Orthodontics effects, reviews, and prices

My periodontitis reached its worst point early last year, partly because I had orthodontic treatment about 10 years ago and had neglected my dental care while busy with work and everyday life. Around that time, I was under an incredible amount of work-related stress, so my condition worsened acutely. My gums hurt so much that I could barely eat, and every clinic I visited kept recommending extraction and Dental Implants one after another! I was depressed at the thought of losing my natural teeth one by one when I wasn't even 50 yet, and the cost of Dental Implants was also a burden. After an intense search, I learned about the treatment philosophy and approach of the director of Pangyo Choi Yong-hoon Dental Clinic, who believes in saving natural teeth and does not perform Dental Implants. I had my first appointment last September and have been regularly receiving gum regeneration injections and sterilization care. After about eight months, I had imaging done of my teeth and alveolar bone, and both the director and I were surprised to see that things had actually improved compared with last year. I am so grateful to the director for believing in and encouraging the survival and regenerative power of natural teeth, and to the dental hygienist who always takes care of me.

Finally, my long journey with braces has come to an end, and I'm so satisfied with the results—they exceeded my expectations! I had a lot of doubts when choosing a dental clinic, but here, the doctor thoroughly analyzed my dental condition during the consultation and proposed the most suitable plan, which made me feel confident. Every time I had an appointment, the doctor carefully checked for any discomfort, and the staff were always so friendly that it made each visit pleasant. Every time I look in the mirror and see my straightened teeth, I can't help but think I should have done this sooner. People around me have been complimenting me, saying my appearance looks much cleaner now. I sincerely recommend this orthodontic clinic to anyone looking for skilled and meticulous care!

I had molar pain, but I kept putting off going to the dentist because I was afraid of dental treatment. After getting treated at this dental clinic, my fear of the dentist is gone.

I started having pain and wear in my front teeth at some point, so I decided to visit. The doctor was very kind, and the staff at the front desk were also incredibly friendly. I visited around 9 a.m., and there were a lot of patients. I could see why so many patients come here. I need additional treatment and a root canal, so I’ll probably keep coming here. They didn’t recommend any unnecessary treatment, and I’m so grateful that they treated me so carefully and without causing pain. I also had an additional scaling done. Since my teeth are in poor condition, I think I need to brush them even more thoroughly. If you’re looking for a dental clinic, I highly, highly recommend this place. Since there are a lot of patients, be sure to make a reservation—reservations are a must.

After thinking about orthodontic treatment for a really long time, I finally started Invisalignㅎㅎ I'm in my late 20s and getting married soon, so I was worried that my teeth would really bother me when taking bridal photosㅠ I had considered traditional metal braces too, but since I meet a lot of people for work, I looked into options that would be less noticeable and ended up having an Invisalign consultation. I live around Suwon, so I mainly looked for places that weren't too far from either my home or office. It's hard for me to make time during weekday afternoons, so I also checked whether they offered evening appointments. Being able to go straight there after work was more important than I expected. I also usually drive, so parking was something I paid attention to, and the parking lot was spacious and convenient. Since it's located along a main road, it was easy enough to find by car too. Once you actually start orthodontic treatment, you have to go in for checkups from time to time, so things like the location, appointment hours, and parking seem to matter quite a lot. I had consultations at a few places, but I especially remember my consultation with Dr. Baek Won-kyung. Rather than just listing the pros and cons of metal braces and Invisalign, the doctor explained what would be possible for my teeth and what kind of treatment timeline I could expect, which made it easier to understand. They also showed me actual cases, which was helpful since I knew practically nothing about it. When I first put the aligners in, talking felt more awkward than I expected, and I was bothered by the parts that touched my mouth, so it was a little uncomfortable for a few days. I went back once during the process, and they checked everything and adjusted them right away, after which it felt much better. It's still too early to talk about the results since I'm still in treatment, but so far I've been going through it without any major discomfort. Preparing for my wedding while also getting orthodontic treatment means there are a lot of things to think about, but I do feel that it was a good decision to start earlyㅎㅎ

After giving birth, I was really worried because my gums became very weak. I had severe gum pain, often my gums felt loose, and I frequently bled while brushing my teeth. What worried me the most was that with my gums feeling loose, I felt like two of my molars were slightly shaking, which scared me. My friends praised a dental clinic for their good treatment, so I made an appointment and went for a check-up. The doctor carefully examined the panoramic X-ray and told me that my gums were severely inflamed and swollen, so we decided to do four treatments for my gums. The doctor provided detailed explanations and checked the condition of each tooth, and was so kind. My husband and I are very satisfied. We're planning to have all our children's orthodontic treatments done here. The doctor takes meticulous care during the treatment. Good job!

Procedure Received: Teeth Correction Doctor in Charge: Park Young-seung Pain and Recovery Period: Pain level is moderate to severe. I heard that the recovery period could take between 1 to 2 years. Since I had 5 implants placed, the treatment period ended up being that much longer. I underwent the implant procedure along with a bone graft. And I also decided to go for professional whitening. I drink a lot of coffee and vitamin drinks, so my teeth have yellowed and I decided to address that. Dr. Park Young-seung provided explanations that were easy to understand and was very kind, and the staff were generally friendly. Above all, on Tuesdays, they provide evening appointments, so I could always get treated without any burden after work. It's a dental clinic that's well-known in the neighborhood, so there are many patients. Thank you.

My child's front tooth was wobbly but wasn't coming out, so we visited the dentist. I initially intended to just have the front tooth removed, but the doctor also checked the overall condition of my child's teeth, which was a huge relief. I was worried because my child is quite timid, but the doctor kindly showed each tool before the procedure and explained how things would happen, approaching my child slowly so they wouldn't be scared, which I really appreciated. The front tooth removal was done with a little anesthesia cream and then gently wiggling it out, and I was amazed that my child hardly felt any pain and it was over quickly. The doctor pointed out that food often gets stuck between the teeth, which can make maintenance challenging, and provided detailed guidance on future orthodontic timing and the process of teeth exchange, which truly instilled trust from a parent's perspective. Other dental clinics often just take a quick look and say it's fine, but here they considered my child's personality and dental growth stage, which was the best part. After the treatment, they even gave my child a praise sticker and created a relaxing atmosphere, which significantly reduced my child's fear of the dentist. Overall, I was very satisfied with the treatment.

I took my 6th grade daughter to Dr. Son's dental clinic for treatment. She had lost a baby tooth, but I was worried because I could see an abnormally positioned tooth nearby, so we decided to visit. From the consultation, they tailored everything to my daughter's level, which made a great first impression and built trust. They clearly showed us the position of the misaligned tooth and the condition of the surrounding teeth through X-rays and oral imaging, and calmly explained why removal was necessary and why we should have an orthodontic consultation now. I was worried that the removal of the misaligned tooth would scare my daughter, but the doctor took the time to explain everything one by one, which helped ease her anxiety, making the procedure go smoother than expected. The anesthesia was administered slowly, so there was almost no pain, and the procedure was quick enough that my daughter even said it wasn’t as bad as she thought. After the procedure, they laid out a step-by-step plan for orthodontic timing and direction without overextending, which reassured us as parents. What I especially appreciated was that instead of just pushing for braces, they took into account my child's growth rate and changes in her dental alignment when explaining. It felt like they only recommended necessary treatments without overselling, making them much more trustworthy than other dental clinics. They also provided a detailed guide on post-treatment care and management, leaving us feeling secure even after returning home. I would highly recommend this place to anyone considering dental treatment for their child.

My child had orthodontic treatment because their teeth were not straight. We came in to get one of the front teeth fixed because it was excessively long, and the doctor was incredibly kind during the treatment. They explained everything in detail before starting, and they really took the time to reassure my anxious child so they wouldn't get upset. The treatment was satisfactory, and I believe my child will regain confidence and be able to smile brightly again. The facilities are clean, and the nurses are friendly. I highly recommend it.

I had to visit here because my regular orthodontist was closed, and I'm so satisfied that I'm leaving a review. In the past, I had painful and uncomfortable experiences getting scaling elsewhere, but here they were gentle from start to finish, which really surprised me. They made sure to avoid any pain, so I could relax during the procedure. Especially, the area around my teeth where the retainers are usually hard to clean always bothered me, but they carefully explained everything and even recommended a toothbrush that works well for that area, which was really helpful. After getting home, I tried the toothbrush they recommended, and I definitely noticed it cleaned well, even getting into the hard-to-reach spots. Thanks to them, my teeth feel great, and the staff were friendly, making the whole experience a pleasant one.

I took my child to Jalhaejyuneun Dental Clinic in Sanbon for a dental checkup. Dr. Beomjin Go treated my child, and I really appreciated how he first explained everything kindly at my child’s level so they wouldn’t feel nervous. He took his time with the examination while paying close attention to my child’s reactions. Rather than simply treating my child as a young patient, he made us feel that he respected them as an individual, which also put me, as a parent, at ease. He was very thorough with the checkup and explained the current condition of my child’s teeth, as well as what we should keep an eye on going forward, in an easy-to-understand way. My child’s teeth were crooked and needed orthodontic treatment. We had previously been told to wait and see how things developed after the first molars came in, and it turned out that this was exactly that time. So we received an explanation about the treatment.

I actually started my orthodontic treatment at a dental office in New York due to a pretty minor reason. I thought I wasn't really bothered by it most of the time, but every time I took a picture, I kept noticing that my front teeth overlapped slightly. I was also conscious of how I couldn't naturally open my mouth when I smiled and kept trying to cover it up. Then one day, a friend casually asked me, 'Have you thought about braces?' and that stuck with me. So, I ended up visiting the office just to get a consultation.

I went for a consultation for my daughter's braces. The person who consulted us was thorough in their explanations and really friendly! They took photos and the doctor explained everything again, which made me feel good. I had a comfortable consultation and listened to the information, and I've decided to think it over once more. Thank you! I will definitely come back since it's also close to our home, and I've known about this place for a long time, so I trust it. The consultation was free, so I didn't feel any pressure while speaking with them. Friends of mine also know this place well, and it's known for its good reviews.

My teeth had a slightly uneven shape and the color wasn't uniform, which kept bothering me. After consulting about the mini veneers, I went ahead with the procedure. Getting braces seemed like a long commitment and I was worried about the amount of enamel removal with laminates, but I chose mini veneers after hearing that they cause less damage to the teeth. During my first visit, they took photos and scans to assess my current state in detail and they showed me a simulation of how it would change, which made it easy to understand. I appreciated that they recommended matching the tone to my natural teeth instead of making them overly white. It felt trustworthy because they emphasized doing only what was necessary rather than pushing for more treatments. On the day of the procedure, they cleaned the surface of my teeth and applied the mini veneers. There was almost no removal, so I felt hardly any pain—just a slight pressure. They adjusted the shape and length in the middle of the process, which made me feel like we were creating the results together. It didn’t take as long as I thought, so it was a stress-free experience. What I felt most strongly afterward was how natural it looked. Instead of a dramatic change, there was a strong sense of being more polished when I smiled, and I felt less self-conscious when taking photos. I hardly felt any foreignness in my daily life, and there was no discomfort when speaking or eating.

Every time I looked in the mirror, I kept noticing the very slight gap between my front teeth. Even though people around me said they couldn’t really tell, I could always see it. So I went in for a consultation. The dentist carefully checked my tooth alignment and gum condition and explained that orthodontic treatment wasn’t necessary, and that resin treatment would be the best option for naturally filling the gap between my front teeth in a noninvasive way. I was relieved to hear that they could fill only the gap without shaving down my teeth and while preserving their natural shape. The treatment started with choosing a resin shade as close as possible to my natural tooth color, then filling the space between my front teeth to create a natural-looking line. They carefully shaped it under the lights and hardened it with a curing light. I felt no pain throughout the entire process and was comfortable. Right after the treatment, there was a slight foreign-body sensation and my front teeth felt a little tight, but the clinic told me I would get used to it quickly over time. From the next day, I had almost no discomfort, and I had no trouble talking or eating, so it didn’t interfere with my daily life at all. Most importantly, whenever I looked in the mirror, my front teeth looked naturally neat and aligned, which really boosted my confidence. I’m truly satisfied because they look so natural, like my original teeth, rather than an obvious artificial restoration. So good.

I had a lot of bleeding from my teeth, so I visited the dentist. My daughter had been there before for orthodontics, so I trusted them.

I do not recommend Chawon Dental Clinic. The following details are all based on my personal experience during my treatment. During the consultation, I was informed that my braces would be completed in 24 months, but despite attending every month without fail, it took an additional 8 months. It was confusing that I was charged the same monthly fee for routine exams as well. There was no special consideration for the situation where tooth extractions were not done in one go, which required me to revisit. (They gave a one-month discount because of the extraction issue.) I was also disappointed when they said that a failed extraction was not considered a medical accident. They shook my teeth several times, and when it didn't come out, they stopped and I had to take medication, which makes me wonder if that was not a big deal. At that time, I experienced significant fear and pain from the failed extraction, along with headaches. After receiving an apology due to the unkind response, the attitude of the dental hygienist, who also worked at the front desk, did not improve much, and the doctor did not seem to have a strong willingness to respect the patient and resolve problems. Whenever I communicated my discomfort, I felt a more defensive attitude than empathy or explanation, and I felt a lack of communication aimed at solving the patient's discomfort together. In particular, after the completion of my braces, I continuously faced the problem of my tongue getting stuck due to the fixed retainer, and it was rough enough to scratch if I touched it. Eventually, I was diagnosed with glossitis, but there was no action taken like reattachment or afterservice, just repeating the same content. Even in the process of getting a refund for the fixed retainer, there were inconsistencies regarding the amount compared to the initial agreement, and I was presented with a refund contract that included confusing clauses like restrictions on writing reviews, which led me to give up on getting a refund. Overall, I felt that there was a lack of respect for the patient and sufficient explanations. Also, since it was in Yeouido, the fact that I had to travel two hours back and forth due to the clinic moving was disappointing. It’s common for orthodontic clinics to move nearby, so that was a bit disappointing. This text is a sharing of my personal treatment experience, and I really regret not looking at reviews after only watching YouTube videos. I hope this serves as a reference for anyone considering teeth braces.

My teeth were generally crooked, and the front line wasn't straight, which made me really self-conscious whenever I smiled. I was hesitant because getting braces is a big time commitment, so I started looking into Minish, and I visited Reset Dental Clinic for a consultation. When I first arrived, they thoroughly checked the condition of my teeth, and I was impressed by how they explained that they were considering not just making my teeth look pretty, but also maintaining a natural proportion and functionality. Before the procedure, we had a detailed consultation about how to adjust the shape, color, and length of my teeth, and they planned it in a way that wouldn’t involve excessive removal, which made me feel more at ease. The process went much faster and more systematically than I expected, and they kept checking to make sure I was comfortable throughout, which gave me a sense of security. I felt confident, so I made the procedure appointment right away. The part I was most satisfied with after the procedure was how naturally aligned my teeth looked without any artificial feel. As the crooked parts were straightened out, my overall impression became much cleaner, and I gained a lot of confidence when smiling. There was hardly any pain or discomfort, so my daily life wasn't affected at all. Overall, they explained things focused on what was necessary without any excessive recommendations, and the result turned out so naturally that I was very satisfied.

I was worried about my slightly gapped front teeth, so I visited the dentist. It was a source of stress since it was noticeable every time I smiled. During the consultation, they carefully checked my teeth alignment and spacing first, then explained various treatment options. They didn't just suggest braces; they mentioned that given the current gap, filling it naturally with resin was also an option, which made it easy for me to decide.
