    The consultation was very kind and helpful, so I decided to go ahead right after. On the first day, they put in the upper braces, and after two weeks, I had the lower braces completed as well! I completely trust the doctor's credentials and appearance. I believe they will continue to take good care of me!

    Ceramic Dental ClinicFacial contouring + orthodontics ♥ Non-surgical beauty correction

    I found out about the ceramic dental clinic through Cashwalk. I decided to get braces right away after a friendly consultation, and it all started immediately. Dr. Kim Seon-min was in charge of my treatment, and she was so eager to make my smile as beautiful and perfect as possible that she put even more effort into my treatment than I did. I initially expected the process to take two years, but my teeth moved faster than I anticipated, so it seems like I finished in about a year and a half! I should have done this sooner; I am completely satisfied ^^

    Hello Dental Clinic★Ceramic Braces 199 Dual Jaw Effect

    I had a lot of concerns because the distance was far. I was worried because my body was suffering and the costs were high. When I compared it to the dentist near my house, the price difference was so significant that I decided to go to Seoul, and I am very satisfied with my decision. I feel more confident with my beautiful teeth.

    They did a good job with the scaling and filling, but since I had braces, I thought I'd address any issues during my treatment. I ended up paying a lot for this additional treatment, but they didn't really fix the problem. When I went back for another visit, it was the same situation, so I decided to go back to my original orthodontist for treatment, which resolved the issue. Personally, I'm not too fond of Moa Dental's orthodontics, but other treatments were fine. It's a dental clinic that's quite well-known among people around me.

    I’m currently undergoing lower teeth braces treatment at Yeonsae Art Dental Clinic, so I wanted to share my review. From the very first consultation, they explained everything specifically for my dental condition without any unnecessary treatments, which made me feel confident. The braces process has been calm and steady, so I felt less anxious. They were very thorough when applying the braces, and they made adjustments right away for any discomfort, so it didn't really interfere with my daily life. What I especially liked was how carefully they provided the scaling service. Since I'm in braces, oral hygiene is really important, and they did it thoroughly without irritating my gums, which was refreshing. They also detailed how to take care of my teeth. Overall, the staff was friendly, the wait time wasn’t long, and it was a highly satisfactory dental clinic.

    I've had scaling done here, and it's a convenient clinic because I can easily coordinate my orthodontic treatment with my dentist, especially when it's time to extract teeth. Plus, they sell toothbrushes with various types of bristles, and I bought one to try out, and I really liked it.

    UnverifiedSeoul Barun Dental Orthodontics Clinic

    I visited for a consultation because my teeth are misaligned and my front teeth overlap slightly, based on a recommendation from a friend. During the first consultation, they explained my current dental condition using X-rays and photos, as well as the methods for correction, expected duration, and potential discomfort that might arise, which they explained relatively frankly. After attaching the braces, I did experience some foreign body sensation and pain initially, but I had been informed about it beforehand and wasn't too surprised. Each visit, they checked the progress of my braces and adjusted only what was necessary, so I didn't feel like I was getting unnecessary treatment. However, there were times when I had to wait even with an appointment, and due to the nature of braces, the consultation time sometimes felt short. There were periods when the pain persisted for a few days after wire changes, making daily life a bit uncomfortable. The costs aren’t the cheapest, but considering the overall management and progress, I felt that it was a relatively stable dental clinic for orthodontic treatment.

    UnverifiedTime Dental Orthodontics Clinic

    I’m very satisfied with the ongoing orthodontic treatment as my teeth gradually become more aligned through the pain and adjustment period. I had a tough time during the adjustment period, when the inside of my mouth was easily cut and it was hard to chew food properly for the first few days. But every time I go in for my monthly adjustment and can see with my own eyes how my teeth are gradually moving into place, I feel like I’m being rewarded for enduring the initial pain, and it feels worthwhile every time. Since I’m still wearing braces, food gets stuck frequently, and I have to brush my teeth carefully every time, which can be a bit of a hassle. Even so, I can clearly see the changes as my previously uneven teeth become straighter, giving me more confidence in my smile and making the shape of my mouth look more refined. It’s definitely worth it.

    UnverifiedYonsei Pediatric Dentistry Orthodontics Clinic

    This is a well-known orthodontic clinic near Byeongchon Academy. My child has an overbite, and it's been about a year since the first phase of treatment. We still have the second phase to go, but there's already a lot of improvement in their teeth. Since we're in the growth phase, we're currently trying to push the lower jaw forward and bring the upper jaw in. At first, my child had a tough time just wearing the braces, but now they've totally adapted and can take them off and put them on in no time. I hope we start the second phase soon so this tough time can be over. It's a popular place, so there's always a lot of people. Even with an appointment, the basic waiting time is over 30 minutes. Aside from that, I'm satisfied. The staff and doctors are all very kind.

    As my child entered adolescence, they became much more concerned about their appearance, and as a parent, I was also worried about their uneven teeth, so we visited a dental clinic for a consultation. It was a clinic recommended by someone I know, and I was very impressed at first because the facility was large and the nurses were extremely kind. They took photos, and the doctor gave us a detailed consultation, which helped answer all of our questions. The doctor explained that the problem wasn’t simply that the teeth were uneven—the jaw joint was also not in good condition, so orthodontic treatment was necessary. They explained the treatment direction and future plans in detail, and also gave us a thorough explanation of the costs, which made it convenient and helpful for us to plan ahead.

    I'm going here because of my child's dental alignment. In this local area, they talked about palatal expansion and referred me for orthodontics, so I came to First Won Dental Clinic. There's no over-treatment, and the detailed explanations are great. The friendly staff and clean hospital environment are really nice. I didn't go to a local clinic at that time and came here instead, and now without palatal expansion, my child's teeth are coming down properly and settling in place!! At first, I was able to easily make an appointment through Naver, and the location near Nowon Station is great. They have orthodontics and oral surgery together, so I liked that I wouldn't have to go to another clinic even if my child needs cavity treatment alongside orthodontics. I'm being monitored while having X-rays and photos taken, and just as the doctor said, the teeth are positioning well without orthodontics. Even though the doctor is from the orthodontics department, he said that having my child's teeth settle well without orthodontics is his top priority, which made me feel confident ^^

    Before starting my braces, I was really worried and concerned about the discomfort, but right from the consultation, they explained everything so kindly that it put my mind at ease. They gave me detailed information about my current dental condition, the whole process, and the duration, which made me feel confident in their care. Every month when I visit, they carefully check the changes in my teeth and promptly make adjustments for any discomfort, so I'm very satisfied with my experience. The staff is always cheerful and helpful, and they quickly assist with appointment changes, making everything more convenient. The clinic is also clean and the wait times aren't long, which is a plus. At first, when I got the braces on, it felt a bit awkward and hurt a little, but over time I got used to it, and I can see my teeth getting straighter, which makes me feel glad I decided to get braces. I would recommend this dentist to anyone considering orthodontics.

    I went in for scaling because I was worried about the discoloration on my teeth and tartar buildup! The atmosphere of the clinic was clean, and the staff guided me kindly, making it a comfortable experience. They explained the dos and don'ts before and after scaling in detail, which I appreciated, and it was less painful than I expected; they did it thoroughly. During the check-up, they also found a cavity and treated it right away, and they explained the current condition and the treatment method in an easy-to-understand way, which gave me peace of mind. The cavity treatment was done carefully, and it was completed without any discomfort. Thanks to that, my teeth feel a lot cleaner and fresher, which I'm very satisfied with. I think I’ll continue to visit regularly for check-ups and scaling. I believe that even those who are scared of the dentist can visit without any pressure!

    Looks like I'm going to be spending a lot of money all at once, haha. My youngest has finally started orthodontic treatment. When they were in elementary school, we were told to start then, but they said they wouldn't do it because it would hurt. Now they've started just before their first midterm exams in middle school. Their baby teeth came in extremely close together, and once they fell out, their permanent teeth started coming in very large. Their jaw is also quite narrow. When we had an orthodontic consultation when they were younger, we were told that at least four teeth might need to be extracted. But after another detailed examination this time, we decided to extract only two. We didn't hesitate much when choosing a dental clinic and went with Excellent Orthodontic Clinic, which is close to my workplace. A colleague recommended it because their child is receiving orthodontic treatment there and they said the staff are kind and very thorough. We've only just begun, but choosing the right clinic for proper orthodontic treatment over the next few years is the most important thing.

    My younger sibling was quite troubled because their front tooth was slightly chipped and didn't look nice. Every time they smiled, they covered their mouth with their hand and felt lacking in confidence. After some contemplation, we decided to receive treatment at Sky Dental Clinic. They placed a crown over the chipped area, and it turned out to look as natural as their own teeth. It was great to find that in cases of specific tooth breakage or fracture, we could resolve the issue by creating and placing a prosthesis to achieve an aesthetically pleasing appearance without the need for braces or extraction. Considering the structure of the teeth, the treatment was done in a natural and harmonious way, and I am really pleased with it. I wish we had done the treatment sooner.

3 frequently asked questions

  • I think my child's front teeth are protruding and spaced apart, so we might need orthodontics. Is there a consultation fee?

    Hello, this is Ceramic Dental Clinic. The period around the entrance to middle school is an excellent time to begin orthodontic treatment, as the speed of tooth movement is rapid and jaw growth is ongoing, allowing for efficient and predictable results. In particular, starting treatment early for issues such as protruding front teeth or gaps between teeth can help prevent secondary problems such as asymmetry or malocclusion. Our Ceramic Dental Clinic is operated by a board-certified orthodontist accredited by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, who provides personalized orthodontic treatment through 1:1 consultation, and we enhance long-term stability and satisfaction with a 10-year maintenance program after treatment. Thank you for your inquiry :)

  • Due to a traffic accident, my teeth have become misaligned, and the insurance company has provided a payment guarantee for orthodontic treatment. Is this possible?

    Hello.. I understand that you may have been very stressed both physically and mentally due to the car accident. If you provide the accident case number and the phone number of the insurance representative during your appointment, we can confirm and proceed with the treatment. Above all, please take good care of your health, and I hope to see you in good spirits.:)
