    Gangnam Saero Dental ClinicFast partial correction in just 4 months

    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.

    I visited the dental clinic for my son's orthodontic consultation. Since this was his first orthodontic treatment, I had many worries, but the overall atmosphere from registration to consultation was so calming that I felt reassured. The doctor first conducted X-rays and oral imaging and then explained the alignment of the teeth and jaw balance using the screen. They talked calmly at my son’s level, explaining why orthodontics are necessary and what the benefits of starting now would be, making it easy for him to understand. They offered detailed information about different types of orthodontic devices, duration, and the step-by-step process, which was very helpful in making a decision. They didn’t push expensive treatments but suggested realistic options suited to my son's dental condition, which gave me strong trust in them. They also thoroughly informed me about care methods and precautions after treatment, making it seem manageable at home. Thanks to their thoughtful care for the child and the kindness in explaining things from a parent’s perspective, I felt that this clinic was much more trustworthy than others.

    It's already been 6 months since I started my braces! At first, wearing them was really painful and eating was such a hassle that I thought, 'Was this a mistake?' But now, six months in, I've completely adjusted. These days, I enjoy checking out my teeth in the mirror as they slowly find their correct positions. I'm really pleased to see my once-crooked teeth and irregular alignment noticeably getting sorted out! The few days right after my monthly treatment still leave me a bit sore, but watching the changes makes it much more bearable. It's still a hassle dealing with food getting stuck, so I'm living with my interdental brush and water flosser, but seeing the newly aligned teeth definitely makes it all worth it. I recommend anyone who's hesitant to start as soon as possible! I'm really looking forward to the smile that's going to be finished in two years.

    I had braces before, but over time, my lower teeth started to shift a little. It was bothering me, so after thinking it over, I decided to get a partial re-correction for just my lower teeth at Sae Ich Dental Clinic. It ended up taking a bit longer than I expected, and honestly, wearing the braces again during meals and daily life was tough and exhausting. However, every time I went in, the doctor and the staff were so kind and thorough that I was able to trust the process and stick with it. Once the braces were finally taken off, my lower teeth were perfectly straight, and I feel truly satisfied every time I look in the mirror. The process was tough, but seeing my teeth so evenly aligned makes all the struggles fade away, and I feel a sense of accomplishment for getting the treatment. It ended cleanly without any side effects, and I feel really refreshed!

    I’ve been visiting several Dental Clinics for consultations while looking into Orthodontics for my child. Although we received many recommendations from people around us, I felt more reassured after going in person, so I visited with my child and listened to the explanation. Since my child is still in middle school, I had a lot of concerns, but this clinic had good reviews, and after listening to the explanations, I felt that it was a trustworthy place, so we decided to receive orthodontic treatment here. The Dental Clinic has spacious facilities inside, and looking at the doctor’s credentials, it seemed that they had experience with a variety of procedures. They were kind and explained everything about the patient’s questions in an easy-to-understand way, which I appreciated.

    I visited the IU Dental Clinic to start my orthodontic treatment. It was my first time, so I was quite nervous, but from registration to consultation to treatment, everyone was really kind, which made me feel at ease during the consultation. They explained the orthodontic process and treatment plan in detail and in an understandable way, which made me trust them. They answered all my questions with care, which put my mind at ease. The atmosphere of the clinic was clean and comfortable, so the waiting time was not uncomfortable. Above all, the service was really great, making it a place where even first-time visitors can receive treatment without any burden. I was impressed by how attentive the medical staff were, and I feel I can trust them with my orthodontic treatment in the future. I recommend IU Dental Clinic to anyone considering braces.

    I developed an interest in orthodontics even as an adult, so I went here... It’s quite famous in the neighborhood, and I heard there are specialists. I made an appointment, but I had to wait a long time... That made me feel like this place is really respected... Before the consultation, I had X-rays taken and a lot of photos, and after quite a wait, I finally met with the doctor. Being older, I wanted to be careful and asked a lot of questions, and the detailed explanations were really helpful. I also went back to ask the nurse for clarification on a few things. I had a good consultation and left planning to think things over before I come back.

    I visited for the first time because one of my teeth was broken, and unlike what I had worried about, the doctors calmly explained everything to me, which put my mind at ease. After the examination, they clearly explained the condition of my broken tooth and the treatment options, and I'm also undergoing orthodontic treatment. They detailed the potential discomforts and things to watch out for during the treatment, which made me feel confident about my care. Additionally, they found a part with a cavity early on and were able to treat it right away. I appreciate that they were careful to ensure it didn’t hurt during that process. The dental hygienists are particularly kind and always greet me with a smile, making my visits to the clinic stress-free. They also thoroughly explained the importance of proper brushing techniques and oral care during orthodontic treatment, so I’ve been much more diligent with my dental care than before. I’d definitely recommend this clinic as a student-friendly place to go for dental care! 💚

    This is a review after visiting for scaling and orthodontic examination. After making an appointment to visit, I didn’t have to wait long, and the calm atmosphere of the clinic eased my nerves. The scaling was done thoroughly, and they made sure to check if I felt any discomfort throughout, making it a comfortable experience. The orthodontic examination was also explained in detail, and they honestly told me whether I needed to start treatment right away or if it could be considered in the future, which made me trust them. I appreciated that they provided advice tailored to my dental condition without unnecessarily pressuring me. Also, being located on the first floor of a shopping mall is convenient as I didn’t have to find separate parking; it was easy to park. It’s a great place to visit after shopping for groceries as the accessibility is good. The fact that they also provide services on Sundays and the ease of parking makes me want to visit again.

    I once had scaling and orthodontic consultation at the dentist. I thought I was doing a great job brushing my teeth, but when I actually went in, they said I had quite a bit of tartar build-up. They started with the scaling, and while I felt a bit of sensitivity here and there, it was bearable. As they worked, the dental hygienist explained what was happening, which made it easy to understand, and when it was all done, I definitely felt my teeth were much cleaner. After that, I had the orthodontic consultation, where they calmly explained why I might need braces, looking at the alignment of my teeth and my jaw. They focused more on the options rather than pushing for immediate action, so there was no pressure, and I appreciated that they were honest about the costs and timeline. I didn't make a decision right then and there, but it really helped me understand the state of my teeth. It was a dental office I had visited before, and overall, the atmosphere was comfortable, and I remember being satisfied with getting both the scaling and consultation done in one visit.

    I visited for orthodontic treatment, and the doctor and nurses were all so kind that I felt comfortable during the consultation. I’ve been to some unfriendly clinics, as well as dental clinics that charged consultation fees without even providing a proper consultation, so I really appreciated the kind explanations at Yeo In-ho Dental Clinic. After my consultation, I started orthodontic treatment, and since I’ll need to keep visiting the clinic for regular checkups and treatment, I feel like I made the right choice by choosing a place where I feel comfortable. The treatment hours vary depending on the day, but I like that they stay open late on certain days for people who work. Also, if I experience pain or discomfort late at night while undergoing orthodontic treatment, I can visit during the evening consultation hours, which I think is really convenient.

    I’ve been going to this dental clinic for the past two years for orthodontic treatment, and all the doctors and nurses are so kind and thorough!! I originally had pretty severe crowding on both sides of my upper teeth, and my lower teeth were fanned out, but they’ve become much straighter. Right now, I’m getting treatment to upright a molar that was lying sideways. When I first started orthodontic treatment, I debated whether to get metal braces or Invisalign, but I chose Invisalign. It’s barely noticeable that I’m having orthodontic treatment, and since the pain hasn’t been too bad for me, I feel like I made the right choice. However, you do have to clean your Invisalign every day and take the aligners out before meals, which can be a bit of a hassle, so you should keep that in mind!!

    I’ve been going to this dental clinic for the past two years for orthodontic treatment, and all the doctors and nurses are kind and very thorough!! I used to have severe overlapping canine teeth on both sides of my upper teeth, and my lower teeth were spread out in a fan shape, but they’ve become much straighter. Right now, I’m getting treatment to straighten an impacted molar that was lying sideways. When I first started orthodontic treatment, I debated between metal braces and Invisalign, but I chose Invisalign. It’s hardly noticeable that I’m undergoing orthodontic treatment, and since I haven’t experienced much pain, I feel like I made the right choice. However, there is the inconvenience of cleaning the Invisalign every day and taking the aligners out before meals, so you should keep that in mind!!

    I had a consultation because of my kids' orthodontics. Are there two buildings for the hospital? The front building mainly handles treatment, and the back building seems to focus on consultations and checking the status for treatment? I heard rumors that it was expensive, but it doesn't seem that way to me. I had the consultation and I'm still thinking about it.

    I was referred by an acquaintance for my child’s orthodontic treatment and made an appointment. They also told me that there’s a dental clinic nearby that’s well known for prosthetic dentistry and for removing wisdom teeth well, which would be convenient during orthodontic treatment. It’s also close to the subway station and bus stop. There were a lot of people when I visited, probably because it happened to be an evening clinic day. Even so, the clinic’s system seemed well organized, so the wait wasn’t as long as I expected. The dentist showed us my child’s teeth and jaw structure in 3D and carefully explained the expected orthodontic process step by step. During the consultation that followed, they explained everything kindly and in an easy-to-understand way, so it was easy to follow. Many dental clinics charge a monthly management fee in addition to the orthodontic treatment cost, but this clinic doesn’t, which makes it feel less burdensome and more trustworthy.

    I went for a consultation for my child's braces to straighten their teeth. I heard that the results of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the skill and expertise of the medical staff, so I checked out several places. I chose this one because I thought the doctor could create a personalized treatment plan through a thorough examination. They were very kind, and the equipment and systems seemed well-established.

    I haven't been undergoing treatment for facial asymmetry for very long, but I've recently started to notice visible changes in my teeth, as they're actually moving. Especially when I look in the mirror or take photos, I can feel a subtle shift in alignment, making me really aware of the corrective effects. Right now, I'm at the stage where only some teeth have brackets and I'm wearing rubber bands, but the initial discomfort I felt has greatly reduced over time. Above all, the dental hygienists helping with my treatment have always been kind in explaining everything and attentive to my needs, which made things less stressful for me. I've gotten so used to wearing the rubber bands that it feels odd now when I don’t. Although I’m not in a major transformation phase yet, I’m satisfied with the gradual changes I see and I'm looking forward to what’s to come.

    I've had crooked teeth for a long time, which made brushing uncomfortable and I often felt like food was getting stuck, so I decided to get a consultation for orthodontics. At the clinic, they first conducted an oral examination, followed by taking dental photos, a panoramic X-ray, and checking my bite step by step. They explained that my teeth were misaligned due to a lack of space in certain areas, and they provided detailed information about the correction plan and expected duration. Before starting the treatment, they checked the condition of my gums and any cavities, and after managing tartar, they attached the braces. When they were putting on the brackets, they dried each tooth and applied the adhesive, which took longer than I expected because they were so thorough. After the wires were connected, I felt some tightness and discomfort in my mouth, but the medical staff reassured me it was part of the adjustment process, which made me feel better. In the beginning, I especially noticed a change in the chewing pressure on my molars, so I avoided tough or hard foods while eating. The clinic provided detailed information about which foods to avoid during orthodontic treatment, how to care for the areas around the appliance, and how to use the orthodontic toothbrush, so I paid special attention to maintaining my teeth at home. During each regular visit, they replaced the wires and adjusted the tension; on the day of the adjustment, I felt like my teeth were being pressed, but after a few days, I got used to it naturally. After a few months, I could visibly see that the previously misaligned side profile was gradually getting straighter, and brushing felt much more comfortable than before. I was worried about the length of the treatment, but once I started, I realized it wasn't just about the external changes—this experience helped me understand the importance of dental care and improving my bite.

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.:)
