“Doctor, I want to get orthodontic treatment, but it’s really hard to make time on weekdays..

And because I’m out and about a lot, I’d like to do it with clear aligners if possible. Something that doesn’t show.”

This is something I often hear from office workers, especially patients in their 20s and 30s.

In situations like this, most people first look for an orthodontic clinic that also offers weekend appointments.

But these days, there are so many dental clinics offering weekend care, and there are dozens of Gangnam orthodontic clinics alone,

so you may end up wondering, “Which place is actually good?”, “Isn’t it just good at advertising?”

Especially since orthodontic treatment usually takes 1 to 2 years or more once you start, and it isn’t cheap,

so choosing based only on “weekend appointments available” or “close by” isn’t enough.

Today, for those of you with these concerns, I’ll explain the two things you must check when choosing a Gangnam orthodontic clinic,

and the points to look for when being evaluated for clear aligners.

Oh, and I’m Dentist Oh Su-hwan, with 18 years of experience, who has carried out more than 4,000 orthodontic treatments without a single medical incident. ^^

In addition to weekend appointments,

Two things worth checking

Weekend dental clinic

These days, there are so many dental clinics,

so choosing a clinic simply because it offers weekend appointments isn’t enough.

In fact, I recommend checking the two things below for sure.

  1. Whether an experienced orthodontic specialist is on-site

Orthodontic treatment is not short-term treatment; it is treatment in which one person’s teeth are managed and adjusted over 1 to 2 years or longer.

Therefore, it is very important whether an orthodontic specialist with accumulated experience and know-how personally provides the treatment.

It’s hard to say this just by numbers,

but I would prefer to say, “Look for someone with at least 10 years of orthodontic experience.”

If a clinic has been in practice for a long time or has a long track record,

there is a higher chance that it has many reviews from previous patients and a wide variety of orthodontic cases.

We, too, have stayed in the same location near Sinsa Station for 18 years, meeting many patients over that time,

and we have handled a wide range of orthodontic issues such as protruding mouths, deep bites, crooked teeth, asymmetry, and re-treatment.

Each of those cases became part of our know-how,

and it became the foundation that allows us to give more specific and practical advice to people who come in for consultations now.

In particular, orthodontic methods like clear aligners, which require a precise treatment plan,

need adjustments that take the patient’s lifestyle habits into account as well,

so I want to emphasize that the treatment team’s level of experience is truly important.

  1. Whether the primary doctor does not change frequently

I think orthodontics is a field that requires long-term teamwork between the patient and the clinic.

From the initial diagnosis to orthodontic planning, mid-treatment adjustments, and retainers,

a system where one medical professional treats the patient through the end is more stable.

These days, many clinics use visiting doctors,

and in that case, the consistency of the treatment plan can decline, which may also be confusing for the patient.

So when consulting at a Gangnam orthodontic clinic,

please be sure to ask, “Who will be in charge of my orthodontic treatment?”, “Will the doctor in charge change in the middle?”

There is nothing inconvenient about asking even one of these questions.

In fact, if it’s a trustworthy weekend dental clinic, they will explain it more kindly.

When visiting a few Gangnam orthodontic clinics, Points to check during diagnosis Orthodontic treatment is often not decided after looking at just one clinic,

and many people get consultations from two or three places and compare them.

Let me tell you what you should definitely check during that process.

  1. How thoroughly they perform a detailed diagnosis

Whether it’s clear aligners or regular braces, an accurate diagnosis before starting is fundamental.

Rather than simply taking one photo and explaining from there,

check whether they provide an explanation based on a combination of various diagnostic data such as

3D CT scans, oral scanners, and simulations made from a model of the patient’s teeth.

If you get a proper diagnosis, there are many cases where you think, “Ah, this was a problem too,”

and discover things you hadn’t noticed before.

  1. Whether they are flexible in choosing orthodontic methods

Depending on the clinic, some places insist on only one orthodontic method,

while others explain several methods according to the patient’s lifestyle, occupation, and budget.

For example,

people who need clear aligners because they have to speak a lot

people who want Clippy C braces, which have a lower cost burden

people considering lingual braces, which are not visible

Patients’ situations are really diverse.

A Gangnam orthodontic clinic that explains several orthodontic methods during consultation

and compares the pros and cons may be more trustworthy.

So far, I’ve talked about what may be worth checking when choosing a Gangnam orthodontic clinic or weekend dental clinic.

At our clinic, an orthodontic specialist personally takes responsibility for the entire process, from consultation to the end of orthodontic treatment,

and among various options such as clear aligners (Invisalign), Clippy C, and lingual braces,

we design the most suitable method for each patient.

If you are currently looking for clear aligners or a Gangnam orthodontic clinic with weekend appointments,

it would be fine to come in for a consultation first.

Diagnosis and consultations are by reservation, so you can receive them comfortably without waiting. ^^

Please feel free to contact us.
