2 Laser Cost, Satisfaction, Recovery Period[2]
I had two small spots on my arm without even knowing when they appeared, and at first, they were really small. But at some point, it started getting bigger and bigger. It wasn't a giant spot, but I noticed that a spot the size of a grain of rice had grown noticeably larger, so I had it removed before it got any bigger. First, choose a dermatologist. I inquired at a nearby dermatology clinic. They said the spot is about 1.5cm (5mm) and told me to expect to pay 50,000 won per piece. Of course, value-added tax is separate. So I started looking into dermatology clinics in other, more bustling areas. Found a place that's cheap and open until 9 PM! I visited after making a reservation. I heard that CO2 lasers have the highest satisfaction rate for mole removal, so I chose this one. They will mark the area to be treated during the consultation. After that, apply the numbing cream and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes. When called, just go into the treatment room! Then please wipe off the anesthetic cream. Please clearly mark the area to be treated for mole removal again and meet with the director. When I told the director that the spot was getting bigger They told me that these brown spots are normal and there is no need to worry. They told me that if it turned black, a biopsy would be necessary, but this amount is fine. So I only had the mole removed. The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes or less. I think it was. A photo taken immediately after the Duoderm was applied right after the procedure. It didn't hurt, just an unpleasant stinging sensation that lasted for a while. First, the dots are one 0.3cm (3mm) and one 0.5cm (5mm) After the consultation, they assessed the price for each 0.3cm spot, stating it was a wart (raised mole). + If you purchase 1 sheet of Duoderm at a dermatology clinic I purchased an additional 5,000 won. By doing this Cost 32,500 won including VAT! In terms of satisfaction with the CO2 laser, the price was also quite good. Manage with Duoderm for 1-2 weeks after the procedure. They said it was a mole and wouldn't come off all at once. The hospital told me that to improve my satisfaction with the CO2 laser, I needed to receive at least 2 to 3 treatments. After the first procedure As expected, only the pigment came out, and the spot wasn't completely removed. Still, the size and color have definitely become lighter. It wasn't to the point where satisfaction with the CO2 laser was low. I wasn't too worried because I had been told that it might not come off all at once. I was told it is better to wait two months for the laser treatment, so I went back exactly two months later. Two weeks after the second procedure After getting it done twice, it's definitely cleaner than before. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant during the first procedure, but After receiving the second session, I could really feel the satisfaction with the CO2 laser. It was the time when the mole was completely removed and only skin color restoration remained! Two weeks later, that is, a month later. It is now. The mark from the mole removal has also disappeared. I deliberately calculated the date to get the procedure done before midsummer, and it was a success. It took 3 months for it to disappear completely. It took a little longer than I expected, but It disappeared completely, so I am very satisfied with the CO2 laser, and the wait was worth it. If you have tried CO2 laser for mole removal I think everyone will agree on the satisfaction with CO2 lasers. Personally, considering the cost, recovery process, and results, Overall, this procedure was one where the satisfaction with the CO2 laser was very high.
OK26.05.25Views 221Likes 1 [Health Column] Why Is the Cost of Implant Revision Surgery More Expensive Than the Initial One? The Real Reason Explained by a Dental Specialist[1]
hello! Lee Hyun-seop, Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic no see. There are many people who expect that once they have implant surgery, they will be able to use them reliably for a lifetime or for a very long time. In fact, if you provide thorough after-sales service, there are many cases where you can use it stably for over 10 years without any issues. However, unfortunately, situations often arise where you face the cost of implant revision surgery due to a lack of aftercare or sudden gum inflammation. "I already spent a lot of money on surgery, do I have to do it again?", "Why is the cost of revision surgery higher than the first time?" My heart feels heavy whenever I receive questions from patients who are upset, saying things like that. So today, I will clearly explain, tailored to the patient's perspective, exactly why implant revision surgery costs arise and in what cases the cost difference is significant! 1. What are the main causes that lead to implant revision surgery? The main reasons for needing to re-implant an implant include peri-implantitis (inflammation of the surrounding gums), fracture of the prosthesis, and failure of initial fixation. 📌 The most common culprit, peri-implantitis The most common reason for deciding on revision surgery is peri-implantitis. Inflammation of the gums and bone surrounding the implant can lead to bone resorption, where the alveolar bone responsible for firmly supporting the implant erodes. Initially, it starts mildly with gum bleeding or slight swelling, but if left untreated, it eventually leads to the implant becoming severely loose. 📌 Damage to prosthetics and structures due to excessive force If you enjoy eating hard and chewy foods or if excessive force is continuously applied to the oral cavity, structural damage such as breakage of the prosthesis or loosening of internal screws may occur. If you visit a dentist early, this problem can be resolved relatively simply, but if you delay and neglect it for a long time, it will eventually lead to implant revision surgery, resulting in much higher costs. 📌 Initial fixation failure due to failure to properly fuse with bone Immediately after implant surgery, the process of 'osseointegration,' in which the gum bone and the implant firmly bond as one unit, is extremely important. However, there are cases where implants fail to properly anchor to the bone due to factors such as excessive smoking or drinking after surgery, failure to control diabetes, or insufficient initial post-operative care. 2. What are some abnormal implant symptoms that absolutely should not be overlooked? If you experience gum bleeding, looseness, food getting stuck, or feel looseness or discomfort when chewing, you should get a check-up promptly without delay. . If you feel any subtle changes or discomfort in your mouth, you must never dismiss it by assuming it will get better on its own. Whether initial response This is because it is the key factor determining the difference in the cost of implant revision surgery. 🔹 My gums keep bleeding every time I brush my teeth. 🔹 I feel like my implant tooth is slightly loose. 🔹 Food keeps getting stuck between my teeth more than before. 🔹 When chewing food with enjoyment, it feels inexplicably uncomfortable and aching. 🔹 I feel a slight looseness that is different from when the prosthesis was first placed. If you experience even one of the symptoms mentioned above, visiting a dentist promptly to check your condition is the wisest way to significantly reduce the difficulty of treatment and the cost of re-surgery. 3. Why is the cost of implant revision surgery more expensive than the initial surgery? This is because revision surgery is not simply about re-implanting the implant, but involves complex recovery treatments simultaneously, such as the removal of the existing implant, treatment of inflammation, and bone grafting. ! Many people ask, "Why is it more expensive than the first time when the dentist is just implanting it exactly the same way?" Implant revision surgery is by no means a simple process of just pulling it out and quickly re-implanting it. This is because the root cause of the problem with the existing implant must be accurately identified, the area damaged by inflammation restored to normal, and the re-implantation process must be repeated from the beginning. When actually performing the surgery Unlike the initial surgery, the following complicated treatment processes are added. 🔸 Removal of existing implants : The problematic existing fixture (artificial tooth root) already embedded in the gums must be cleanly removed. At this point, the difficulty varies widely depending on whether it simply pops out or requires surgical removal that involves cutting away the alveolar bone. 🔸 Treatment of surrounding inflammation : If the implant is filled with peri-implantitis, you must undergo treatment to completely scrape out the surrounding infected tissue and clean the area thoroughly. 🔸 Bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift : If the gum bone has already been severely lost due to inflammation, bone grafting or sinus lift surgery is essential to refill the bone and create a foundation for placing a new implant. 🔸 Re-implantation surgery and prosthetic remanufacturing : We re-implant a new implant into the firmly restored alveolar bone, and completely redesign and fabricate the abutment and crown to suit the patient's current oral condition. 💡 Implant Revision Surgery Cost Formula at a Glance [Surgical removal of existing implant + Treatment for inflammation and gum recovery + Advanced bone grafting + Re-implantation of new implant and fabrication of prosthesis] In the end, all of this Existing treatment + recovery treatment + retreatment Because the process involves complex steps performed simultaneously, the overall cost of the implant revision surgery is inevitably higher than the initial cost. 4. Is it true that the cost of revision surgery varies from person to person and that a complete removal might not be necessary? 🦷 🦷Yes, that is true! The cost varies depending on the extent of inflammation and bone loss, and we can reduce the financial burden by replacing only the upper components instead of extracting the entire bone. ! This is precisely why it is difficult to get a clear, fixed price even if you call a dental clinic out of the blue and ask, "How much does implant revision surgery cost?" The exact cost of revision surgery is as follows: Individual patient's oral environment and precise examination results This is because it varies completely depending on. Extent of inflammation and degree of alveolar bone (gum bone) loss Difficulty of removing existing implants Whether bone grafting and maxillary sinus lift are performed Number of implants requiring re-implantation Fortunately, not all patients necessarily have to undergo the terrifying surgery of digging out the entire thing and replanting it. Depending on the condition, treatment is neatly divided into two main directions. ✔️ Cases where only parts can be modified or replaced (relatively low burden) Fortunately, if the gum bone is very strong and there is a simple problem only with the upper prosthesis, an internal screw has loosened, or it is only slightly damaged, there is absolutely no need to extract the entire tooth. Since only some parts need to be simply repaired or replaced, the pain and cost burden are significantly reduced. ⚠️ Cases where full revision surgery is essential (somewhat high burden) If peri-implantitis has progressed severely, causing significant bone resorption in the surrounding area, or if the fixture itself within the gum bone is completely fractured and damaged, it is necessary to surgically remove the entire existing structure completely before proceeding with re-implantation, which increases both the difficulty and the cost. 5. What is the best management method to definitely reduce the cost of implant revision surgery? The most perfect way to save money is regular checkups every 6 months to 1 year, thorough follow-up care using dental floss and interdental brushes, and quitting smoking. The greatest secret to drastically reducing the cost of implant revision surgery and protecting your wallet is ultimately adhering to the basic principle of 'thorough initial care.' If you meticulously follow just the following three rules in your mouth, you can completely avoid the risk of revision surgery. ✨ Make regular dental checkups every 6 months to 1 year a part of your daily routine! You must never skip the regular check-up schedule provided by the dental clinic. If invisible, microscopic gum inflammation or loosening of dental prosthetics is detected early when they are still very small, you can avoid major re-surgery and prevent extensive treatment with simple measures, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious experience. ✨ Much more meticulous oral hygiene care than natural teeth! Since implant teeth do not have nerves, caring for the surrounding gums is much more important than for natural teeth. Since regular brushing alone cannot remove all the fine debris stuck in the crevices, you must carry a set of dental floss, interdental brushes, and water flossers (oral irrigators) to consistently and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny. ✨ Thoroughly manage smoking that slowly melts away your gum bone! Smoking is a terrifying culprit that drastically increases the frequency of peri-implantitis, which causes inflammation around implants, and explosively raises the risk of bone resorption, where the gum bone collapses. In particular, you must firmly avoid smoking, which is harmful in every way, immediately after implant surgery or during the sensitive initial settling period, in order to safely preserve the foundation of your precious teeth. FAQ Q1. If the gums around the implant bleed, do I absolutely have to have them all extracted and undergo re-surgery? ? A1. No! There is absolutely no need to be scared right from the start. In cases of early-stage periodontal inflammation characterized by bleeding gums, or simply loose screws or minor damage to the upper prosthesis, treatment is possible without the need to extract the entire tooth; only specific parts can be neatly modified or replaced, allowing for burden-free treatment. However, if the bone has already severely eroded, a full re-operation may be necessary, so it is important to undergo a thorough examination immediately upon discovery. Q2. Why does smoking after implant surgery increase the likelihood of re-surgery and cost more money? ? A2. This is because smoking constricts blood vessels in the mouth, fatally interfering with the most critical process of 'osseofusion,' where the gum bone and the implant must adhere tightly as one. This leads to an uncontrollable increase in the risk of peri-implantitis and bone resorption, ultimately resulting in the burden of massive revision surgery costs where the entire implant structure must be removed and bone grafting must be performed again from the beginning due to the failure of initial fixation. conclusion The cost of implant revision surgery is by no means a one-dimensional expense of simply implanting a new artificial tooth component. This is a comprehensive treatment fee that includes a highly specialized recovery process to safely and healthily normalize the gum environment and alveolar bone foundation, which have been severely collapsed and damaged due to inflammation. Therefore, the most certain key point to prevent frightening side effects and massive waste of money is the speed of catching subtle abnormal signals before the problem snowballs. Don't carelessly miss the timing by thinking, "It doesn't hurt yet, so it'll be fine," or "Even if I feel a slight wavering, I'm busy, so I'll go later." The habit of visiting a dental professional without delay to have your condition thoroughly checked when you feel even slight shaking or minor discomfort. This is truly the best wisdom for fully protecting your precious dental health and, consequently, definitely saving the biggest costs.

Botox I am writing this because I am curious about the cost. I heard that Botox is a representative anti-aging procedure that is effective for reducing wrinkles, and many people prefer it because the procedure is quick and there is almost no recovery period. I've heard that while the cost of Botox varies depending on the clinic and the treatment area, the prices are relatively reasonable, so satisfaction is high. I've heard that consistent care helps prevent wrinkles and can be considered an investment in restoring skin confidence in the long run. However, I think it is important to consider effectiveness and satisfaction together, rather than just looking at the price. By any chance Botox Has anyone received one? Please share your experience or advice regarding the actual costs and your level of satisfaction.
말해뭐해26.05.14Views 90Likes 4 Honest review of Ulthera costs… It’s more expensive than I thought, but I’m wondering if it’s worth the effect.[4]
I agonized over the cost of Ultherapy for a really long time before finally getting it. I hesitated because I had heard so much about how expensive it is, but when I actually went for a consultation, I realized there were significant differences depending on the number of shots and the clinic. I was a bit shocked when I first heard the price, but I decided to go ahead with it after hearing that it is definitely effective among lifting procedures. The procedure itself finished faster than I expected, and although I kept wondering if the cost of Ultherapy was a waste, after getting it, I thought, "Did I make the right choice?" Since there wasn't an immediate dramatic change, I felt somewhat unsatisfied with the value for money compared to the Ulthera cost at first. I felt like my face was slightly tightened, but it wasn't a dramatic change. But as 2 to 3 weeks passed, the feeling gradually changed. I felt my jawline becoming more defined and my skin becoming slightly firmer, so from then on, I started to understand the cost of Ultherapy a little better. In particular, I could feel that the sagging looked less noticeable when looking at my profile, so my satisfaction increased in relation to the cost. To be honest, the cost of Ultherapy is indeed a burden. It’s not a one-time procedure; you have to get it periodically to maintain the results, which makes it even more of a dilemma. However, since it definitely provides a natural-looking lifting effect compared to other dermatological treatments, I don't think it's fair to say the cost is a waste. In conclusion, while Ulthera is expensive, the effects develop over time, so if you are willing to wait, the satisfaction level is quite good. I felt that for those who want to see their skin gradually firm up rather than expecting immediate changes, Ulthera is not a bad choice considering the cost.
작작해26.05.13Views 165Likes 3 If you are worried about orthodontic pain, here are some recommended reviews of Clippy-C.[8]
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 97Likes 4 I'm curious about the types and costs of anti-aging treatments.[4]
Usually, when I don't wear makeup, my complexion looks dull or I have dark circles. My face tends to look dull overall, so I wanted to try an anti-aging treatment. I heard it helps with skin tone, so it also has a skin lifting effect. Are there any types of anti-aging treatments that also help with complexion? There seem to be so many different types that it was hard to figure out what kind of effects they have. Since there are so many options, I'm having a hard time deciding, and the cost is also a burden. I’d like to try an anti-aging treatment if there is one that is effective yet not too expensive. I'm planning to visit a dermatologist soon for a consultation. I'm going to consider the procedures they recommend.

Botox is a representative anti-aging treatment that is effective in reducing wrinkles. The cost of Botox varies depending on the treatment area and the clinic, but the attractive thing is that you can receive it at a relatively reasonable price. It is highly satisfying, and consistent care is also very helpful in preventing wrinkles. It is also the reason why many people prefer it, as the procedure time is short and the recovery period is minimal. When considering the cost of Botox, it is important to weigh the effectiveness and satisfaction together, rather than just looking at the price. You could say it is an investment that restores skin confidence in the long run.

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.

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 132Likes 1 This is a question regarding the cost of dental implants.[4]
These days, there are many advertisements from dental clinics stating that implant costs are around 250,000 won. Of course, I only realized after actually undergoing the procedure that bone graft costs are excluded. However, I couldn't understand why it is cheaper without insurance coverage than the 300,000 won cost with insurance, so I inquired with the National Health Insurance Service but did not receive a definitive answer, so I am asking here.
이재철26.05.05Views 86Likes 2 I'm wondering when to start orthodontic treatment. Is it not a good idea to start after becoming an adult?[3]
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 71Likes 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 175Likes 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.

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 57Likes 2 I'll honestly tell you the cost of skin tag removal.[4]
I was worried about skin tags, so I looked into the cost of removal myself and even got the procedure done. To summarize, the cost varies depending on the number and location, but it is not as burdensome as I expected. In particular, removing several at once made the cost feel a bit more reasonable. At first, I was worried because I heard that the cost of removing skin tags varies from hospital to hospital, but after actually consulting with a doctor, I found that the price usually ranges from 5,000 to 20,000 won per tag. Small skin tags were relatively inexpensive, while larger ones or those in sensitive areas like around the eyes were often priced higher. One advantage I felt regarding the cost of skin tag removal was that discounts are often applied when multiple procedures are performed simultaneously. Therefore, when there were many of them, the cost actually didn't feel burdensome. Additionally, the procedure itself was completed quickly and recovery was fast, so I was quite satisfied considering the cost. However, I felt it was important to choose a clinic with extensive experience rather than making a decision based solely on the cost of skin tag removal. This is because if you only look for the cheapest options and end up with scars or recurrence, the cost of removal could actually be higher in the long run. It is also advisable to thoroughly check hygiene and the condition of the equipment. In conclusion, the cost of removing skin tags is relatively affordable per tag, and it is more efficient to have multiple tags removed at once. Personally, I am highly satisfied with the results considering the cost, so if you are considering it, I recommend getting a consultation without delay.
작작해26.04.28Views 395Likes 1 Review of the effectiveness, pain, and cost of the anti-inflammatory injection for pustular acne[2]
I went to a dermatologist because of hard, pustular acne that wouldn't pop, and I received anti-inflammatory injections. The acne was so large that the injections only started to show effect after I received them twice. I will share my experience regarding the pain, cost, and recovery period, as well as the effectiveness of the injections. This is the huge pimple I had on my forehead. It wasn't just big; it was red and stuck out even when viewed from the side. When I get breakouts on my face, I usually just disinfect them at home, extract them myself, apply medication, or wait for them to disappear on their own without touching them. However, this acne didn't go down for almost three weeks. I went to the dermatologist thinking it might be an epidermal cyst, but fortunately, it wasn't; it was a pustular acne breakout. Even the doctor looked at it and said it was too big, haha. They explained that I need to have the extraction done first and receive an anti-inflammatory injection. I went to the treatment room, and after lightly poking with a needle, the extraction was performed. Instead of using a tool, the director squeezed it out by hand. So it really hurt so much. The extraction was quite painful. I got an anti-inflammatory injection right after the extraction was finished, and the injection didn't hurt at all. The doctor said a lot of yellow pus came out when they squeezed it, and perhaps because it was big, it bled so much that I even had to put on a Medifoam! Anti-inflammatory injections are usually priced per unit, and while it varies by hospital, the place I went to charged about 15,000 won. The next day. It was just exactly the same... It's only been a day, so I figured that's how it is and waited a bit, but... After 3 days The size decreased slightly, but it was still bulging, and the anti-inflammatory effect didn't appear immediately as much as I had expected. I thought I'd wait one more day, but the next day was the same. On the fourth day, I went back to the dermatology clinic and got another anti-inflammatory injection. For major skin issues, a single treatment wasn't enough to produce the effect of an anti-inflammatory injection. Fortunately, after receiving two injections, the swelling finally flattened out, and only then was I able to properly feel the effect of the anti-inflammatory injection. And after getting an anti-inflammatory injection, the marks don't just disappear instantly or go right in. Once the inflammation subsides, it becomes darkly pigmented like a spot. In my case, it went from convex -> flattened -> discolored -> disappeared. It recovered in this order, but the discoloration lasted a really, really long time. I think it went on for over two weeks in this state. It took almost a month to get it restored. The difference before and after🤣 It was such a huge pimple~ For large pimples like mine, the effects of the anti-inflammatory injection may not appear immediately, but for general skin troubles, it is said that the effects often appear relatively quickly! I think it will recover quickly if the size is small. I've had it injected into my chin before, and back then, the discoloration really lasted for over half a year. Perhaps because I have naturally weak skin that takes a long time to discoloration even from a mosquito bite, I noticed that the effectiveness of the anti-inflammatory injection varied depending on my skin condition and the size of the blemish. Fortunately, there were no side effects like pitting or depressions after the injection, but I could definitely see the effect of the pus draining out and the skin becoming flatter.
