Do you have any of these dental conditions?

CROWDING CASE

Overlapping or crooked teeth

Insufficient space causes teeth to overlap or grow crooked, sometimes appearing as extra teeth or impacted teeth. Space is created through arch expansion, distal movement, or interproximal reduction, prioritizing non-extraction; extraction of premolars is considered when space is severely insufficient.

SPACING CASE

Gaps between teeth

Spaces exist between teeth due to imbalanced tooth count or size, oral habits, and other causes. After checking the bite, treatment either closes the gaps completely or redistributes the space for future prosthetic work.

Protrusion before and after treatment

PROTRUSION CASE

Protruding lips

The teeth or alveolar bone protrudes forward, making the lips appear prominent. Treatment is tailored to the case — distal movement or premolar extraction — with careful consideration of changes to facial profile.

OPEN BITE CASE

Upper and lower front teeth that don't meet

The upper and lower front teeth don't meet, leaving a gap. Causes vary — tongue thrusting, skeletal issues, TMJ disorders — so systematic treatment following accurate cause analysis is carried out.

DEEP BITE CASE

Upper front teeth excessively covering the lower

The upper front teeth excessively cover the lower front teeth. A very deep bite can cause tooth wear, gum damage, and TMJ pain. Treatment adjusts vertical tooth positions and corrects the vertical relationship of the upper and lower jaws.

Crossbite before and after treatment
BEFORE

UNDERBITE / OVERJET CASE

Underbite or overbite jaw relationship

Unbalanced jaw growth causes teeth to bite in reverse, or the upper teeth protrude excessively. Skeletal correction is prioritized during growth; adults may undergo compensatory orthodontics or surgery-assisted treatment depending on severity.

CAVITIES & GUM DISEASE CASE

Accompanied by oral disease

Misaligned teeth make oral hygiene difficult, leading easily to cavities and gum disease. Aligning teeth through orthodontics makes hygiene easier, protecting long-term tooth and gum health and preventing recurrence.

PROSTHETICS & IMPLANT CASE

Space creation for prosthetics or implants

Insufficient or improper space for implant placement or prosthetic treatment. Orthodontics uprights tilted teeth or adjusts over-erupted tooth height, creating an environment where prosthetics can be maintained stably for a long time.

RETREATMENT CASE

Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

Orthodontic treatment was received previously but retreatment is needed for various reasons. The cause of relapse is precisely analyzed, and treatment proceeds toward a more stable outcome through thorough consultation.
