Hello^^
Jamsil teenage Invisalign
Jamsil orthodontic clinic
This is Upen Barun Dental
How have you been??

Today, I’d like to introduce the before-and-after Invisalign case of a 12-year-old middle school girl^^
The health and alignment of teeth
have a major effect on appearance.
In adolescence, when crooked teeth can make smiling a source of concern,
what kind of change can Invisalign show?

Orthodontic period: 23/8 ~ 24/11

Songpa Invisalign Diamond status
At Upen Barun Dental,
through Invisalign orthodontic treatment,
you can see that the front teeth with an underbite
found their proper position,
and the crooked teeth became neatly aligned.
Invisalign has
made remarkable progress over the past 20 years,
so it is designed to be applicable to a variety of complex cases,
including underbite correction, extraction orthodontics, non-extraction orthodontics, deep bite, open bite, and surgical orthodontics.
'The psychological effects of orthodontic treatment
in adolescence
are said to produce positive results in various ways.'


What made it possible to straighten the crooked teeth without extraction with Invisalign?
It was through the 'arch expansion' function
that both the front teeth and molars found their proper positions and were aligned correctly.
Before treatment, the line connecting the occlusal surfaces
was tilted inward or outward.
Invisalign, which is made of a specially reinforced plastic material,
continuously holds the teeth with light force from the inside and outside,
so it expands the arch with minimal pain
and helps tooth movement more easily.
This patient completed orthodontic treatment through
one of Invisalign’s options,
Invisalign Comprehensive,
with three ClinChecks.
Invisalign Comprehensive is used in cases where the malocclusion is relatively severe and more Invisalign aligners are needed.
Now then,
at the Diamond-status dental clinic,
Jamsil Invisalign,
Jamsil teenage orthodontic clinic,
Upen Barun Dental,
shall we look at how the teeth moved through the
'ClinCheck' program?
ㅎㅎ
1st ClinCheck (25 aligners)


Teeth play an important role not only aesthetically
but also in chewing food and pronunciation.
After orthodontic treatment with Invisalign,
the front teeth with an underbite found their proper position,
helping each part of the oral cavity work harmoniously,
so the functional aspects were also restored.
The patient had a missing lower front tooth condition with only three lower front teeth,
so we tried to align the midline as closely as possible
with the middle of the three front teeth :)

Orthodontic period: 23/8~ 24/1
This is the photo after completing the first ClinCheck with 25 aligners.
Even with just the first ClinCheck, the treatment was completed to a high standard :)
As expected from a Diamond-status clinic,
what an improvement in the front tooth underbite in just 3 months!
(The patient’s excellent cooperation also played a big role ❤️)
With Invisalign, the results after treatment can vary depending on who designs it and how,
so starting at Upen Barun Dental,
which has high skill and extensive experience,
is more important than anything else.
2nd ClinCheck (26 aligners)


Orthodontic period: 24/2~ 24/7

If the first ClinCheck focused on tooth alignment,
Dr. Kim Seung-woo, who pursues perfection,
provided compensation for the upper and lower bite
with a more detailed design in the second phase.
In the second ClinCheck for teenage Invisalign,
attachments were added compared to the first ClinCheck,
which helps supplement the previous ClinCheck and improve the overall completion of orthodontic treatment.
3rd ClinCheck (12 aligners)


Orthodontic period: 24/7~24/11

Orthodontic period: 23/8 ~ 24/11
This is the photo of the final ClinCheck, where treatment was completed with 12 aligners.
At the Songpa Diamond-status clinic,
Upen Barun Dental,
Dr. Kim’s careful care and the patient’s high level of cooperation
made it possible to improve the underbite without extraction
and finish with neatly aligned teeth.
Compared to wire braces,
Invisalign is more aesthetic, causes relatively less pain,
and feels less intrusive,
so it is also one of the most preferred orthodontic appliances in adolescence.


Orthodontic period: 23/8 ~ 24/11
Unlike before, when there was an underbite in the front teeth
and the crooked alignment made the canines stand out,
after teenage Invisalign treatment the teeth became neatly aligned,
giving a more polished impression.
If you’re worried about frequent visits to the dentist because of a busy cram school and school life,
Invisalign allows treatment by changing the aligners on a set schedule,
so visits can be spaced every 8 weeks, or as long as every 3 to 4 months.
Invisalign is also possible for overseas residents,
and is especially suitable for teenagers and working adults
who do not have much time.
Based on the high skill and extensive experience of an ABO-certified American orthodontic specialist,
why not start Invisalign at Upen Barun Dental,
which achieved Invisalign Platinum status in 2022,
Invisalign Platinum Elite status in 2023,
and Invisalign Diamond status in 2024,
for your beautiful smile?
