With these 2 things, you can find a skilled one

Gangnam Station orthodontic clinic

Hello.

I’m Kim Mujin, CEO and head dentist of D-DAY Dental Clinic.

When you pass by the Gangnam Station area,

there are 정말 many orthodontic clinic signs.

I see them every day on my commute too,

and to be honest,

it’s hard to tell which is which.^^;

From a patient’s perspective, it must be even more confusing. They all say they are the “best,” “number one,” or “specialists.”

So today, as a practicing dentist,

I’d like to tell you 2 criteria for judging by real skill,

not advertising copy.

You need to choose transparent orthodontics especially carefully.

Because of the advantage that they are not visible,

many people choose them,

but once treatment actually begins,

the results vary widely.

“Every clinic looks the same...

How should I choose?”

I’m sure many of you worry about this. It gets even more confusing when everyone says they’re the best.

Especially with transparent orthodontics, because the appliance is not visible,

it is difficult for patients to directly confirm

whether it is moving properly.

That is why you need to find a truly skilled place.

If you check only the 2 criteria I’m about to explain,

you can avoid being misled by advertisements

and find a clinic with real skill.

1. A transparent orthodontic simulation shown this way is the real thing

When you go for a transparent orthodontics consultation,

what usually happens?

In most cases, they briefly look inside your mouth, do one scan,

and say, “Transparent orthodontics is possible. The cost is about this much.”

But this is a really dangerous sign.

Transparent orthodontics requires much more precise planning

than regular orthodontics.

They need to simulate in advance how the teeth will move step by step,

and what changes will happen with each appliance.

That is why a truly skilled clinic

must show you a digital simulation.

They accurately assess the current tooth condition with a 3D scan,

and let you check the final result after treatment in advance.

What matters even more is whether they explain this simulation properly to the patient.

At stage 1, the front teeth move this much,

and by around stage 10, they look like this.

The total number of appliances is about 25,

and the expected treatment period is 15 months.

"

It should be a place that explains things this specifically.

When I consult, I show patients the simulation screen directly

and explain it to them.

Once you can see it with your own eyes,

the level of understanding changes completely.

Most people come to understand it by saying,

“Oh, so this is how it changes.”

The patient needs to understand their treatment process accurately,

and know why it proceeds in that order.

That way, they can trust the process and follow it throughout the treatment period.

Conversely, you should be careful with places that only say,

“Leave it to us, we’ll take care of everything, just trust me^^.”

If they do not explain properly, it means one of two things.

Either there is no accurate plan,

or their goal is a quick contract rather than the patient’s understanding.

2. Transparent orthodontic appliance management and checkups

must be done this way for proper treatment

Transparent orthodontics is a method where you

replace the appliance yourself at home.

“Then doesn’t that mean I don’t need to visit the clinic often?”

Many people think this.

That is absolutely not true.

In fact, it needs to be checked more often and more carefully.

With transparent orthodontics, it is essential to check from time to time whether the teeth are moving according to the plan.

Even if the appliance is on, it may look fine from the outside while not actually fitting properly.

A skilled clinic schedules checkups once a month,

or at most once every two months.

And each time, they carefully check whether the appliance fits properly

and whether the teeth are moving according to the plan.

Whenever I check, I ask patients,

“Has there been any discomfort when wearing the appliance?

Does it fit well?”

I try not to miss even small discomforts.

Because if the appliance does not fit properly,

the teeth will not move as planned.

Then we have to scan again in the middle of treatment

and make a new appliance. That takes extra time and extra cost.

Another important point is

attachment management.

The small bumps attached to the teeth during transparent orthodontics

are called attachments. If these come off, the teeth will not move properly.

But at some clinics, even if these fall off,

they do not take immediate action.

They say, “We’ll attach it again when you come next time,”

and put it off.

Then during that time,

the teeth may move in an undesired direction.

What I emphasize is “immediate response.” If you contact us because an attachment has come off,

we arrange a visit right away.

It may take a little more time,

but this is how you create accurate results.

And with transparent orthodontics,

the patient’s cooperation is extremely important.

You need to wear it for at least 20 hours a day

for it to work properly.

So at every checkup, we ask,

“Are you wearing it properly?”

And if there are any difficulties,

we look for solutions together.

We do not simply scold the patient; we listen to why it is difficult

and look for ways to improve it.

To summarize what I shared today:

First,

is it a place that shows the transparent orthodontic simulation

in detail?

Can you see with your own eyes how it will change step by step?

Second,

how thorough are the regular checkups?

Does it check carefully whether the appliance fits properly,

and whether the teeth are moving according to the plan?

If you check just these 2 things, you can find a skilled

Don’t be swayed only by advertising copy or price,

and pay attention to what really matters.

Transparent orthodontics is invisible,

so it requires even more careful management.

Choose carefully the place that will go through that process with you.

I will always do my best so that patients can receive treatment comfortably.

Sincerely,

Kim Mujin, Director of D-DAY Dental Clinic
