1. Advanced 3D Virtual Tooth Setup & Profile Preview
Why We Never Build a Smile Without a Blueprint
Starting orthodontic treatment without a virtual tooth setup is like breaking ground on a major construction project without a blueprint. Moving teeth into their ideal positions is very much like remodeling a house; you wouldn’t let a contractor knock down walls without a precise, detailed plan.
By utilizing an accurate virtual blueprint before your treatment begins, we can map out the exact path each tooth will take. This meticulous digital planning ensures highly precise results and effectively shortens your overall treatment time, delivering your perfect smile faster and more efficiently.
2. Right-Time, Conservative Care
We treat every child with the same care and integrity as if they were our own.
- No Over-Treatment: We never start braces too early. Premature treatment causes unnecessary discomfort and increases risks like root resorption.
- Perfect Timing: Missing the ideal growth window can make future treatment far more complex. Dr. Kim ensures your child begins treatment at the exact right age for optimal, long-lasting results.
3. Unmatched Communication & Photo-Guided Progress
Your child will not just “get their wires tightened” and leave.
- Visual Progress Updates: At every single appointment, we take clinical photos of your child’s teeth.
- Direct Doctor Explanation: Dr. Kim personally reviews these photos with both you and your child, explaining exactly what progress was made today and what comes next. You are fully informed every step of the way.
4. Punctual Appointments & Stress-Free Rescheduling
We respect your busy family and work schedules.
- Zero Waiting Room Delays: We start your appointment strictly on time so you can plan your day with confidence.
- Flexible Scheduling: Life happens—especially in military life. If you need to reschedule, our team makes the process seamless and hassle-free.
5. Fair & Seamless Transfer Program for Mid-Treatment Families
Moved to Korea in the middle of orthodontic treatment? We’ve got you covered.
- Fair, Pro-Rated Pricing: We evaluate the remaining duration of your treatment and charge only for what you actually need.
- Smooth Continuity: We take over mid-treatment cases effortlessly to ensure your child finishes with a beautiful, healthy result without restarting from scratch.
6. Same Day Braces-on
If you want to get the braces on the same day as the exams and consultation, please let us know in advance. We can arrange your appointment to prepare for the same day braces-on. We have patients comming form Kunsan ab or Daegu (Camp Caroll). As long as you’re ready, we can put your braces at the same.
Due to limited time on Saturdays for comprehensive treatment planning, full consultations and bracket bonding cannot be completed on the same day as your initial exam. To ensure the highest quality of care, a follow-up visit will be scheduled for your detailed consultation and brace placement.
For Invisalign, it takes 3-4 weeks to get the fist series of Invisalign trays. It is because tooth movement strategy and sequence should be carefully planned by Dr.Kim. Manufactureing and shipping time is included..
