    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.

    My gums weren't in good shape, and as I got older, my teeth were not aligned properly. I got braces through a friend's recommendation, and I am very satisfied. It's really great not having to worry about it when talking to others. Thank you for your attention~~

    Today, I went to the dentist for my braces. As I entered the clinic, the smell of disinfectant made me a bit nervous. After checking in and waiting for a moment, I went into the treatment room. The doctor carefully checked my teeth again and closely examined if the braces fit well. It hurt a little when the wires were tightened, but thinking about my straightening teeth made it bearable. The hygienist also explained again how to brush my teeth and how to put on the rubber bands. After the treatment, I looked in the mirror and, although it felt a bit awkward, I became excited about how different I would look over time. On my way out, I made my next appointment and headed home. I was nervous, but they took good care of me.

    I suddenly started having bleeding from my gums and pain every time I brushed my teeth. I decided to wait a few days and used a very soft toothbrush instead, eating mostly with the other side of my mouth. Over a month passed, and the pain was still there which scared me, so I started looking for a dentist and went to Plus One Dental. I called ahead to make an appointment and saw the doctor at the scheduled time. It turned out that I had a small crack in one of my teeth. That was causing the pain, and the doctor treated it by filling in the cracked area with resin. Since then, the pain has gone away, and I was relieved it wasn’t a major treatment. The doctor was very attentive and did a great job with the treatment.

    I visited for a consultation and treatment for braces, and overall, I was very satisfied. At first, I had a lot of concerns about the duration of treatment, pain, and cost, but after they carefully checked my dental alignment and bite issues, they explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, which made me trust them. It wasn't a pushy environment where they just recommended treatment; instead, they calmly guided me on why braces are necessary, how the process works, and what to watch out for, which made me feel less burdened. The staff were friendly, and the clinic was kept clean, allowing me to receive treatment comfortably. I think it's a great place for people considering braces to get a consultation, and I was overall impressed by the attentive and reassuring care.

    In the past, I didn't take good care of my removable retainer for my front teeth that were corrected at another dental clinic, and they became crooked again. I heard I needed to get re-corrected, and it took me some time to decide, but I finally went for it. I hate dental treatments and they usually take such a long time, which is tough for me, but the doctor assured me that he would finish my correction as quickly as possible, and his sense of responsibility made my decision easier. To my surprise, the process went much more comfortably than I expected. There were times during my monthly visits that I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep. I was reluctant to get re-corrected because of the rubber bands, but it turned out that wearing them wasn't uncomfortable at all, and I adapted quickly. I can't believe I didn't do this treatment sooner. I'm very satisfied with the results of my correction.

    What I was most satisfied with during my orthodontic treatment was the systematic management from the examination to the treatment process. When I first visited, they conducted a thorough oral examination, took X-rays, and even took detailed pictures of my face and teeth. They explained my current dental state and bite issues in detail, which made it easy to understand. I decided to get braces because my front teeth were misaligned and food often got stuck. During the consultation, I received realistic advice about whether extractions were needed and the expected duration of the treatment, which built my trust in them. On the day the braces were attached, they started with a thorough cleaning of my teeth, and after installing the braces, they explained the wire adjustments, how to care for the braces, and how to brush my teeth step by step. They specifically showed me how to use an orthodontic toothbrush and interdental brushes, which was very helpful for someone new to this. In the early stages of treatment, I felt some tension in my teeth, making it a bit uncomfortable to eat, but they had informed me about this in advance, so I wasn’t too worried. Every time I visited for check-ups, they would examine how my teeth were moving, change the wires, or adjust the braces as needed, checking any uncomfortable areas immediately with great attention to detail. Even when the braces irritated my mouth or if a wire poked out, they responded quickly, so I definitely felt like I was being looked after. They always explained my condition before and after treatment and provided detailed updates on the process, which helped me feel reassured during my visits. The clinic was overall kept very clean, and the appointment system was efficient, so I didn't have to wait long, which I appreciated. I also liked that during the treatment process, they didn’t pressure me with unnecessary procedures and explained everything based on my current state. As I started to see visible changes in my teeth after the treatment progressed, my satisfaction level increased even more.

    I visited the dentist for orthodontic treatment. After a long time of worrying, I finally made the decision to go, and first, they did a detailed examination to thoroughly check the condition of my teeth, followed by an in-depth consultation with the doctor about the future treatment plan. When I first got the braces, it wasn't as painful as I expected, just a bit awkward. But as time went on and my teeth started to move, I experienced some persistent soreness for a few days, making it a little tough to chew food. Still, I paid extra attention to brushing my teeth and focused on taking care, and I was able to adapt pretty quickly. The process might be long and somewhat uncomfortable, but I'm looking forward to the straighter teeth and a healthy smile that will come with time, so I'm determined to stick with the treatment.

    I went because my teeth were very sensitive every time I brushed. The doctor was really kind and paid careful attention to my symptoms. As I get older, the enamel wears down, which causes that sensitivity, so I was advised to brush a bit more gently. I also had scaling done, and the way they did it was gentle, with less bleeding compared to other dental clinics. The facilities were comfortable like a café, and it's easily accessible, so I recommend it.

    The director and dental hygienists are always so honest and never push unnecessary treatments, so I go in regularly for dental scaling. They explain the condition of my teeth in great detail and with complete transparency while looking at the X-ray films, which always puts me at ease. Using the parking tower can be a little inconvenient, but the inside is very clean and appointment management is handled so thoroughly that the whole experience is comfortable.

    UnverifiedIU Dental Orthodontics Clinic

    We had been very worried about orthodontic treatment for our middle-school-aged child, so we visited several orthodontic clinics around Samsan-dong for consultations. Among them, IU Dental Clinic in Samsan-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan felt the most trustworthy, so we made our final decision and finally started treatment. The director carefully explained our child’s current tooth alignment and the treatment process ahead in a way that was easy to understand and suited to our child’s level. As a result, our child was able to receive treatment comfortably without feeling nervous. The staff were also kind and helpful with every question, which put us at ease from our very first visit. Since our child is in middle school, fitting regular appointments around the weekday academy schedule was a concern. Being able to receive treatment on holidays is a huge advantage for parents because we can visit on weekends or holidays without feeling rushed. The facilities are also clean and give the impression of being well organized and systematically managed, so I feel we can entrust them with the rest of the orthodontic treatment with peace of mind. I would recommend this clinic to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

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.:)
