Visit verification complete #Facial contouring + orthodontics ♥ Non-surgical beauty correction When I complained about discomfort at a general dental clinic, everyone said it was fine. But here, they immediately pointed out an overbite issue. Wow, specialists really are different! I received a lot of explanations which were a bit confusing, but during our conversation, they captured summaries of notes written on the pad and sent them via KakaoTalk or Messenger. They were kind and didn’t show any discomfort when I asked several times about parts I didn’t understand or had trouble with!

I had pain in my jaw every time I chewed because my bite was off, but they diagnosed both my jaw joint and teeth alignment issues. After the bite adjustment, my discomfort decreased, and I was able to correct my habit of resting my chin on my hand, which was an added benefit beyond the treatment.

오수환 원장26.03.10Views 563Likes 6 Can I get orthodontic treatment (malocclusion correction) even in my 40s?[11]
Hello? I am a working professional in my 40s. My concern is about orthodontics (malocclusion). Usually, I have to give presentations in front of people from other departments and meet with various people regarding work. I have many conversations, but perhaps due to malocclusion, my pronunciation is unclear, which interferes with my work. Some people around me say it doesn't really matter, but misunderstandings happen, and I have to repeat myself several times, which makes things awkward for everyone. I have a Class III malocclusion, and I would like to know approximately the treatment duration and cost. I am also curious whether there is an age limit for receiving treatment for malocclusion. Then I will wait for your response. Keep up the good work.
손주연24.08.15Views 336Likes 6 Malocclusion, orthodontics~[2]
The child received orthodontic treatment because of severe malocclusion. My upper teeth protruded so severely that I couldn't even break the noodles to eat them. They say it's because I breathe through my mouth while sleeping. I underwent about a year of orthodontic treatment to reshape my upper teeth from a V-shape to a U-shape. Then, after extracting the molar, I started orthodontic treatment. My teeth were also a complete mess with zigzag patterns. The orthodontic treatment that started in upper elementary school was completed by the second year of middle school. The socially tragic COVID-19 pandemic was somewhat helpful for children because the masks made it less obvious that they were undergoing orthodontic treatment, so they seem to have smoothly gotten through adolescence. Now that the tedious orthodontic treatment is over, my once disliked teeth have become so beautiful that I feel the worth of the money spent. But that's not the end; I heard that you need to properly wear the prosthesis during sleep for the correction period and also wear the daytime prosthesis properly. Otherwise, it could get messed up because of the tendency to want to go back... Teacher Bareun at the dental clinic and nurse, thank you so much for your kindness over the past four years. Thanks to you, my child was able to undergo difficult treatments well. Now I just need to take good care of the follow-up~^^
조현숙24.04.18Views 161Likes 3 Malocclusion? Inquiry about orthodontic treatment[2]
I didn't know, but after hearing my friend's words about malocclusion, I became very worried. It's not that my chin is protruding; when I try to bite, my upper teeth are slightly more forward than my lower teeth. I had always thought I was normal and lived my life that way, but this time I met a friend who works in dental prosthetics and learned something new. It was so shocking ㅠ The four upper teeth and about four to five lower teeth? They are not aligning and are separated. From the canine to the back molars. All the teeth fit together well, so I can chew food properly. Come to think of it, I can never eat a whole kimbap, and the same goes for hamburgers or sandwiches. I had trouble because I cut it incorrectly, and it was because my upper and lower teeth weren't touching. Can this also be corrected through orthodontics?ㅠㅠㅠ Without surgeryㅠ

오수환 원장26.03.10Views 563Likes 6 [Health Column] What Should You Do If Your Temporary Implant Teeth Fall Out on a Weekend or Holiday?[4]
Hello! I am Lee Hyun-seop, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. If a temporary implant tooth suddenly falls out on a Saturday evening, Sunday, or public holiday, anyone would likely panic and worry, thinking something terrible has happened. However, in most cases, if only the temporary tooth has come off, there is no need to be too alarmed. Today, I will explain step-by-step how to properly handle the situation without panicking if your temporary tooth falls out on a weekend or holiday. For your reference, Seoul Centum Dental Clinic is open every day from Monday to Sunday, except for the day of the holiday, so you can rest assured! (Source: AI Image) 🔹 What should I check first? First, check whether the missing part is the 'temporary tooth' or the 'implant itself'. 💡 Just a moment! > In most cases, only the temporary prosthesis detaches. Please rest assured that the implant body (fixture) inside the gum bone does not come out easily! If the pain is not severe and the metal part inside the gum is clearly visible, it is highly likely that only the temporary tooth has fallen out. 🔹 Why do temporary teeth fall out so easily? This is because a weak adhesive is used so that it can be removed before the final prosthesis is attached. Temporary teeth are not the final prosthetics. In most cases, they are attached with specialized temporary cement so that they can be easily removed later. As a result, it may fall out more easily than expected if subjected to tough or sticky foods, or repeated strong chewing force. In fact, if you attach it too strongly, it can become very difficult to remove later when inserting the final prosthesis. 🔹 What should I do if I miss a weekend or public holiday? Please do not panic and make sure to follow the four safety rules below. 📌 ① Do not throw away temporary teeth! If you gently rinse a fallen temporary tooth with clean water and store it properly in an airtight container before bringing it to the dentist, it can often be reattached. ⚠️ ② Absolutely do not attach it yourself! Occasionally, some patients come in having attached the prosthesis themselves using super glue or regular adhesive, but this is extremely dangerous. Please absolutely avoid this, as it can damage the prosthesis or allow the adhesive to seep into the gums, making treatment much more difficult. 📌 ③ Please eat on the opposite side! It is best to avoid using the treated area as much as possible. Soft foods such as porridge, eggs, tofu, and yogurt are recommended, and please avoid hard or chewy foods. 📌 ④ Please be sure to maintain oral hygiene! You should brush your teeth as usual, but please clean the area where the tooth is missing gently without scrubbing hard to prevent plaque from building up. 🔹 Is it okay to go to the dentist in a few days? If possible, it is best to visit as soon as possible without delaying it. Temporary teeth are not simply worn for aesthetic purposes; they play the following important roles. 🔸 Maintaining gum shape 🔸 Prevents movement of surrounding teeth 🔸 Maintaining space for the final prosthesis 🔸 Authoring Function Assistance If left empty for a long time, the gums may change shape or surrounding teeth may gradually shift, potentially resulting in the final prosthesis, which was carefully prepared, no longer fitting. 🔹 Should I visit the dentist sooner in these cases? It may not be a simple fallout, so you should seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms. ⚠️ We recommend seeking medical attention as soon as possible if you experience the following symptoms. ✔ When you feel like the implant is also loose ✔ When severe pain or bleeding persists ✔ When the gums swell noticeably ✔ When pus comes out or there is a strong odor ✔ When the metal part inside the gum moves along with it 🔹 How should I care for temporary teeth so they don't fall out again? You can prevent temporary teeth from falling out with just small changes to your daily habits. You need to take a little more care of your temporary teeth than usual while using them. ✨ Avoid tough foods ✨ Reduce sticky foods ✨ Do not bite on ice ✨ Do not chew excessively in only one direction ✨ Reduce the habit of clenching your teeth ❔ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. Can I reuse a temporary tooth if I bring it in even if it breaks? A1. If the temporary tooth has come off cleanly, it can be reattached immediately after lightly cleaning and bringing it in. Even if it is damaged, it is recommended to gather the pieces and bring them in, as the dental clinic needs to check the condition and either modify or remake it. Q2. Food keeps getting stuck in the spot where the temporary tooth fell out. Is it okay to poke around? A2. If you forcefully poke at the missing tooth with a toothpick or similar object, it may cause injury to the gums or increase the risk of infection. We recommend brushing your teeth gently, maintaining oral hygiene through light gargling, and visiting a dentist as soon as possible. 📌 Conclusion Losing a temporary implant tooth is a more common occurrence than you might think during the treatment process. The important thing is not to panic and try to solve it yourself with super glue or the like. Please keep the temporary tooth in its container, avoid chewing food on the treated area, and visit the dentist as soon as your schedule allows to have it checked by the medical staff.

이현섭 원장26.07.01Views 62Likes 3 [Health Column] Do I Really Need an Implant Just Because I Lost a Tooth? Changes That Can Occur If Neglected[3]
Hello! I am Hyun-seop Lee, the Chief Director of Seoul Centum Dental Clinic. 👋 When I see patients in the clinic, I very frequently receive the question, "I lost a molar, but I can manage my daily life right now. Do I really need an implant?" Since there isn't much discomfort from missing a tooth or two when chewing on the other side, many people tend to put off treatment. However, teeth are not independent entities but a structure that pushes and supports each other to form a single perfect balance. Even if it looks fine for now, leaving the empty space unattended for a long time can trigger unexpected domino effects within the oral cavity. Today, I will explain in an easy-to-understand way what happens when you leave a missing tooth untreated! ✨ 1️⃣ It's just one missing tooth; will it really not be uncomfortable at first? 🦷 For now, you may not feel any inconvenience as you can work on the opposite side. 🔹 It is simply the process of the body adapting to discomfort. Losing a single tooth does not immediately cause extreme changes, such as being unable to eat at all or having your pronunciation twisted. 🙅♂️ Especially when a molar is missing, people naturally chew food using only the healthy teeth on the opposite side and often think, "Oh? Life is better than I thought?" 🔹 Examples of real-life situations Ever since I lost my right molar, I've been unconsciously chewing all my food only on the left side. Since I wasn't in pain right away, I kept putting off my dental appointment until next month. 📌 It is not that you are not uncomfortable; rather, your body may be forcing itself to adapt to adverse conditions. Do not let your guard down! ⚠️ (Source: AI Image) 2️⃣ What happens to the surrounding teeth if the empty space is left for a long time? 🦷 The teeth on both sides tilt into the empty space, and the interlocking teeth shift. 🔹 The balance of teeth collapsing like dominoes The teeth in the oral cavity are closely packed together without gaps to maintain balance. Just as the whole system wobbles when a single gear is missing, when a gap forms, the surrounding teeth begin to move to fill that space. 📉 The teeth on both sides tilt toward the empty space, and the opposing teeth lose their support and sink up or rise up. 🔹 Changes that occur gradually over several months to years This change is not visible overnight. However, over several months to years, the entire set of teeth gradually becomes misaligned. 3️⃣ Does the habit of chewing on only one side affect the jaw joint? 🦷 Repeated unilateral chewing leads to jaw muscle imbalance and strain on the temporomandibular joint. 🔹 Excessive overload applied to only one side of the jaw If 'unilateral chewing,' where you chew food on only one side to avoid the side without teeth, becomes a habit, you end up overusing specific jaw muscles. 🏋️ This becomes the main cause of disrupting the balance of the jaw joint. 🔹 Symptoms actually experienced Among those visiting the dentist, there are some who say, "Strangely, lately only one side of my jaw feels stiff, and I hear a clicking sound every time I open my mouth." 🗣️ Upon examining the cause, it is not uncommon to find that delaying treatment for past tooth loss has snowballed back to haunt them. 4️⃣ How does the invisible gum bone change? 🦷 The area where the tooth is missing does not receive stimulation, so the gum bone gradually shrinks. 🔹 Bone resorption that decreases the longer it is left untreated The alveolar bone maintains its volume and health only when teeth are firmly embedded and receive the force (masticatory pressure) generated when chewing food. However, if a tooth is lost and no further stimulation is transmitted, our body determines that the bone in that area is no longer needed and initiates bone resorption, in which the height and thickness of the bone gradually decrease. 📌 It is like the process of the land (soil) where trees are planted gradually drying out and eroding away. As time passes, this loss accelerates even further! ⚠️ 5️⃣ Will it be more difficult to get implants later? 🦷 If gum bone becomes insufficient, additional treatments such as bone grafting become necessary, placing a heavy burden on the patient. 🔹 Simple treatment turns into high-difficulty surgery Even in cases where implantation was relatively easy immediately after extraction because the gum bone was strong, the difficulty of treatment changes completely if the tooth is left untreated for a long time and the bone has completely dissolved. 🛑 Additional regenerative treatments, such as bone grafting or maxillary sinus lift, may be essential to fill in the lack of bone. 🔹 Increasing treatment duration and financial burden As a result, a process that could have been completed in a single step expands into multiple stages, extending the overall treatment period and significantly increasing the financial burden. This is why it is wisest to seek consultation without missing the appropriate timing. 💰 6️⃣ Is dentures alone sufficient as an alternative? 🦷 Dentures are a good option, but there are differences in terms of stability and chewing sensation. 🔹 You need to make a choice that suits the situation and oral environment. When multiple teeth are lost over a wide range, dentures can be an economical and excellent alternative to prosthetic treatment. However, since it is a detachable structure, there is the inconvenience of having to periodically adjust it to fit the gums while using it. 🔹 Fixation similar to natural teeth On the other hand, since implants directly fix the artificial root to the gum bone, you can expect excellent chewing sensation and stability that are in no way inferior to natural teeth. Rather than assuming that one treatment is unconditionally correct, the decision must be made after carefully considering the condition of the remaining teeth and the overall oral environment. 7️⃣ What is the most important point when you lose a tooth? 🦷 The key is to get an accurate checkup without missing the timing, rather than rushing unconditionally. 🔹 Indefinite neglect is the behavior to be avoided most. It is not necessarily best to get an implant on the same day as tooth extraction. Depending on the individual's gum inflammation, there may be times when you need to wait. However, leaving it untreated indefinitely without a plan is a shortcut to ruining your oral health. The first step is to get an accurate diagnosis of your current bone condition and whether you are causing harm to surrounding teeth, and to determine the right timing. 🔹 FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. I have been living with a missing molar for over a year. Would it be too late to go to the dentist now? A1. Now is the best time to visit! 🏃♂️ Since subtle tooth movement or bone resorption may be in progress after about a year, it is important to accurately check the current condition of surrounding teeth and gum bone through X-ray imaging and establish an appropriate prosthetic plan. Q2. Is bone grafting mandatory for everyone during implant surgery? A2. No! If you have recently had a tooth extracted or have naturally abundant and firm gum bone, implant placement is possible without a bone graft. However, as mentioned in the text, if the bone has eroded due to being left untreated for a long period, a bone graft may be required for stabilization. 👋 Q3. The cost of implants is a burden right now. Can I use dentures for now and switch to implants later? A3. Yes, it is possible. However, even while using dentures for a long time, bone resorption gradually occurs as the dentures press against the gums. If the bone structure has become too low when you eventually switch to implants, the difficulty of the surgery may increase, potentially requiring a larger amount of bone graft material. Therefore, we recommend discussing a long-term plan with a specialist. 😊 🔸 Conclusion Neglecting a tooth with the mindset that "it's just one tooth" can lead to changes in tooth alignment, gum bone loss, strain on the jaw joint, and reduced chewing function, ultimately causing overall oral collapse. 📉 Even if you feel fine after tooth extraction, you must be aware that the bone beneath your gums and your alignment are continuously changing invisibly. Every patient has different oral bone volume and dental alignment. The best way to protect your precious dental health without expanding the scope of treatment is to find a trusted medical professional for an accurate examination before it is too late. 🩺 ✨ A little attention now and early check-ups can significantly reduce the duration and cost of future treatment. Don't hesitate to check your oral health first!

이현섭 원장26.06.24Views 180Likes 2 [Health Column] I've already had veneers; is it possible to get braces?[3]
Hello, this is Director Oh Su-hwan of Smile D Dental Clinic. There are many people who previously received veneers for a beautiful smile but are now concerned as their teeth have gradually become misaligned over time. I want to receive orthodontic treatment again, but, "Do I have to remove all the existing veneers?", "What about the cost and pain?" There are quite a few cases where people feel anxious, saying things like that. Today, I will provide clear solutions for each case regarding whether orthodontic treatment is possible even with veneers. So, shall we start by addressing the key question that many of you are curious about? 🤔 1️⃣ Do I absolutely have to remove braces after veneers? ✨ It is reasonable to accurately diagnose the current situation and proceed selectively with only the necessary parts. To start with the conclusion, having veneers does not mean that orthodontic treatment is impossible. However, the treatment strategy simply varies depending on the patient's dental condition. We must accurately diagnose the condition rather than unconditionally removing the entire tooth. One example is a case where the laminate prosthesis itself is firmly attached, but only the lower teeth are slightly misaligned. ⚠️ Rather than blindly removing all the prosthetics, Please consult a specialist first to see if there are any parts that can be preserved. The treatment method varies completely depending on the condition. Which category does my tooth fall into? 👇 2️⃣ What are the situational treatment cases that suit me? ✨ It proceeds in three directions depending on the condition of the prosthesis and the purpose of occlusion. 🔸 If the laminate is in good condition (conservative correction) If you are satisfied with the color or shape of the existing laminates and there are no significant issues such as fractures, correction is possible while maintaining them. You can attach orthodontic brackets through tooth surface treatment, or correct only the tooth alignment using clear aligners. 🔸 When partial replacement of the laminate is required This is a case where you are dissatisfied because part of your tooth is fractured or your gums are in poor condition. We remove only the problematic laminates and proceed with orthodontic treatment, then fabricate new laminates only for that specific area after the correction. 🔸 Cases where a complete redesign is required It is necessary not just for simple tooth movement, but when the occlusion itself is not harmonious, such as in cases of protruding teeth, open bite, or facial asymmetry. The laminates must be removed to check the original alignment and condition of the teeth. If necessary, the original tooth positions are restored using temporary teeth before proceeding with orthodontic treatment, and finally, the aesthetic prosthetics are redesigned. ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1. If braces are attached to teeth that have been laminated, won't they fall off easily? A1. Of course, it requires more caution than attaching it to natural teeth. However, since current dental technology allows for sufficient surface treatment to ensure attachment, you do not need to worry too much. Q2. Is more tooth reduction involved when removing laminates? A2. The key is to avoid causing additional damage to teeth that have already been prepared for veneers. We delicately remove existing prosthetics and safely proceed with orthodontic treatment while protecting the teeth using temporary teeth if necessary. Q3. The treatment period and cost are very burdensome. A3. 'Selective redesign' tailored to your oral condition is much more efficient than redoing the entire set.
