How to Find a Really Good Jae-kyojeong Dentist in Jamwon-dong

Hello.

I’m Oh Suhwan, a board-certified orthodontic specialist certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare with 18 years of experience.

It’s been two years since I got braces,

and my teeth already seem to be shifting again..

The results of my orthodontic treatment

do not feel as satisfying as I expected. Orthodontic treatment is a long-term process that can take anywhere from a few months to several years.

On top of that, it is not exactly inexpensive.

But after spending time and money on orthodontic treatment, if the teeth shift again,

and the results are not satisfying, there is almost nothing more disappointing.

If you are looking for a Jamwon-dong dental clinic while considering re-orthodontic treatment,

you would probably want to make a more careful choice, hoping this time will not be a failure.

For those of you like this, today I’ve put together

the characteristics of a Jamwon-dong dental clinic that is truly good at re-orthodontic treatment.

An orthodontic expert with over 10 years of experience Jamwon-dong dental clinic checkpoint 1. Let’s look at a case first.

This was a patient who received orthodontic treatment with extractions at another dental clinic.

As shown below, the orthodontic treatment was already complete,

but the tooth alignment had shifted from the front, and the front teeth were significantly protruded forward.

The fixed retainer attached to the inside of the teeth had also broken completely.

In cases like this, you need to comprehensively consider the changes in the tooth roots and periodontal condition caused by the previous orthodontic treatment,

as well as the dental arch (jaw structure), so a higher level of diagnosis and treatment planning is required.

Naturally, it is more difficult than the first round of orthodontic treatment.

Therefore, you need to find a truly skilled specialist.

How can you find an experienced medical team?

First, ① check whether they are orthodontic specialists.

There are many dental clinics that provide orthodontic treatment, but not every dentist is an orthodontic specialist.

In dentistry, there are 11 subspecialties.

Orthodontics is an independent field that specializes in tooth alignment and bite problems,

and you can obtain the title of 'specialist' only through 6 years of study and 4 years of clinical experience.

If the medical team has spent 10 years focusing only on orthodontic treatment,

their experience and depth of expertise in orthodontics will inevitably be different from that of a general dentist.

② Also check how long they have been in business

Of course, you cannot say that a clinic with a short operating history lacks skill.

However, if the clinic has been in business for more than 10 years,

it can be said to be a place that has been verified to some extent within the local community.

If a clinic has more than 10 years of clinical experience and a long operating history,

it is likely a place that has completed treatment without problems

and has continued to treat patients responsibly even after that.

③ Check before-and-after photos and reviews from various cases

Even if they have a lot of experience, carefully check the actual treatment process and results for real patients as well.

Through the dental clinic’s website, blog, SNS, and so on,

look at before-and-after orthodontic photos and real patient reviews to help guide your choice.

A system that takes responsibility for the patient from beginning to end Jamwon-dong dental clinic checkpoint 2. Orthodontic treatment is a long-term process.

In particular, re-orthodontic treatment requires resolving the problems that arose during the previous orthodontic process,

so it is important to choose a dental clinic with a systematic system that takes responsibility for the patient from beginning to end.

① A system where the primary doctor manages the case through to the end

You may wonder, 'Isn’t the original primary doctor supposed to manage it 1:1?'

but in reality, there are many part-time doctors who do not work at the clinic full-time and only work on certain days of the week.

Because many contracts are made on a one-year basis, there are often cases where the medical staff changes during the long orthodontic process.

The problem with this kind of system is that, from the patient’s perspective, treatment consistency can suffer.

Even if a new medical provider continues the existing plan as it is,

detailed judgment standards and treatment style can differ, which may affect the orthodontic result.

Therefore, a system in which the orthodontic specialist in charge consistently manages the patient’s treatment is important.

② Is there a regular management program?

Our bodies have the characteristic of trying to maintain homeostasis,

so teeth also tend to return to their original position after orthodontic treatment.

To prevent this, it is good to check whether there is a regular checkup system

and whether retainer management is handled thoroughly.

③ Whether they have 3D digital orthodontic equipment

Recently, precise orthodontic treatment using 3D digital equipment has become possible.

With the help of such advanced equipment, more accurate diagnosis and customized treatment are possible.

So it would be helpful to check whether the clinic has this equipment.

Re-orthodontic treatment requires a higher level of expertise and a more detailed treatment plan than the first orthodontic treatment.

Therefore, please check whether the clinic is run by an orthodontic expert with more than 10 years of experience,

and whether it has a system that takes responsibility for the patient from beginning to end,

and choose a Jamwon-dong dental clinic carefully after taking enough time.
