Clinical Department & Center

Orthodontics

Greetings

Our department provides orthodontic treatment to people of all ages from young to elderly people who have difficulty chewing, eating or speaking, or those who are concerned about their appearance due to bad tooth alignment or bad bite (malocclusion). Please consult us if you have trouble with malocclusion.
 

Outline

Medical care system

We provide dental care to more than 300 new patients each year. Our aim is to achieve proper and beautiful teeth alignment, bite and appearance that will remain stable for a long period of time.
