About our orthodontics

Most people who consider orthodontic treatment want to have a beautiful appearance. We provide orthodontic treatment that not only improves the appearance of the teeth, but also focuses on the bite.

Benefits of Orthodontics

We all know that having a good set of teeth improves the appearance of your teeth. In addition, being able to chew better also makes it easier to eat and reduces the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. In some cases, a better bite can also improve general symptoms such as stiff shoulders and back pain. With orthodontics, you can create a more attractive mouth and improve your overall health as well.

Negative effects of
misaligned teeth

Misaligned teeth are difficult for the mouth to clean itself, so stains tend to accumulate and are difficult to clean with brushing, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, depending on the bite, the burden of biting force may be concentrated on some teeth, causing tooth loss.

Adult orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment may give the impression that children undergo orthodontic treatment. However, it is possible to start orthodontic treatment as an adult and achieve beautifully aligned teeth. The treatment plan for adult orthodontic treatment is determined based on a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s appearance, skeletal misalignment, bite misalignment, degree of unevenness, and condition of periodontal tissues. As a result, orthodontic treatment for adults may involve aligning a reduced number of teeth. This is due to an incongruity between the size of the bone and the size of the teeth. In this case, the number of teeth is reduced to match the size of the bone that serves as the vessel for the teeth.

We can develop a treatment plan that is gentle to periodontal tissue and teeth, even if you are concerned about the condition of your teeth. Please feel free to consult with us first.

Orthodontia for children

Many parents are troubled by the misalignment of their children’s baby and newly erupted permanent teeth. The best time to start orthodontic treatment for children is generally around the first grade of elementary school, before the permanent teeth come in, which is considered the best time to start treatment.

However, the time to start orthodontic treatment varies from case to case, so parents who have concerns about their child’s mouth once the 6-year-old molars have erupted should feel free to consult with us.

Types of orthodontic
treatment

  1. Multi Bracket
    Orthodontics
    マルチブラケット矯正 An appliance called a wire bracket is bonded to the teeth to move them. Wire brackets are the orthodontist’s orthodontic appliance. A device called a bracket is attached to the tooth surface, and a wire is threaded through the bracket to move the teeth to the ideal position.
  2. Discreet orthodontics 目立たない矯正 Mouthpiece orthodontic treatment (Invisalign) is more comfortable than wire orthodontic treatment because it is transparent, less noticeable, and less painful.During treatment, the patient wears a transparent mouthpiece, and by gradually changing the shape of the mouthpiece, the teeth are moved into the correct position. Orthodontic treatment is recommended for people who want to have beautifully aligned teeth but do not want others around them to notice the treatment. About Mouthpiece

  3. Partial orthodontia 部分矯正 Unlike normal orthodontic treatment, this treatment method moves and aligns some of the teeth that are of concern. Many patients may be concerned about the gap between the upper front teeth, or the unevenness of the lower teeth, or the double teeth, or the double teeth. However, it takes a long time to fix the entire teeth with orthodontic appliances, and the treatment cost is high.
  4. Lingual braces (dentistry) 裏側矯正 Backside orthodontics (lingual orthodontics) is a method of orthodontics in which appliances are attached to the backs of the teeth instead of the front. The appliance is attached to the back of the teeth, wires are passed through it, and a sustained force is applied to move the teeth. Recently, these devices have become smaller and more comfortable during orthodontic treatment. Because the appliances are placed on the backs of the teeth, it is difficult for other people to notice the treatment.
