The difference before and after braces is so great! Seriously, the best! Braces of a lifetime![2]
The difference before and after braces is completely different~! Seriously, the best ㅠㅠ Braces of a lifetime When children were young, they had braces Why do you do that?? I consoled myself by thinking, "I'm okay." But after seeing many reviews before and after orthodontic treatment, One day, I thought I should try it Radically?? Hahahahaha I think it was done suddenly! There are good hospitals in the Cashdoc Hospital event It was possible to do it cheaply and reasonably. https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/1378 This person completed orthodontic treatment at Oran Dental Clinic. Today I will tell you about the changes before and after orthodontic treatment. I would like to leave a review about Orthopedic Clinic. Since I was little, my teeth have been a bit misaligned. In particular, the front teeth were severely protruding. Because of this, I had no confidence when I smiled, I even avoided taking pictures. Then why do you get braces and stuff like that? What did you say to the kids like this? Haha I finally decided to get braces, While looking into several dental clinics, I ended up visiting Orun Dental Clinic. Orchid Dental Clinic won my heart with its friendly consultation and reasonable prices. After starting orthodontic treatment, I received consistent treatment for two years. As a result, my teeth were perfectly aligned. Now I can smile confidently, Taking pictures can also be fun. The difference before and after orthodontic treatment is huge. So I think it's really, really good https://cashdoc.me/hospitalevent/eventdetail/469 Ceramic dentistry is managed in a somewhat novel way. I didn't do it myself The hospitals I looked into usually offer lump sum or installment payments. Ceramic dentistry is fixed at 150,000 won per month. You can get braces. If you can just endure the 5,000 won coffee a day without any additional cost Because 150,000 won is collected It really didn't look that bad. Those who have been to the dentist will know, but I have also read articles about before and after orthodontic treatment. If you check the guide and visit, As for the actual maintenance cost, Let's talk about additional costs! But in ceramic dentistry They said there were no additional costs. Scientifically correct your face Find the scientific proportions that fit your face shape They said they would correct it. So it seemed like it would be really good. You guys also check out the before and after of orthodontic treatment, and do you think it looks good?? If you want, I recommend you go to both hospitals.

When I look at InMode reviews, quite a few people say they gained confidence in taking photos. For those of you who have actually tried it, did you notice any changes when taking selfies or photos? I'm curious!
채소걸26.07.02Views 29Likes 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 192Likes 2 Let me show you the before and after difference of nostril Botox 😊[2]
I'll show you the before and after difference of my nostril Botox!! (*My actual photo attached^^) I've been interested in the before and after difference of nostril Botox since college. Since I was young, I had a bad habit of flaring my nostrils when I laughed. Actually, when I was little, people at least said I was cute haha. As time passed and I grew up, my nostrils had widened due to my habit of constantly flaring, and My nose ended up looking really wide. As a result, I guess you could call it a pig nose? It was really bad. The side effects of nose surgery were too severe and the price too high, so I gave up after just a few consultations, and eventually, after seeing the before and after difference of nostril Botox I proceeded with the procedure, and I think I've had about 3-4 sessions so far. The photo above shows the actual before and after difference of my nostril Botox. So, what kind of procedure is this? Haha. To notice a definite before-and-after difference in nostril Botox, you need to get this much to think, "Ah, my nostrils have shrunk a bit!" Actually, the reduction in the size of the nostrils lasts for about 6 months, while the effects of Botox last, but After that, the function of the nostril muscles returns, but perhaps because the muscles are quite strong, the recovery is slower compared to other areas. It was definitely visible, haha. This is what the area around my nose looks like right now. If you look at the before and after difference of nostril Botox, since it is a procedure that regulates the movement of the muscles around the nose, It was also good for reducing the feeling of my nostrils opening excessively when I laugh or talk!! The photos are nice, but I think you'll see it's even better in person... In particular, the best thing about the before and after difference of the nostril Botox was, The fact that the sides or nostrils used to look widened to the sides the moment I smiled, even though I usually look fine, has decreased. Especially for those who will notice a significant difference before and after nostril Botox, if you were stressed about your nostrils looking wide, If you are someone who has been worried that the shape of your nose looks different every time you smile However, since the nose is located in the center of the face, it is important to have a thorough consultation tailored to your face shape and muscle movements rather than deciding on a procedure without careful consideration. Please keep this in mind when proceeding with the treatment.💛 If you've been hesitating, take a look at the before and after difference of my nostril Botox and give it a try ^^
지은26.06.30Views 42Likes 0 How did you take care of your skin before and after the lifting procedure?[3]
The skin care or home care products you usually receive I was wondering if it was okay to keep using it. There is also talk that we need to take a short break. I think there is less information about these aspects of daily life than I expected.
이하린26.06.25Views 38Likes 5 Is it normal to gain weight before and after my period?[5]
I usually manage my diet well and exercise consistently, but I am worried because my body suddenly swells and I gain about 1 to 2 kg as my period approaches. I haven't eaten particularly much, but my body feels heavy and my belly seems to have gotten bigger, so I get anxious for no reason. Especially before my period, my appetite increases more than usual, and I constantly crave sweets or carbohydrates. Whenever this happens, I get stressed worrying that my diet might be failing. My weight does gradually return to normal once my period starts, but since this happens every month, I wonder if it is a normal phenomenon. Is there anyone else who experiences weight gain or swelling before and after their period like me? I am curious whether the weight gain is actual fat or just temporary water retention. I would also like to know if it is better to maintain my usual diet during this time, or if it is better to manage it a bit more loosely.
담율로26.06.24Views 51Likes 2 Seeing the before and after difference of the skin booster, I realized the need for skincare.[2]
I started looking into the before and after difference of skin boosters because of my dry and rough skin. As my skin condition changed after the procedure, I started to notice the difference before and after the skin booster. I am still managing my skin and maintaining the before-and-after difference from the skin booster. My skin tended to get severely dry whenever the seasons changed. Even after applying base makeup multiple times, the inner dryness was not easily resolved, and I repeatedly experienced a feeling of being shiny on the outside yet tight underneath. So, while looking for a way to fundamentally improve my skin balance, I became interested in the before-and-after difference of skin boosters. After reading reviews, I saw many comments saying that it didn't just provide simple hydration but actually changed the moisture level deep within the skin, so I had high expectations. I proceeded after receiving a direct consultation, but at first, I was skeptical because I didn't immediately feel a significant change in the before and after of the skin booster. However, after a few days, my skin texture gradually improved, and the overall moist feeling started to last. I could feel the biggest difference before and after the skin booster in that the areas where my makeup looked cakey were definitely reduced. In the past, I used to feel like my skin looked dry and my makeup would break down by the afternoon, but that has been greatly alleviated. When comparing the photos, my skin tone and texture looked more even, and the overall impression felt much more refined. Since then, my satisfaction with the before and after difference of the skin booster has gradually increased. Currently, I am managing my condition by checking it regularly, and my skin condition remains more stable than before, even with seasonal changes. I am consistently noticing the difference before and after using the skin booster, in that it is not just temporary hydration but a change in my skin condition itself.

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 91Likes 1 (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 [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.

이현섭 원장26.06.16Views 137Likes 3 I was worried about side effects before getting orthodontic treatment at Guoldam Dental Hospital in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon.[16]
I decided to get orthodontic treatment before I get any older because I heard that it becomes difficult as you get older. 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.
김대박26.06.11Views 121Likes 2 The Real Reason You Must Get a Forehead Lift Along with Upper Eyelid Surgery in Your 50s (Maximizing Before-and-After Difference)[6]
hello, Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery no see. As I enter middle age, whenever I look in the mirror, I notice that the skin around my eyes and the tissues on my forehead are sagging, unlike before. If your eyelids droop heavily and your eyebrows drop, it is easy to look much more tired or older than your natural appearance. In such cases, many people simply assume it is an eyelid issue and only consider upper blepharoplasty. In reality, the underlying cause is often the forehead and eyebrows sagging together. Today, let's take a closer look at an anti-aging combination that transforms dull-looking eyes into a refreshing look and effectively addresses the root causes of aging! 💡 The root cause of eyelid drooping is not the eyelid itself, but, Descent of the forehead and eyebrows It may be. Upper eyelid surgery and forehead lift Synergy combination Expect a natural and perfect anti-aging effect! 🔹 Why are upper eyelid surgery and forehead lifts a perfect match for middle-aged women? It lifts sagging eyelids and drooping eyebrows simultaneously to address the root cause of aging. So why does a synergistic effect occur when the two surgeries are performed together? It is because the upper parts of our face are closely connected to each other. 1. Solving the root cause of eyelid sagging! 📌 For middle-aged women, it is not just the skin of the eyelids that stretches; often, the eyebrows themselves droop downwards. Upper eyelid surgery completely tightens sagging eyelid skin, but it cannot lift drooping eyebrows. If a forehead lift is performed in conjunction with this, the eyebrows are lifted to a normal position, and the entire area around the eyes becomes brighter. 2. Creating a natural eye shape without artificiality ✨ If upper eyelid surgery is performed aggressively without addressing the condition of the drooping eyebrows, excessive skin may be removed, resulting in a fierce or artificial appearance of the eyes. However, if you combine it with a forehead lift, the eyebrows and eyelids are harmoniously improved, making your impression less harsh, your eyes look naturally refreshed, and your field of vision widens. 3. Smooth out even deepening forehead wrinkles! ✔️ When our eyelids droop heavily, we unconsciously raise our forehead muscles to open our eyes wider. This compensatory mechanism causes deep wrinkles to form on the forehead. A forehead lift helps significantly improve forehead wrinkles by correcting this habit of opening the eyes. 4. Transformation from a gloomy and angry impression to a bright and youthful impression 🥰 When the eyelids and eyebrows are lifted simultaneously, the dark shadows on the face disappear. If you are someone who is often misunderstood by those around you as looking sleepy, tired, angry, or depressed, you can expect a noticeably bright and vibrant youthful appearance. 5. Reduced risk of re-surgery due to unsatisfactory results! 📉 If you perform surgery on only the eyes without accounting for eyebrow sagging, the eyelids may look heavy again after a short time, and satisfaction may drop significantly. In fact, there are many cases where patients consider revision surgery due to this, but combining a forehead lift from the beginning can significantly reduce the risk of such revision surgery. 🔹 Why do people feel that upper eyelid surgery alone is not enough? This is because aging around the eyes is not just a problem of the eyelids, but a complex phenomenon in which the forehead, eyebrows, and temples change together. Many people think, "My eyelids are just sagging, so I'll just need eye surgery, right?" However, insisting on a standalone surgery often leads to some regrets. ⚠️ Eyebrow drooping could be the real cause. Even if it appears as though the eyelids are sagging, in most cases, it is actually the eyebrows pushing down and covering the skin. Since the cause lies elsewhere, simply cutting off the eyelids will not resolve the fundamental problem. ⚠️ If you cut away too much skin, it may cause discomfort. If an excessive amount of eyelid skin is removed without calculating the amount of eyebrow sagging, you may suffer after surgery from difficulty closing your eyes, a feeling of tightness in the eye area, or an unnatural, closed-off appearance. ⚠️ Forehead wrinkles and restricted vision remain. Since upper eyelid surgery thoroughly improves the eyelids themselves, it has no effect on forehead wrinkles or the position of sagging eyebrows. If eyebrow sagging is severe, surgery on the eyes alone may not provide clear vision, leading to continued functional frustration. To achieve balance across the entire upper face, you must comprehensively consider the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, and temples to get closer to the correct answer. 🔹 What changes occur when upper eyelid surgery and a forehead lift are performed together? You can simultaneously achieve functional improvements with an unobstructed view and aesthetic effects that balance the entire face. When the two surgeries are combined, the synergy effect is doubled. The specific expected benefits are as follows: Solve functional frustrations! 💡 🔹 Improved vision and reduced eye strain: As sagging skin is lifted, your field of vision becomes clear and unobstructed, and fatigue in the muscles around the eyes is significantly reduced. 🔹 Improvement in eye-opening strength: Your eyes open comfortably without having to force them open. 🔹 Reduced use of forehead muscles: It becomes much more comfortable because you don't have to squeeze your forehead to open your eyes. Aesthetic anti-aging effect! ✨ 🔹 Clear and lively eyes: The sleepy and tired impression changes clearly. 🔹 Natural eyebrow position: The eyebrows find their proper place without looking forced, making the impression softer. 🔹 Forehead wrinkle reduction and a youthful appearance: As the compensatory action of the forehead muscles decreases, deep forehead wrinkles are naturally alleviated, giving a brighter impression. 🔹 What are the side effects you should know before becoming beautiful? Since all plastic surgeries can cause side effects depending on the individual, you must check thoroughly beforehand and make a prudent decision. For safe and satisfactory results, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with potential symptoms in advance. division Possible side effects and symptoms Side effects of upper eyelid surgery Swelling, bruising, asymmetry, and scarring, which are typically expected after surgery, may occur. Additionally, as this is a surgery involving the eye, dry eye syndrome However, initial discomfort with eye closing may occur, and overcorrection or undercorrection may occur. Forehead lift side effects surgical site Temporary loss of sensation and you may experience a pulling sensation in the scalp. As with upper eyelid surgery, swelling, bruising, asymmetry, and scarring may occur, and hair loss may develop around the incision site, or very rarely, nerve damage There is a possibility. 🔹 If you have decided on parallel surgery? Please make sure to pay attention to this! Since facial structure and the rate of aging vary from person to person, a precise, customized plan is essential. Please be sure to check the following points for successful comprehensive anti-aging. 🔍 Analysis of individual aging status is necessary — Changes in the entire upper face, including the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, and temples, must be analyzed in three dimensions. 📐 Eyebrow position measurement is essential. You must accurately measure how far down your eyebrows are to prevent an unnatural look. ✏️ Precise plan for the amount of skin excision — A sophisticated design must be included to prevent side effects caused by excessive resection. 👨⚕️ Choosing experienced medical staff is important — As two surgeries are performed simultaneously, the expertise of a specialist with extensive anatomical knowledge determines safety. 💡 I highly recommend this to people like this! ✔ For those whose vision is usually restricted and blurry due to drooping eyelids ✔ For those whose forehead wrinkles have become particularly deep due to the habit of raising their eyebrows ✔ For those whose eyebrows droop over their eyes, making their impression look stifled ✔ Those who have been diagnosed that upper eyelid surgery alone will not be sufficient to improve the effects of aging ✔ Middle-aged women who want natural, non-artificial anti-aging effects 🔹 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. Upper eyelid surgery alone would suffice; is a forehead lift absolutely necessary? A1. It is not absolutely necessary. However, if the underlying cause of eyelid drooping is 'eyebrow descent,' satisfaction may be lower if only upper eyelid surgery is performed, so performing a forehead lift together can lead to much more natural and complete results. Q2. If I have two surgeries at the same time, will the recovery period become extremely long? A2. Swelling and bruising may last a little longer in the initial stages compared to performing only one surgery. However, there is an advantage in being able to improve both the eyes and forehead in a single recovery process, rather than undergoing two separate recovery periods for each surgery. Q3. If I get a forehead lift, won't my eyes be lifted too high and make me look fierce? A3. By precisely considering your individual facial proportions and eyebrow position for proper correction, the result will not look unnaturally lifted as you are concerned. On the contrary, you can achieve a comfortable and natural lifting effect that looks just like your original self. 🔹 Conclusion 🔹 Key Points: The key to eye surgery for middle-aged women is not simply making the eyes bigger, but balancing the upper face, extending from the forehead to the eyebrows and eyelids. 🔹 Management Points: Depending on the individual's rate of aging and daily lifestyle habits after surgery, the effects can be maintained healthily for several years or more. 🔹 Necessity of specialist consultation: To accurately determine the true cause of your drooping eyelids, we strongly recommend that you first receive a precise diagnosis from a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience. I hope you find the real cause hidden behind your drooping eyes and regain your most beautiful and vibrant gaze! ✨ Garnet Plastic Surgery Clinic Director Baek In-soo - Graduated from Korea University College of Medicine - Graduated from Korea University Graduate School (Major in Plastic Surgery) - Plastic surgeon at the National Medical Center - (Former) Chief Director of Jewelry Plastic Surgery Clinic - Regular member of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons - Regular member of the Korean Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery - Regular member of the Korean Craniofacial Society - Regular member of the Facial Contouring Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons - Regular member of the Oculoplastic Surgery Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons - Regular member of the Rhinoplasty Research Group of the Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons View more expert columns by Director Baek In-soo of Garnet Plastic Surgery Clinic 🔗 [Health Column] Improving Eyelid Sagging in Middle Age: Key Points of Natural-Looking Upper Blepharoplasty 🔗 [Health Column] Why Under-Eye Surgery Changes Mid-Face Impression: A Summary of SOOF Lower Blepharoplasty Standards 🔗 [Health Column] Why You Should Consider Forehead Reduction and Forehead Lift Together 🔗 [Health Column] Under-eye Surgery for Those in Their 40s: Is Lower Blepharoplasty Always the Answer?

백인수 원장26.06.11Views 308Likes 3 My facial impression changed as I experienced the difference before and after the nose filler.[7]
I was worried about the shape of my nose, so I decided to look into the before and after difference of nose fillers. I started to notice the before and after difference of the nose filler amidst the natural changes following the procedure. Currently, I am maintaining the before and after difference of the nose filler without it being excessive. At first, I kept worrying that my nose looked flat. I felt like my nose looked less centered whenever I took photos, so I became interested in the before and after difference of nose fillers. So I looked up various reviews, but since there was a mix of opinions saying it looked natural and others saying it looked awkward, I was even more conflicted. So in the end, I decided to get counseling first. During the consultation, they explained that they would adjust it naturally to match the overall facial proportions. After hearing that, my anxiety about the before and after difference of the nose filler decreased a little. I couldn't really feel the exact changes right after the procedure due to swelling. Actually, it felt a bit awkward, so I even wondered if I should have done it. However, after a few days, my nose line started to get a little more defined. That is when I started noticing the difference before and after the nose filler. The change was especially noticeable in the side profile. My face felt more balanced than before, and my overall impression looked clearer. Even when taking photos, it felt like the three-dimensionality was more alive than before. It felt like the impression became clearer as the parts that previously looked a bit bland were refined. It didn't feel like a drastic change, but it was fascinating how the overall balance seemed right. So, I actually felt more satisfied with this natural change. People around me have also told me that my impression has softened, even though it isn't a huge change. After hearing that, my satisfaction with the before and after difference of the nose filler increased even more. What I liked most was that the change looked natural rather than overly obvious. Right now, it feels like things are staying in place without me having to worry about it, so I'm living comfortably. I plan to continue maintaining the before and after difference of the nose filler in a natural state without overdoing it.

I'm planning to get Botox soon, and I have a question because I usually take a lot of supplements. I am confused because some say to temporarily stop taking supplements like Omega-3, Vitamin E, and Ginkgo biloba extract before the procedure, while others say it is fine to continue taking them. I am also wondering if those taking painkillers or blood circulation medications need to make adjustments before getting Botox. Has anyone tried adjusting their supplements or medications before or after getting Botox?
담율로26.06.10Views 64Likes 1 A story about my experience of being curious about the changes before and after fillers and the maintenance process.[4]
As I started to become concerned about facial hollowness and an overall loss of volume, I naturally began looking into the before and after differences of fillers. Through the consultation and procedure, I came to experience a natural before-and-after difference with fillers that gradually settled over time rather than immediate changes. Currently, by paying attention to lifestyle habits and basic care, I am maintaining a natural-looking difference before and after the filler treatment without being excessive. At first, it started simply with the feeling that my face looked tired. However, as time passed, it seemed to lose volume compared to before, and there were more moments when it looked less vibrant overall. I became more self-conscious about how my nasolabial folds and cheek lines looked a bit sunken whenever I took photos, so I started looking into the before and after differences of fillers. After looking up various pieces of information, I found that even with the same procedure, the results vary quite significantly from person to person. I heard a lot of people say that the natural look varies depending on face shape, skin thickness, and original volume, so that actually made me hesitate even longer. So, in the end, I decided to seek counseling rather than trying to make a decision on my own. During the consultation, I was told that they don't just fill it in, but naturally adjust it by taking into account the overall facial proportions and movements. It was difficult to notice a big change right away because of the swelling, which was worse than expected. Rather, I felt a bit unfamiliar and awkward at first, so I even wondered if this was right. However, as time passed and the swelling subsided and the area began to settle, I started to see changes where my facial features became a little more refined. From then on, the difference before and after the filler gradually started to become visible. As a little more time passed, the difference felt in the photos became clearer. The parts that used to look dim depending on the angle or lighting now felt like they flowed smoothly throughout. It didn't feel like my face was becoming completely different, but rather closer to the feeling that the balance of my original face was naturally refined. So, I actually felt more satisfied with this natural change rather than an excessive one. There were also many reactions from those around me saying, “It looks better without being noticeable,” and “It looks natural.” As I heard those words, my satisfaction with the before and after difference of the filler gradually increased. I liked that the difference before and after the filler didn't feel drastic, so I could go about my daily life without any burden. Right now, I am managing my health by paying more attention to my lifestyle habits rather than undergoing any special additional procedures. As I notice how my face looks different depending on my sleep state or condition, I am also realizing the importance of maintenance. So, I came to think that the difference before and after fillers is not simply the result of the procedure, but a change that extends along with the overall balance of one's life. Currently, it is being maintained in a natural state without any difficulty, and I plan to continue maintaining a balance without going overboard.
블루베리26.06.09Views 66Likes 5 [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.

정재욱 원장26.06.08Views 119Likes 2 Volneumer 1-Month Review — Nasolabial folds have reduced and skin feels firmer (Before and After Comparison)[8]
I used to have a habit of worrying about the angle whenever I took photos because of my nasolabial folds, but lately, I think that has disappeared. It's been a month since I received the Volneumer. I can feel the changes becoming more distinct as a month passes. There were some changes even immediately after the procedure, but perhaps because collagen is forming? The shadows around my nasolabial folds have decreased, and my skin feels firmer overall. I used to worry for a long time that my smile looked deep, but now that line has softened a lot. The difference between Volneumer and fillers is that it works by stimulating your own collagen, so the results are natural and there is less worry about side effects. (That is exactly why I chose it..!) It isn't a dramatic, tight-fitting lift, but I think it works well for people with little facial fat or thin skin. There was almost no pain, it was quick, and overall, I think I had a good experience. Please take note if you are worried about your fate :)
로코초코26.06.04Views 116Likes 2 [Health Column] Orthodontic Extraction vs. Non-Extraction: Is Extraction Always Necessary? A Summary of Criteria, Pros, and Cons[3]
hello, Director Jo Byeong-ju of Shine Orthodontics no see. 👋 There are certain questions that people considering orthodontic treatment ask most frequently in the consultation room. 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

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 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 Review of satisfaction and before-and-after differences after UVB treatment for a skin rash
I have had symptoms of recurring red rashes on my skin for a long time. At first, I thought it was just hives or an allergy, but the itching was severe and the affected area kept getting wider. After getting tested at the hospital, I was diagnosed with pityriasis rosea. Since taking medication didn't make much difference, I underwent UVB treatment. I was worried at first because it was an unfamiliar treatment, but after it healed completely, I was very satisfied with the UVB procedure. Pityriasis rosea As the name suggests, it is a skin condition characterized by rose-colored red rashes appearing on the skin, with no clear cause. Symptoms include intense itching, a burning sensation, and easy swelling. I don't really know why I got it, and no one in my family has pityriasis rosea. I tried drug treatment for a while, but didn't see much effect. I received treatment at the dermatology department of a general hospital and underwent UVB therapy. UVB Simply put, UVB treatment is phototherapy, a laser treatment that exposes the skin to therapeutic ultraviolet rays. It is not a cosmetic laser like Ulthera or lifting lasers used at general dermatology clinics. It is a laser that uses sunlight, so its wavelength is different from that of cosmetic lasers. Since it is a laser used to treat inflammatory skin diseases, it is covered by insurance if you are diagnosed with the condition. Treatment process When you enter the treatment room, there is a large cylindrical UVB machine. It is a method where you go inside here and get exposed to ultraviolet rays. Change your clothes so that the area with pityriasis rosea is visible, apply baby lotion, and go into the machine. When you ring the call bell, a nurse comes, closes the machine door, and you receive the procedure. At first, I was a little scared thinking, "Exposing my body to UV rays?" When I actually received it, it didn't hurt; it just felt warm. Treatment was done twice a week, and the effects didn't appear immediately. 1st and 2nd rounds At first, I didn't really feel a difference before and after. I was told in advance that one or two treatments wouldn't be enough and that I needed to receive them consistently to see results and feel satisfied with the UVB, so I went to get treatments with patience. After about the 3rd or 4th session, the rash gradually faded and the itching also started to decrease. From that point on, my satisfaction with UVB definitely started to increase. In the past, my skin was blotchy and had severe red marks. It has improved a lot, even visually, while receiving treatment. So, starting from the 6th session, I also reduced the medication to just the morning dose. I also reduced the UVB treatment from twice a week to once a week. I received a total of 8 sessions, and the treatment is finished. At that time, the neck area was the worst. After the treatment, all the spots on my neck disappeared. Personally, I was very satisfied with the UVB treatment. The difference before and after~ It's completely healed. The really fortunate thing is that pityriasis rosea has no clear cause. It is a disease that can be completely cured if treated properly. Instead, it recurs frequently. So, I am still managing it now. I try to avoid the habit of scratching my skin or touching it with my hands as much as possible. I don't drink alcohol, either. At first, I was very worried because UVB itself was so unfamiliar to me. After actually receiving treatment, I understood why it is widely used for treating skin diseases. Especially for me, who found medication alone insufficient, it was very helpful, so my satisfaction with UVB is 100%. It used to recur every now and then, but since receiving UVB treatment, the rash has subsided, so I am very satisfied with the UVB. In fact, if you look up reviews, there are many comments saying that everyone was highly satisfied with the UVB. If you have been suffering from skin rashes or atopic dermatitis for a long time, I hope you try treatment and experience the satisfaction of UVB like I did.
OK26.05.11Views 116Likes 0 Is it true that nasolabial folds appear after orthodontic treatment?[4]
I often see reviews saying that nasolabial folds have deepened as facial fat is lost. Especially after tooth extraction orthodontics I'm a little worried because there's a lot of talk about my appearance changing. I do want to get braces, but I'm worried that it might make me look older than I am. I am curious if the difference in actual feel is significant.

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.

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.

릴리윤26.04.29Views 57Likes 2 I am sharing the before and after changes I personally experienced from under-eye fat repositioning.[1]
I started wondering about the before and after difference of under-eye fat repositioning because of my tired-looking appearance. I could definitely feel the difference before and after the lower eyelid fat repositioning in the changed appearance after the surgery. Currently, I am satisfied with the natural results and am maintaining the before and after difference of the under-eye fat repositioning. At first, I thought it was just dark circles, but as time went on, I became more concerned about the feeling that the area under my eyes was bulging out. It wasn't easily covered even with makeup, and I was stressed about looking tired and older whenever I took photos. As these concerns kept recurring, I naturally started looking into the before and after differences of under-eye fat repositioning. During the consultation, I was told that the method involves not simply removing fat, but also taking into account and refining sunken areas. During this process, I felt that it was similar to the direction I had expected, so my anticipation for the before and after difference of the under-eye fat repositioning grew. There was swelling and some bruising immediately after the surgery, but the recovery was more stable than I expected. After a few days, I felt my under-eye area becoming more defined, and the difference before and after the under-eye fat repositioning naturally began to appear. I was most satisfied, especially with the fact that I looked less tired than before when I looked in the mirror. Even without makeup, her impression looked much brighter, and I could feel the difference before and after the under-eye fat repositioning in the photos. My satisfaction increased as I heard people around me say that my impression had become softer. What I liked most was that it didn't feel like an overly drastic change, but rather a naturally refined transformation. Through this experience, I realized that even though the difference before and after lower eyelid fat repositioning may seem like a small change, it can have a significant impact on one's overall impression. Currently, with most of the swelling subsided, the before-and-after difference from the lower eyelid fat repositioning is being maintained. I plan to continue maintaining the current condition for a long time and manage the natural before-and-after difference of the under-eye fat repositioning.

I've been self-conscious about my uneven teeth for a while now, and I'm wondering if I should get braces even though it's late. 😥 Given my age, I'm worried that it might be too late, and I'm also curious if it will be effective. I'm also worried about how long the correction period will take and whether it will be noticeable while I'm working. I've heard that tooth extraction is often necessary for orthodontics, so I'd like to know if it's absolutely necessary. I heard I have to keep wearing a retainer after my orthodontic treatment is over, so I'm also worried about the maintenance part... I would be grateful if those of you who started at a similar age could honestly share your satisfaction, any inconveniences, and whether it was a choice you don't regret.

As I get older, I feel like my facial elasticity has dropped significantly, so I looked into lifting procedures and searched for various options. After looking up reviews, I saw many people saying that even though they have already had procedures like InMode and Titanium multiple times, the effects are becoming less noticeable over time. I was in a similar situation, so I ended up considering a thread lift. Actually, I kept putting off thread lifting because there were so many stories about pain and side effects. I searched online and saw reviews about side effects like dimples or hollowing, so I couldn't easily make a decision. Still, I thought it would be difficult to put it off any longer, so I made a reservation and visited. Counseling Process and Key Concerns After arriving at the hospital and having a consultation, I discussed my history of past procedures and organized my current concerns. The issues I felt were hollowing cheeks, sagging facial contours, drooping corners of the eyes, and an overall loss of elasticity. During the consultation, I was recommended a lower face thread lift focused on improving marionette lines, and I was told that the procedure would be performed by lifting the skin up to the sides of the cheekbones. I decided on the Mini Geukjin thread lift, which uses a total of 18 threads on both sides. Procedure progress and pain sensation After washing my face, I moved to the treatment room, had the design done first, and then received local anesthesia. The anesthetic injection was just a slight sting, and it wasn't as painful as I expected. After the anesthesia, I could feel the threads going in, but I felt almost no pain. I felt a pulling sensation starting from the ball and moving upward, and there was definitely a sensation of being pulled. The procedure took about 30 minutes and finished faster than I expected. Changes immediately after the procedure When I looked in the mirror right after the procedure, I could see that my cheeks had lifted immediately. I could definitely feel that the sagging parts were tightened, and the corners of my eyes also looked like they had lifted slightly. My mouth felt a bit awkward because the anesthesia was still lingering, and I could also see the stitches a little. Still, I could immediately see that it was lifted overall. Post-treatment care and side effects After the procedure, I took antibiotics for about 5 days and was also prescribed an ointment. On the first day, I couldn't open my mouth very wide, but from the next day onwards, I didn't have much trouble eating. There was almost no foreign body sensation or pain as I had feared, and I couldn't feel the threads when I touched it with my hand. I didn't see any side effects like dimples either. They say the effects of thread lifting become more apparent over time due to collagen formation! with Cash Review

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

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

Boyfriend's Deep Cheek Thread Lift Review — Including Double Chin and Mid-Face, Before & After Photos 2.5 Weeks
My boyfriend is naturally on the thin side, but he said he has been stressed for a long time because his double chin stands out and his sagging cheeks make his face look wide whenever he takes photos. I was also constantly bothered by the fact that when I slightly lowered my head, my jawline was obscured and the nasolabial folds looked sunken. Eventually, they decided to get counseling, so I went along. What I heard during the consultation left quite an impression on me. You mentioned that simply pulling the jawline has its limitations, and that the mid-face area must be designed as well to naturally refine the facial proportions. So, focusing on Mint threads, they designed the double chin, deep cheeks, and nasolabial fold lines together. You transparently explained from the beginning that the cost varies depending on the number of threads, and you honestly told us that the side effects would be limited to bruising or soreness, so my boyfriend was very relieved. I was listening right next to you, and the explanation was quite detailed, so I trusted it. They said they felt a bit of tightness right after the procedure. It didn't hurt, and since it was slightly swollen, it didn't look completely natural, but when I looked in the mirror, I was surprised myself to see that my double chin definitely looked lighter and my jawline was more defined haha. It's been about two and a half weeks now, and things are really different. It looks much more natural than before, and as the deep cheeks are tightened, the facial proportions look different. My nasolabial folds became less deeply indented when I smiled, making my impression softer, and it was also fascinating to see how firm my skin looked. He likes it the most because he says he doesn't have to worry about his jaw angle when taking photos haha. Watching from the side, I realized that the design direction is really important for facial lifting.

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

정재욱 원장26.03.30Views 255Likes 2 [Health Column] Do You Lose Weight When Getting Braces? A Fact Check on Braces and Dieting! ✨[12]
hello. Director Jae-wook Jeong of Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic no see. Patients who have started orthodontic treatment "Director, I think I've lost some weight since getting braces!" He often says that. This is because wearing braces actually drastically changes eating habits and food choices. Today, many people are curious about The Real Correlation Between Orthodontics and Dieting I will give you a clear and concise explanation about that! 1. Why do I lose weight during orthodontic treatment? ? 👋 The answer lies in 'changes in eating habits' and 'more diligent brushing habits'. Small meals caused by discomfort When you first wear the device, you will experience temporary discomfort when chewing, so you will look for soft foods such as porridge, tofu, and eggs. As you cut your food into small pieces and eat slowly, your portion size naturally decreases. Gluttony won over laziness Since brushing your teeth after meals is essential during orthodontic treatment, many people refrain from eating unnecessary snacks or junk food due to the inconvenience. 📌 A word from the Director! As these changes overlap, temporary weight loss may occur initially. 2. Conversely, are there cases where weight increases? ? 👋 Yes, if you mainly eat soft, high-calorie foods, you can actually gain weight. . The Trap of Softness If you look for foods that are easy to chew, there is a risk that you will frequently consume soft but high-calorie foods such as ice cream, bread, cake, and noodles. The Temptation of Liquid Sugars If you fill up on sugary drinks instead of meals because you find chewing bothersome, it actually leads to weight gain. Ultimately, weight change is determined by 'what kind of eating habits you adopt' rather than the corrective device itself. 3. How should I manage a healthy diet during orthodontic treatment? ? 👋 As this is a long-term battle that takes an average of over a year, balanced nutrition is key. . ✅ Avoid these foods. You should be careful as foods that are too hard or sticky can damage the device. ✅ Balanced nutrients Please make sure to eat a balanced diet of healthy foods such as protein, vegetables, and fruits. ✅ Caution regarding liquid sugars It is recommended to reduce the consumption of sugary drinks. ✅ Cleanliness is essential Please make sure to maintain thorough oral hygiene after meals. ❓ FAQ Q1. How long does it take to eat properly after starting braces? ? A1. Usually after installing the device About 3 to 5 days You may experience some pressure or discomfort, but please do not worry too much, as you will adapt quickly and be able to resume normal meals! Q2. Will I gain weight again after the braces are finished? ? A2. Correction itself is not a treatment for weight control. If you fail to maintain the healthy eating habits you established during treatment, your weight may change again. Q3. I've completely lost my appetite. Is this normal? ? A3. Yes, it is very normal! During the initial adaptation period, chewing may be uncomfortable, so your appetite may temporarily decrease, but it will naturally recover over time. 📝 conclusion Remember the real purpose of orthodontic treatment! While weight loss is possible due to changes in diet during orthodontic treatment, this You should not think of it as a means of dieting. The purpose of correction is Proper occlusion formation, restoration of oral function, long-term dental health It is located at. Therefore, it is important to guide changes in dietary habits during correction in a healthy direction.

정재욱 원장26.03.23Views 408Likes 4 Sharing my review of nose filler results and the definite before and after difference.[2]
I was curious about the effects of nose fillers, so I decided to get the procedure myself. Before the procedure, I was very concerned because my nose bridge was low and lacked dimension when viewed from the side. Now, the effects of the nose fillers are noticeably visible, so I am generally satisfied. I first started considering nose fillers because I felt my nose looked wide whenever I took photos. I was particularly self-conscious about it from the side rather than the front, and I felt that even applying makeup had its limits. So, while looking for a way to improve it naturally, I decided to get nose fillers. I was more nervous than I expected on the day of the procedure, but since anesthetic cream was applied, there was no significant pain. The nose filler procedure didn't take long, so it wasn't too burdensome. However, I did feel some pressure intermittently, and there was a slight stiffness. I could see the effects of the nose filler immediately after the procedure. My nose bridge definitely became more defined, and my whole face felt more sharp. Thanks to the nose filler, my satisfaction level has also increased significantly when taking selfies. As the swelling subsided after about a week, the nose filler settled in more naturally. I did hear people around me saying that something looked different, but since they couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, I was actually more satisfied. Now that about a month has passed, the effects of the nose filler are stably lasting, and I haven't experienced any major inconveniences. However, it is a bit disappointing that the results are not permanent. Nevertheless, considering that it allows for a simple change in my appearance, I think getting nose fillers was a sufficiently satisfying choice.
작작해26.03.18Views 105Likes 0 A real review of the before and after difference from receiving Ulthera firsthand.[4]
I was curious about the difference before and after Ultherapy, so I underwent the procedure myself and compared the changes. To start with the conclusion, the difference was more natural than I expected, but it was definitely noticeable, and I saw a difference particularly in my jawline and skin elasticity. If you are considering the before and after results of Ultherapy, I think my experience will be helpful. The reason I initially considered Ultherapy was because I felt my facial elasticity was gradually decreasing. Since my jawline looked blurry in every photo I took, I found myself constantly searching for reviews regarding the before-and-after results. After the consultation, I was told that the results could vary depending on individual skin conditions, so I proceeded with half anticipation and half worry. Immediately after the procedure, rather than feeling a dramatic difference, I only felt a slight tightening sensation. However, as time passed, the before-and-after results gradually became visible. In particular, my jawline became more defined, making my face look a bit sharper. Hearing people around me say that something had changed made me realize the difference even more. Of course, rather than a dramatic change, it feels like natural elasticity, so I think it would be a better fit for those who are hesitant about excessive procedures. Since the before and after results of Ultherapy appear gradually, I realized that consistent care is also important. Personally, I was satisfied with the before-and-after results of Ultherapy, and I would especially recommend it to those who want to see both skin elasticity and lifting effects simultaneously. If you are concerned about the before-and-after effects of Ultherapy, I think the most important thing is to have a thorough consultation and proceed according to your skin condition.

After hearing that I needed treatment for plantar fasciitis, I actually experienced the procedure and management methods. Since plantar fasciitis is a condition that causes pain in the soles of the feet, leaving it untreated for a long time can cause significant discomfort in daily life; I realized that it is important to know the treatment methods in advance and proceed accordingly. The treatment I received for plantar fasciitis involved a combination of customized stretching, physical therapy, and injection therapy when necessary, following a hospital consultation. At first, the pain was so severe that it was difficult even to walk, but as I started the treatment, I could feel the pain gradually subsiding. The hospital emphasized that stretching to strengthen the muscles and arch of the foot is important after treatment for plantar fasciitis. During the actual treatment process, combining plantar fasciitis treatment with weight distribution, wearing proper shoes, and rest management resulted in faster effects. Of course, results may vary from person to person, but I found that consistent treatment gradually reduced pain and lessened the strain when walking. For those struggling with plantar fasciitis like me, it is crucial to choose the right treatment method early on and maintain stretching and care habits even after treatment. Through my experience with plantar fasciitis treatment, I not only found pain relief but also developed an interest in overall foot health, allowing me to move much more comfortably in my daily life.

hello, Smile D Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. Among those considering orthodontic treatment Do I really need to get braces? , Is it okay to start now? There are many cases where people hesitate. There are visible concerns like crooked teeth or a protruding mouth, but In reality Oral health Ina Everyday inconveniences Therefore, there are quite a few cases where correction is necessary. In this column Orthodontics 4 Representative Recommended Cases Centered on, I will explain step-by-step what discomfort may arise and what changes can be expected through correction. 1. If you are concerned about a protruding mouth If your lips do not close comfortably and your mouth appears to protrude, you may consider correcting your protruding mouth. One of the main reasons many people hesitate to get braces is precisely this. protruding mouth no see. Protruding teeth can be caused by genetic factors, or by teeth moving forward due to habits such as thumb sucking during childhood. In this case, the lips do not close naturally You may unconsciously tense the area around your mouth, causing wrinkles to form on your chin or making your expression look somewhat blunt. If you move the teeth to the proper position through orthodontics Your lips close more comfortably, and your overall facial appearance may look more natural and refined. For example, if you are always self-conscious about your mouth shape when taking photos, If you feel uncomfortable keeping your mouth closed even when you are still, it may be worth getting it checked. 🔸 Reference Points On the surface, it may seem like a simple concern about "looking like your mouth is sticking out," but It is recommended to confirm the actual condition through a consultation, as the alignment of the teeth and the position of the lips must be considered together. 2. Cases where teeth are uneven or there is severe crowding. Malocclusion or crowded teeth can not only cause issues with appearance but also create blind spots during brushing, which can affect oral health. uneven tooth alignment malocclusion Ina snaggletooth Is It is easy to think of it as merely a superficial issue, but in reality, correction is often recommended for health reasons.

A state where a gap forms between the upper and lower front teeth, preventing them from touching each other, even when the mouth is tightly closed. open bite It is called.

Restoring the bite of your front teeth through orthodontics can help you regain the ability to bite and chew food, and it can also help improve pronunciation. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than simply dismissing it by thinking, "My front teeth just don't quite touch," if you experience recurring discomfort during eating or pronunciation, it is advisable to have it checked from a functional perspective. 4. In cases of facial asymmetry where the facial center is misaligned If your facial midline is misaligned or appears crooked to one side, orthodontic treatment can be helpful. The facial midline does not align, or It looks twisted to one side Facial asymmetry It can also be a candidate for orthodontic treatment.

However, in many cases, orthodontic treatment alone can alleviate the degree of asymmetry and yield satisfactory results. If your mouth or jaw looks crooked to one side when you look in the mirror, If the center of your face always feels awkward in photos, you might want to check it at least once. 🔸 Reference Points Rather than viewing asymmetry simply as “is it because only one side is used more?”, An approach that examines the bite and the facial midline together is necessary. FAQ Q1. How long does orthodontic treatment take? A1. It depends on the condition, but for a short period 4~6 months , usually One and a half to two years or more It takes time.

오수환 원장26.03.17Views 182Likes 4 [Review] Honest Review of 18 Thread Lifts Near Sinsa Station (Before and After/Pain/Swelling)
Lately, whenever I look in the mirror, I feel like my mid-face is sagging and my face is becoming more square, so I'm really stressed out... In the end, I went to Shinsa Station Dermatology Clinic and got a thread lifting done!! I'm leaving this here to share information in case there are others who are worried about wrinkles or deep wrinkles like me. 📍 Location & Hospital Atmosphere Location: 5 minutes from Exit 8 of Sinsa Station. Easy to find as it's on a main road. Atmosphere: White tones with soft lighting. It's clean and doesn't feel like a hospital at all. Each consultation room is separate, providing privacy. 💬 Consultation Process (18 rooms to be decided) The director is really thorough. While looking in the mirror, he pointed out the direction of my facial muscles and the cause of my sagging. We decided to put in 16 lifting rooms + 2 volume rooms = 18 in total. I actually trusted them because they told me honestly about the maintenance period and side effects (dimples, swelling, etc.). 🤔 What is the pain and feeling of the procedure after thread lifting? No general anesthesia, no incision To be honest, I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but the nurses were so kind that I held on. The director will carefully review the design before the procedure. The procedure took about 30-40 minutes? It was over faster than I thought, so I said, "Already?" 📸 Immediately after treatment vs. changes after one week On the day: There is some swelling around the cheekbones due to the anesthesia solution. But you can immediately see that the jawline has become a V-line. One week later: The swelling has completely subsided. The most satisfying part is the smoothing of my nasolabial folds. The midface lift makes my face look shorter and more elastic. ⚠️ Post-treatment care tips Medication: Take the prescribed medication for 5 days without fail (to prevent inflammation) Ointment: Apply ointment thoroughly to the wounded area starting 3 days later. Swelling: lifting band + Cold compress + pumpkin juice combination recommended. ✨ Overall Review Personally satisfied ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ There is no need to worry about scars because there is no incision, and you can go back to work the next day. Of course, there will be differences in dimples and pain for each person, but I am very satisfied with the lines being organized. We'll have to wait and see, but so far it seems like a huge success!
우주맘26.03.11Views 286Likes 1 Review of a threadlifting procedure: Mini-extreme treatment experience after worrying about nasolabial folds on the mid-face (before and after impressions)
While looking for reviews of facelifting, I realized that I was worried about sagging mid-face and nasolabial folds, so I decided to write a review to record my experience. These days, when I take pictures, it looks like the middle part of my face has sunk a little. I've had wrinkles on my arms since I was in my 20s, but I started to pay more attention to them recently after seeing a picture a friend took of me at a restaurant. So, I searched for thread lifting, looked up quite a few reviews, and made a reservation about a month in advance. The day I had made a reservation for finally came, so I went to the hospital near Sinsa Station. There were many hospitals nearby, so I thought about going by car, but I ended up going by car. There was parking in the building, so I left my car at the valet and went up. The hospital lobby was cleaner and more spacious than I expected, and I first filled out a chart and then had a consultation with the head of the counseling room. I told them that I was concerned about sagging mid-face and nasolabial folds, and they explained a lot of things to me during the consultation, but I was so nervous that I couldn't remember the exact names. I vaguely remember the term PDO dissolving thread. at last Mini-extreme surgery + arm volume thread lifting We decided to proceed with . After washing my face, I took a photo before the procedure, put my luggage in the locker, and went to the procedure floor. I couldn't take my cell phone with me, so I left it in the locker and went down. Before the procedure, I received laser treatment to relieve pain, and then had a consultation with the doctor to have a design made on my face. It was a little more painful than I thought when I was put under anesthesia. I think it hurt more because I was nervous. After the anesthesia was applied, the procedure itself was not particularly difficult. When I put in the volume thread on my forehead, I felt like my face was being pulled slightly, and it was a little uncomfortable. After the procedure, she showed me the mirror, and I could already see that my cheek line had risen a little. I was a little surprised because I saw changes more quickly than I expected. Afterwards, I received the regenerative laser treatment once more and was given an explanation of precautions. I also received a lifting band along with the prescription, and was told that the patch next to my ear would be removed after 2-3 days. I was instructed to apply the ointment for about 5 days. My friend who came with me said that it seemed like the ball had already risen, and I felt the same way. There is still a little bit of swelling, so we will have to wait and see if there are any changes. I heard there may be swelling for about 2-3 weeks, so I plan to continue taking pictures and record the changes.
뽀오 일기26.03.11Views 205Likes 1 The difference before and after laser hair removal is amazing. One-week review.[1]
This was my first time getting laser hair removal, and I'm impressed by the dramatic difference before and after. Hair growth has noticeably slowed down. I highly recommend laser hair removal, as the difference is so clear. I looked into several hospitals to get laser hair removal for the first time, but the prices varied greatly from hospital to hospital. I chose the cheapest hospital because the difference before and after laser hair removal did not seem to be proportional to the price. I paid around 200,000 won for five sessions, hoping to see a dramatic difference before and after laser hair removal, like those I know. Reservations can be made through the Naver Map app or by phone. I was instructed to shave briefly before my appointment. This will make a significant difference before and after laser hair removal. I wore the shorts or skirt provided by the clinic and lay down during the procedure. A narrow beam of laser light was focused on the entire leg, and my eyes were closed during the procedure. Perhaps because the cool air was blowing during the procedure, I felt no pain at all. I finished the 10-minute hair removal session without any major discomfort and returned to my normal clothes. Some hospitals may apply a soothing cream, but even without it, it's not overly uncomfortable. It's been about a week, and the difference between before and after laser hair removal is striking. Hair growth has slowed, and the new hair that grows back feels thinner. The difference in how clean your skin looks before and after laser hair removal is huge compared to waxing or shaving. It's such a simple and inexpensive procedure, and if the difference before and after laser hair removal is clear, I don't think there's any reason not to do it. If there is anyone who has not had laser hair removal, I highly recommend it! One thing that sticks out in my mind is this: Why is the dermatology clinic near Gangnam Station, which has much higher rent than my local dermatology clinic (in Seoul), so much cheaper? The interior is also much fancier. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. From now on, I plan to get even simple procedures done at clinics in busy commercial districts (due to the price). Even after a week, I am still satisfied, but I am really looking forward to seeing the difference before and after laser hair removal after completing the 5th session.
jd26.02.28Views 106Likes 0 Before and after changes after the Silaine E Triple Body Abdominal and Side Line Management[1]
Even though I exercise regularly, I was constantly stressed because the fat on my arms, back, and thighs didn't go away. I was running, doing Pilates, and lifting weights, and I was also doing a CrossFit diet challenge, so I wanted to try to get my lines in shape at the same time, so I searched and came across this site. Upon arrival at the hospital, you will be examined first rather than immediately consulted. After changing clothes, go to the examination room and do InBody + 3D body scan first. Afterwards, an ultrasound examination was performed. They checked the fat thickness and inflammation level with an ultrasound, and they explained that my abdominal fat thickness was 2.31cm and my inflammation level was 13.25, which is high since it is over 10. I felt convinced after hearing the explanation that if you repeat a diet multiple times, your inflammation levels may be high. knife After the ceremony, I had a consultation with the director. Focus on the abdomen and sides Decided to get Silane E + Triple Body treatment The treatment time was shorter than expected. It felt like it was over quickly, in about 10 minutes. And what was impressive was that there was a separate nutritional consultation time after the procedure. I received a dedicated nutritionist diet consultation. Detailed explanation of meal plan for each week I was able to receive feedback by sending my diet to the KakaoTalk nutrition channel, and it felt like they were able to smoothly adjust my diet, so I didn't feel burdened. As I progressed, I felt like I was being helped to achieve my goals, and I felt like I was being managed because they cheered me on. At the final inspection, InBody, 3D scan, and ultrasound are re-measured identically. InBody standard Weight 56.9 → 54.7 (-2.2kg) Muscle mass 22.7 → 23.5 (+0.8kg) Body fat mass 15.3 → 12.2 (-3.1kg) Body fat percentage 27% → 22.3% (-4.7%) I was also doing weight training The goal was to minimize muscle loss and reduce body fat, and the results showed a decrease in body fat. By ultrasound standards Abdominal fat thickness 2.31cm → 1.28cm Side measured from 1.75cm to 0.72cm I went to the gym almost every day and did aerobic exercise consistently while maintaining a balanced diet and exercise. When I wore the workout clothes, I felt a difference in my stomach and side lines, and I could feel the difference in the fit. Inflammation levels Confirmed that it has decreased from 13.25 to 4.5 The final step is to complete triple body management. The consultation process was very detailed and the doctor checked my condition continuously during the procedure, so I wasn't very nervous. I felt almost no pain on a personal level, and as I continued with exercise + diet + management, I felt a change that was centered around organizing my abdominal line. Currently, we are trying to maintain it. [with Cash Review]

I'll write down the difference in skin tone before and after laser toning.[3]
I really didn't realize the difference before and after laser toning would be this stark. At first, I was skeptical, but after experiencing it myself, the difference was more noticeable than I expected. My dull skin tone became noticeably brighter, and my faint freckles and blemishes gradually faded. Every time I looked in the mirror, I could feel the difference before and after laser toning, and it made me feel good. My biggest concern was that my skin tone was dark overall, with patches of pigmentation, making makeup look dull. Bright lighting, in particular, made my skin look blotchy, which was incredibly stressful. So, I opted for laser toning, known for its relatively milder effects, rather than a major procedure. Ultimately, I was able to truly appreciate the difference before and after laser toning. The first session honestly didn't feel dramatic, but I did feel like my skin had cleared up a bit. However, after the third session, I started to see a noticeable difference. People around me started telling me my skin tone had brightened, and makeup applied much better. From then on, every time I looked in the mirror, I could clearly see the difference. What I was particularly pleased with was the evenness of my skin tone. Previously, the dark spots that had remained were alleviated, leaving my skin feeling more even and smoother overall. I was also impressed by how consistently the difference between before and after laser toning became more pronounced. I think it's important to maintain your skin at regular intervals rather than just one or two sessions. Another thing I noticed was the importance of post-treatment care. By diligently applying sunscreen and focusing on moisturizing, I felt like the difference before and after laser toning lasted longer. Another advantage was that it wasn't too irritating, so it barely interfered with my daily life.

I had to undergo re-orthodontic treatment because my teeth shifted out of alignment again over time after my initial treatment. The result of two years of diligent correction Effects of tooth retreatment Overall, I was satisfied, but there were also practical difficulties, such as managing the maintenance device. Effects of tooth retreatment There were definitely advantages, but since it is a treatment with both pros and cons, I think it is important to consider it carefully before making a decision! I had braces a long time ago. After the orthodontic treatment was finished, even the retainers attached to the inside of my teeth were removed, but I later learned that most people continue to wear them. As time passed, my teeth started to look a bit uneven and began to shift again. Although it is said that teeth naturally move a little even after treatment, I think they moved much faster because I had a history of malocclusion. It might not be very noticeable to others, but I was constantly self-conscious whenever I looked in the mirror, and I felt even more stressed when taking photos. When I went to the dentist for a regular check-up, the dentist recommended re-orthodontics first, and since they said they could do it at a slightly lower cost, I underwent the procedure. This is a photo from the early stages of re-correction. The tooth on the right (left in the photo) hangs down long, while the tooth on the left (right in the photo) is higher. It is twisted into a diagonally tilted shape. I could tell that the alignment of my teeth was off by drawing lines. My orthodontic treatment period was quite long due to jaw joint problems and malocclusion. I even underwent orthodontic retreatment for a whopping two years! I consistently received treatment by visiting the dentist once a month. To be honest... Effects of tooth retreatment I hardly felt it until the middle. That is because orthodontic treatment isn't something that changes drastically in a short period of time. I didn't really realize it while I was getting braces, but as I compared the photos I took from time to time, I gradually Effects of tooth retreatment I felt it appearing around the latter half. The re-correction is now complete. Overall, looking at Effects of tooth retreatment I am quite satisfied with it. My teeth are aligned better than before, so they are now level! Compared to before, the teeth that used to go up have come down and become parallel. However, although the alignment of my teeth has improved significantly, realistically, it hasn't been 100% corrected, and I also developed a black triangle on my lower teeth. In reality, it is bigger and clearer than this. Also, this time I had an orthodontic retainer attached to the inside of my lower teeth, and tartar builds up easily on the retainer area and the black triangle, so sometimes I have to get scaling done twice a year. I think this is definitely something we have to accept. Still. Effects of tooth retreatment I think it was a good decision to do it again because it is good overall. There are likely many people considering retreatment due to misaligned teeth even after orthodontic treatment, and based on my actual experience... Effects of tooth retreatment It certainly exists, but it has its pros and cons. It takes a long time and requires maintenance, but I am satisfied that the stressful part has been improved. tooth middle-aged man correction effect I think it feels different depending on an individual's condition and expectations. I hope my post is helpful to those considering orthodontic retreatment.

hello, Smile Dental Clinic of Director Oh Su-hwan no see. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, you may have thought this at least once. “Should we lay the railroad?”, “Is expensive always better?” There are many types of devices, but explaining them is difficult, and the cost differences are even more confusing. We've selected only the most confusing points for those considering braces. , Let's organize it so that you can reduce unnecessary choices. 1. Which orthodontic devices should I avoid? ✨There are devices that may seem cheap, but can be a burden in the long run. Many people choose it because of the cost, but There are also devices that may increase discomfort during the treatment process. ⚠️ ✔️ Resin bracket At first, it is less noticeable because it is similar to the color of the teeth. Curry, coffee, etc. Discolors easily It can be Because the strength is weak, there is a possibility of the device wearing out or falling off. Treatment may take longer ✔️ General ligation bracket It is a method of tying wires with thin wires. The end of the wire pokes into my mouth It can cause injury High friction can slow down tooth movement → “If you choose based solely on the initial cost, the treatment process may become more difficult.” 2. Which is most important: cost, aesthetics, or speed? ✨Corrective devices vary depending on ‘my priorities’. Not every device is a good choice for everyone. I need to start by organizing the criteria I consider most important. 🔍 ✔️ If cost-effectiveness and performance are important to you? metal bracket A relatively inexpensive yet robust method You should take into account the obvious appearance ✔️ Want a treatment that doesn't leave any marks? Invisalign or Lingual correction Invisalign: Removable, Aesthetic Lingual braces: invisible, but cost and adaptation period must be considered. ✔️ Want quick treatment and less pain? Self-ligating brackets (Clippy, etc.) There is less friction, so teeth move relatively quickly. Less pain and fewer visits This is the preferred method for busy office workers. 3. What are the criteria for selecting a dental clinic that affect the outcome of orthodontic treatment? ✨What’s more important than the device is ‘who is providing the treatment.’ Even if it's the same device Your experience may vary depending on where and how you receive treatment. 🔸 Be sure to check during consultation At the dental clinic What device do you use the most? self-ligating device Whether to use When the device falls off Whether additional costs will be incurred 📌 Questions like these It serves as a criterion for assessing how much consideration is given to treatment efficiency and patient convenience. FAQ Q1. Do self-ligating brackets really shorten the treatment period? A1. Because there is less friction compared to general devices, in some cases the treatment period may be shortened. Q2. Can anyone get Invisalign? A2. While most are possible, bracket orthodontics may be more appropriate depending on the condition of your teeth. Adherence to the wear time is important. Q3. Are metal brackets cheaper because they are less effective? A3. No. While performance and precision are excellent, aesthetics may dictate preference. conclusion Orthodontic treatment is a process that can last from as little as one year to as long as two years or more. Rather than deciding based solely on price or surrounding reviews, It is important to choose the right one for your lifestyle and oral health. ✨ Rather than rushing blindly It is important to establish a treatment plan through sufficient consultation. It can make or break the outcome and your satisfaction.

오수환 원장26.02.10Views 153Likes 2 Hongdae Dermatology Portra Lifting Procedure and Before and After Records
I recently had a few beauty treatments and this is a review of the lifting procedure that I wanted to write about. As I was approaching my mid-30s, I felt like my skin was aging rapidly, and I was constantly worried about it. Then, I happened to be in the Hongdae area, so I made a reservation and visited. It wasn't hard to find because it was right near exit 8 of Hongik University Station. I arrived around 6 PM on a weekday after work, and since it was a reservation system, I was able to go in right away without waiting. Looking inside, I saw a lot of syringes, and I wondered if they were actually used for procedures. Consultation and skin condition check I went to the washroom and washed my face first. It was well equipped with things like a hair dryer and straightener. After washing my face, I received a 3D skin diagnosis, and I think the shooting took about a minute. The results were detailed into 48 items, and I consulted with the team leader based on that. Since things like wrinkles, pores, and skin tone are expressed in numbers, I listened more intently. I was also surprised to see what it would look like if I didn't take care of it... Even though I said I was taking care of it, wrinkles and pores were still a problem, so I decided to try Portra Lifting, which is called the second generation of titanium lifting. Portra Lifting Information (Consultation Content) Energy transfer by simultaneously examining four wavelengths The purpose is to reconstruct the retaining ligament and produce collagen. Less pain and virtually no downtime Improvement of double chin, sagging skin, fine wrinkles, etc. Recommended at least 3 times a month Procedure and pain My concerns were nasolabial folds and a double chin, but the team leader also pointed out the asymmetry of my jawline, so we decided to address that as well. Before starting the procedure, the director checked again, and the procedure took longer than expected. The pain is said to go down to -3 to -5 degrees due to the surface cooling function. Thanks to the cooling sensation, it was bearable and didn't hurt much. Progress record Immediately after the procedure When I looked in the mirror, I was surprised to see that my face had immediately felt lifted. When I took a picture with a regular camera, the nasolabial folds looked slightly lighter and my jawline looked more defined. There was a bit of gel on my nose, but I left it here to check the condition immediately afterward. Day 3 It seems like my face has become more elastic overall and the lifting effect is well maintained. Day 7 It's been about a week, and while the difference may not be dramatic in photos, I personally feel like the wrinkles around my nasolabial folds and double chin, areas I've been concerned about, have improved. My skin also feels firmer than before. The results and satisfaction of the procedure may vary from person to person, and it has only been about a week for me, so I think I will have to wait a little longer to see how the effects will last.

Satisfaction with children's orthodontic treatment is high at Yonsei Yaksok Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Paju.[2]
My child is currently undergoing orthodontic treatment at the clinic. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon is also very helpful and I'm very satisfied. The nurses are very kind, and the directors are incredibly attentive. It's always crowded, but they always try their best to accommodate my appointment, which I'm always grateful for. Parking is convenient. The waiting room is spacious and comfortable. They have a coffee machine, so having an Americano while waiting is a real treat. They also have an ice water purifier, which is a real treat in the summer. My child was very scared of orthodontic treatment, but now he's taking it very well. I'm so grateful to the female therapist who checked my cavities today for being so thorough, even explaining how to brush my teeth.

Anyone get acne before or after their period?[20]
Does anyone get acne before and after their period? I'm not the only one, right? I'm usually fine, but I occasionally get a little acne when I'm on my period. Are there any particularly good management methods? I'm not sure how to care for my acne-prone skin, but rather how to treat it when I'm on my period.
뭉게뭉게26.02.05Views 556Likes 6 At Miso Plan Dental Clinic in Gangnam-gu, orthodontic treatment is performed without any discomfort.[2]
My teeth are uneven overall, and my front teeth overlap when I smile, so I've been contemplating getting braces for a long time. At first, I was worried because I'd heard so many people say braces are painful and uncomfortable, but it actually turned out to be better than I expected. During my initial consultation, the therapist thoroughly explained my dental condition, the treatment period, and even the cost, which gave me confidence and helped me recommend the right treatment for my teeth. When I first got my braces, I felt a bit sore for a few days, but I quickly got used to the difficulty in chewing. Even during my frequent visits for adjustments, they always checked my condition thoroughly and addressed any discomfort immediately, which was reassuring. They also gave me detailed instructions on brushing and care methods, so I no longer had to worry about cavities.

I am satisfied with my child's orthodontic consultation at Yonsei Well Kids Dental Clinic in Namdong-gu.[1]
I visited the dentist for a consultation for orthodontic treatment. It was my child's first time, so he was nervous, and I had a lot of questions. However, the overall atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, from the moment he checked in to the treatment. Before the consultation, they thoroughly checked the current condition of my teeth through X-rays and intraoral photographs, and they explained the reasons for orthodontic treatment in a way my child could understand, which gave me confidence. The director didn't just prescribe a single orthodontic treatment method; instead, he compared and explained the available treatment options based on my child's growth stage. He was honest about the treatment period, how each stage would be performed, and any potential discomfort, which eased my stress. He also explained the costs and maintenance methods without reservation, which was even more satisfying. The consultation time was more generous than at other dental clinics, and the patient's level of care was strong, making me feel confident in entrusting my child to this clinic.

Review of a child's orthodontic consultation at Baegotgoun Dental Clinic in Siheung City[2]
I visited the dentist for my son's orthodontic consultation. It was my son's first time receiving orthodontic treatment, so I was a bit worried, but the overall atmosphere from the reception to the consultation was comfortable and reassuring. The dentist first took X-rays and intraoral photographs, then showed me the alignment of my teeth and the balance of my jaw on a screen and explained it to me. He calmly explained why orthodontic treatment was necessary and the benefits of starting now, at a level my son could relate to. The treatment was very helpful, as they provided detailed information on the differences between different types of orthodontic devices, their duration, and the step-by-step process. I especially trusted them because they didn't just recommend expensive treatments, but suggested practical options tailored to my child's dental condition. They also provided thorough aftercare instructions and precautions, which I felt I could manage at home. Thanks to their attentive care and friendly approach to explaining things from a parent's perspective, I felt like they were much more trustworthy than other dental clinics.

I'm worried about my teeth becoming spaced out after orthodontic treatment.[7]
It's been quite some time since I had braces. My teeth are very gapped The front teeth are also slightly apart. It's not noticeable when you talk normally. I guess I was worried because it was around the front teeth. It can be uncomfortable because a lot of food gets stuck between the teeth. Should I get it re-corrected? I'm worried because the cost and time are similar. Has anyone tried recalibration?
ssul011526.01.25Views 152Likes 2 Gangnam Station Dermatology Clinic's Clearcut Injection Review: Double Chin, Deep Cheek Fat, and Facial Fat Decomposition Changes Confirmed in Before-and-After Photos[2]
When your facial lines become blurry, hasn't everyone worried about this at least once? Every time you look in the mirror these days, you might think, “I’m not fat, but why does my face look dull?” I haven't really changed my weight, but the fat under my cheeks and next to my jawline is particularly prominent, and I'm constantly concerned about the fact that my face looks bigger every time I take a picture. What was most stressful was that my jawline looked sagging and like a double chin, especially when viewed from the side. So, I decided to try the fat-dissolving injections at Gangnam Station, especially the Clearcut injection, which is said to naturally improve facial lines. This was the thing I was most concerned about when looking into how to manage facial fat. Even liposuction is burdensome I don't like the treatment that makes me feel sick I hate it even more when the recovery period is long. But I hope the effect is clear Then I found out about the Clearcut injection. This type targets specific areas of fat and refines facial lines without excessive volume loss! Many reviews report relatively minimal swelling and bruising. I especially liked the explanation that it is suitable for areas that are difficult to lose weight through exercise or diet, such as the deep cheeks and the fat next to the jawline. The dermatologist I visited About 3 minutes walk from Gangnam Station Exit 11 It was. It was located in the heart of Gangnam Station, so it was easily accessible, and even though it was my first time there, it wasn't hard to find my way there. The interior was neat and had a calm atmosphere, and the waiting area was spacious, so even though it was my first visit, I didn't feel unnecessarily nervous. Above all, I remember feeling less burdened even before the consultation because the staff were so friendly. The consultation did not feel like a light process, but rather the doctor personally examined the condition of my face carefully. Facial fat layer thickness, fat distribution location, degree of muscle development, skin elasticity; Please check these one by one He said, “This person is the type whose impression would become much clearer if only this place was organized.” The part I was most worried about was Fat under the cheek, The area between the chin and double chin; These were just the two places, Rather than excessive treatment It is suitable to only organize the lines with a clear cut injection. He recommended that I do it. I decided to have the procedure done on the spot after hearing that the swelling and bruising would be relatively minimal. Clearcut Injection Procedure (Review) There was no special preparation before the procedure, and the injection site was simply disinfected and then the procedure began. Precise injections are administered to the affected area. The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes. Pain is minimal. Honestly, I was like, “Huh? It’s over already?” Even immediately after the procedure, there was almost no facial swelling or discomfort, and I was able to return to my daily life the same day. Condition on the first day after the procedure When I looked in the mirror right after the procedure, there was only very slight swelling. Swelling subsides within 3-4 hours. Bruising is minimal. Makeup and going out are permitted. If I didn't tell anyone that I had gotten the shot, no one around me would have known. Before the procedure The side of the face looks spread out Blurred line under the chin. It felt like my double chin was slightly exposed. After the procedure, the double chin line is noticeably smoothed / the jawline becomes more defined / the deep fat under the cheek is reduced Overall, I definitely felt a change in my impression, making my face look smaller. Timeline for experiencing the effects of Clearcut injections Immediately after the procedure: Natural rather than drastic changes Day 3-4: Feel the lines smoothing out as the swelling goes down. Week 1: My facial line feels noticeably cleaner. What I liked best was that it was almost impossible to tell that I had the procedure done, but it definitely made a difference in photos. If you recommend, People who gain weight but only gain face fat People who are always stressed out about their photos because of their double chin Those who find liposuction burdensome and are looking for a non-surgical method, or those who are considering facial fat dissolving injections at a dermatology clinic in Gangnam Station Conversely, for those who want to reduce the volume of their entire face and are only expecting immediate, dramatic changes, a slightly different procedure may be more suitable. Among the fat dissolving injections in Gangnam Station, if you want to naturally improve your jawline and double chin, the Clearcut injection is a highly satisfactory choice. If you were looking for a recommendation for a dermatology clinic near Gangnam Station, I hope this experience will be of some help in making your decision. [with Cash Review]

Review of the Clarecut Injection, a fat-dissolving injection in Gangnam Station: An honest account of the changes I personally experienced in 7 days, including before-and-after photos.[1]
A story from last summer... When summer comes, many people want to wear sleeveless tops and crop tops, but when they actually stand in front of the mirror, they get tired of choosing clothes because of the fat on their arms and waist. I was in exactly the same situation. Lately, I've been eating well and neglecting my exercise, so at some point, I started gaining weight, mainly in my upper body. In particular, I was more stressed because my arms and lower back didn't lose any weight no matter how much I exercised. So, with the mindset of “let’s quickly get my lines in order before summer,” I personally received the fat-dissolving injection, Claircut injection, at Gangnam Station and organized the before and after changes. There are so many types of fat dissolving injections and so many hospitals that it is not easy to choose just one. The three criteria I considered important were these. Accessibility that allows you to go right after work Reservation system without waiting Whether the treatment is designed directly by the director While looking for a hospital near Gangnam Station Line 2, I chose Clearcut Injection because it was only a 2-minute walk from the station, it was 100% reservation-only, and the director personally handled everything from consultation to treatment. From consultation to pre-procedure preparation – a more comfortable process than I expected. As soon as I arrived at the hospital, I was taken straight to the consultation room and there was no waiting time, which was really nice. This is my first time getting a fat dissolving injection, so I'm wondering, "Does it hurt?", "How long will the swelling last?", and "Does it interfere with my daily life?" I asked this question a lot, and I actually trusted you because you explained it realistically and without exaggeration. The change of clothes was done in a clean locker room, and before the procedure, I was in a cowardly mode for no reason… I also took some time to mentally prepare myself. Actual treatment process – 4 areas in total: upper arms + lower back The director personally carefully checked the line of the upper arms and lower back and designed the injection location. I am Both forearms Both backs I received treatment on a total of 4 areas. To be honest, I was a little scared before I saw the needle, but once I got it, it wasn't as painful as I thought. He kept asking me if I was okay and making sure I was comfortable, so I was able to relax a lot. Immediately after the procedure, only a small band is placed on the injection site and the procedure is complete. Immediate Post-Treatment Feelings & Care Tips On the day of the procedure, the area where the medication was injected will look slightly bulgy, but they said this is normal. ✔ Massage well to help absorption and line organization ✔ Avoid strenuous exercise, but light activity is OK. After going home and showering, I continued to massage as instructed. ✔ Before the Clearcut procedure The arms were bulging out along with the floating breasts, and the back of the waist definitely felt like fat was gathered in the upper body. The reason I was always nervous about wearing summer clothes… Day 3 Changes As the visible drug volume gradually disappeared, I began to feel the lines becoming clearer. A slight throbbing sensation, like muscle pain, when touched Not so much that it's inconvenient to live with Bruise on one arm → Treated with massage I felt the change in line in my lower back faster than in my upper arms. Day 7 Changes I was most satisfied at this point. ✔ The volume of fat on the back of the waist has been significantly reduced. The injection marks are barely visible. The bruises on the upper arms are also almost completely disappearing. Even when looking from the front, I could feel that my arm line had become slimmer than before, and I could hear people saying, “Huh? It looks a bit different.” The director said that the real effects will start to appear after 1-2 weeks, so I think that if I do it a few more times, I will definitely see a bigger difference. I personally am very satisfied with it, so I plan to do additional episodes. If you are considering getting a fat-dissolving injection at Gangnam Station, I think it is worth considering the Clarecut injection at least once. [with Cash Review]
밍베일26.01.23Views 170Likes 0 My teeth are still crooked after orthodontic treatment. Is it okay to get orthodontic treatment again?[15]
I had braces when I was young, but they say that even with braces, your teeth become crooked over time. So, my teeth also became very crooked after braces. In particular, the three lower teeth in the center moved to the left as if they were falling. I have a retainer attached to the inside of my teeth and wear it every night to sleep, but it still happened. The dentist also recommended re-orthodontic treatment. It doesn't seem like a commercial practice since it's the dental clinic I used to go to. Actually, I've been worried about my teeth for a while now. It seems like tartar builds up more often than before. But on the other hand, I'm worried about my gums. How does orthodontic treatment specifically affect the gums? Some say that gums are innate and have nothing to do with braces, while others say that they definitely become weaker. I'm not sure exactly how long it will take since I'm older than before, but the dentist said it would take a year, but it could take longer. I wonder if there's anyone who's ever tried proofreading twice. How are the teeth of those who have had braces maintained?
