If the Installment Cost of Orthodontic Treatment for Protruding Mouth in Gangnam Feels Burdensome

Hello.

We are Gangnam Blanche Dental Clinic, working to find the hidden beauty in each patient.

Do you find yourself constantly worried about your side profile every time you look in the mirror, so that you keep lowering your head?

Or have you ever been misunderstood as looking angry because too much of your gums show when you smile, or because the shape of your mouth makes you look blunt?

A protruding mouth often becomes a major complex that affects a person’s impression and confidence.

That is why many people desperately want orthodontic treatment, but there is one major barrier that makes them hesitate to even step into a dental clinic.

It is the burden of cost.

Orthodontic treatment is a long-term treatment that can take as little as one year and as long as two years or more, and it is true that the cost is not small.

Whenever I see people choosing to live with that complex because they think a large lump-sum payment is required, I feel truly sorry as a doctor.

But don’t worry.

Recently, various systems have been put in place to reduce the burden on patients.

Today, Gangnam Blanche Dental Clinic will explain in detail everything from the remarkable changes in appearance brought about by orthodontic correction for a protruding mouth to how to use installment payment options to reduce financial strain.

Protruding Mouth Cases

In a dental protrusion case, the gum bone is in a normal position, but the front teeth are protruded, causing the mouth to stick out.

This is a good case where orthodontic treatment alone can be effective.

Compared with skeletal protrusion, this is a case where the gum bone itself has protruded forward.

In the past, it was thought that double-jaw surgery was necessary, but with recent advances in orthodontic techniques such as mini screws, substantial improvement has become possible without surgery.

Gum protrusion (with gummy smile) is a case where a lot of gum shows when smiling and the mouth appears protruded.

A vertical intrusion technique is needed to pull the teeth back while moving them upward.

At Blanche Dental Clinic, through 3D CT and a facial scanner, we analyze the thickness of the bone, the angle of the teeth, and even the thickness of the lips in 0.1 mm units to determine precisely whether improvement is possible with orthodontic treatment alone without surgery.

Will orthodontic correction make me as beautiful as plastic surgery?

Orthodontic treatment for a protruding mouth is often called non-surgical cosmetic enhancement because it changes the facial line.

The aesthetic changes that can be achieved through orthodontics cannot be ignored.

The completion of the golden-ratio E-line The line connecting the tip of the nose and the tip of the chin is called the E-line (Esthetic Line).

The ideal side profile is when the lips sit slightly inside this line.

If orthodontic treatment pulls the protruding mouth backward,

the nose may appear more refined, and the jaw line that once looked like a receding chin becomes more defined, making the side profile look more sophisticated.

Improvement in nasolabial folds and a more youthful look When the mouth protrudes, the nasolabial folds beside the nose often appear deeper, which can make a person look older than they really are.

A mouth that closes naturally For people with severe protruding mouths, when closing the mouth, a wrinkled chin line (a pebbly wrinkle) may form at the chin, or they may only be able to close their mouth by consciously applying force.

After treatment, the mouth closes comfortably without effort, and the previously blunt impression becomes softer.

No matter how good the orthodontic results are, paying several million won at once is a big burden for anyone.

That is why many clinics operate installment payment systems.

What is an installment system?

This is a payment method in which the total orthodontic cost is divided over the treatment period (usually 10 to 24 months).

For example, you first pay only the initial cost (part of the appliance fee), and the rest is divided into monthly payments each time you come in for treatment.

If you divide the total cost by the number of months, the amount you need to bear each month is greatly reduced.

If you think of it as saving the cost of one or two cups of coffee a day and investing it in your future smile, it becomes much more approachable.

Because you pay while seeing the treatment progress,

the clinic is also able to provide responsible care until the end, and patients can feel at ease.

When consulting, be sure to ask about the number of months available for installments and the initial payment.

Because policies differ by clinic, you can choose a plan that is favorable to your financial situation.

Cheap isn’t always better?

Three key criteria for choosing a clinic beyond cost

Reducing the burden through installments is good, but to ensure a successful orthodontic treatment, here are three things you must check.

Whether the treatment is handled responsibly

Orthodontic treatment is like a marathon that can take as little as one year and as long as two years or more.

If the doctor in charge changes midway, the treatment plan can go off track and the duration may be extended.

Be sure to check whether the chief doctor personally takes responsibility from diagnosis to completion.

Precision diagnosis system

Because every person has a different facial structure, it is best if the clinic has facial analysis equipment that can simulate the expected post-treatment appearance in advance.

Aftercare system

Even after the orthodontic appliance is removed,

the teeth have a tendency to move back.

You should check whether retention appliance management is handled carefully and whether a regular checkup system is well established.

The days when you covered your mouth in photos and worried every time you smiled because of your protruding mouth.

Because we can provide a reasonable cost plan that also considers the patient’s financial situation,

along with careful treatment,

if you are concerned about a protruding mouth, do not worry alone any longer and feel free to visit the clinic.
