Hello.

I am Dr. Oh Su-hwan, a board-certified orthodontic specialist accredited by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, with 18 years of experience.

You’re curious about the cost of protruding mouth orthodontic treatment, right?

You came to the right place.

A protruding mouth is not only a negative factor aesthetically,

but also requires attention because various oral diseases can occur due to uneven tooth alignment.

However, orthodontic treatment is something that, even if you want to proceed, you may still hesitate because of the cost.

So today, I, Oh Su-hwan, sat down in front of the monitor to organize everything from the cost of protruding mouth orthodontic treatment to the things you may be wondering about.

I would appreciate it if you could focus for just 3 minutes from now.

Do any of these questions catch your interest?

| Why is orthodontic treatment so expensive? |

| Why do the costs vary so much from one dental clinic to another? |

| Is it really necessary to do it? |

I will explain in detail from here.

Why is it so expensive? I don’t really understand. The cost of protruding mouth orthodontic treatment includes several items.

First, there is the initial consultation fee. Because every person has a different oral structure, a more detailed examination is needed.

This includes taking intraoral photos and the cost incurred when consulting with the medical staff.

In fact, this is where cost differences between dental clinics begin.

Some places charge 10,000 won, while others charge 30,000 won.

And the second is the orthodontic diagnosis fee.

Specifically, facial X-rays are taken to analyze each individual’s oral structure, and model analysis is also performed.

Here too, costs can range from 100,000 won to as much as 400,000 won, and from a purely price-based perspective,

it may seem “expensive,” but that is because each patient has different issues,

and it is a necessary step for more customized treatment.

Then, now we come to the ultimate reason orthodontic treatment is expensive: the price of the orthodontic appliance.

This is where costs of several million won arise.

At this point, even if the appliance is exactly the same, the cost varies from clinic to clinic,

so keep in mind that the patient has the right to decide on the appliance,

and I hope you will visit several dental clinics and carefully compare which option is the most reasonable from a price standpoint.

How much does protruding mouth orthodontic treatment cost, exactly? Honestly, it is difficult to give a clear exact amount.

There are differences from one dental clinic to another, but in general it can be set at anywhere from 2 million won to 10 million won.

For the average person, it is naturally hard to understand why the same orthodontic treatment can show such extreme differences in cost.

Of course, there are many reasons, but it can also vary depending on the skill and experience of the medical staff.

Since orthodontic treatment is not covered by insurance, dental clinics also have the authority to set the cost of protruding mouth orthodontic treatment,

which is why prices vary so widely.

However, when it comes to choosing a dental clinic, that is 100% your decision.

Please remember the basic principle that a high cost does not necessarily mean better treatment, and overly cheap treatment has its own reasons,

and carefully consider what is your priority: the cost itself, or the satisfaction after completing orthodontic treatment.

I’m not sure whether it really needs to be done. By now, I think there may be people hesitating to receive treatment because of the burdensome cost of protruding mouth orthodontic treatment.

In fact, this treatment is not absolutely essential.

If the reason is purely aesthetic, I would like to say that you do not necessarily have to do it.

Although it is always recommended in such cases, I would at least recommend proceeding if the reason is one of the following.

First, if the protruding mouth is severe, the bite may not align properly, which can damage the teeth.

At that point, correcting the bite through orthodontic treatment can help prevent various diseases in advance.

Also, abnormal bites are harder to brush properly than normal bites.

So the likelihood of tartar buildup is higher, and this can lead to gum disease, which may eventually result in even greater costs.

Even to prevent these issues, the treatment itself is not difficult,

so I recommend visiting a dental clinic at least once and speaking with a specialist.

Today, we talked about the cost aspect like this.

Worrying about money is, of course, an important factor, but ultimately the most important thing is the health of our teeth.

Since you are about to spend a significant amount of money for your teeth, I hope you will decide carefully so that it will not feel wasteful.

It is not a short-term treatment, but a long journey that must be managed for several years, so I sincerely hope you choose a good partner for that journey.

Thank you for reading this long post. This has been Oh Su-hwan.
