Welcome to
Sakurai Orthodontics
At our clinic, we propose orthodontic treatment while being considerate of the feelings of each patient. Because orthodontic treatment is an important choice that takes time and money, we ensure that we have sufficient counseling time to thoroughly listen to any concerns or questions you may have. We will support you wholeheartedly so that you will never find yourself "unable to ask what you wanted to ask" or "unable to say what you wanted to say."
In addition, the director himself is in charge of all patients, and we value a relaxing atmosphere. Orthodontics is a positive thing that not only straightens your teeth but also leads to confidence in your smile. Please feel free to consult us.

Orthodontics For All Ages
Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults

Early Treatment
(Kindergarten
/elementary
school)
For children up to about elementary school age, not only their teeth but also their jaws and entire faces are in a period of growth. If we can encourage growth during this period, we can create the foundation for neatly aligned teeth.
When all the teeth have grown in, it may become easier to complete orthodontic treatment, and there may be a possibility that the extraction of teeth required for orthodontic treatment will not be necessary. There are things that can be done at this time, so please consult us as soon as you are concerned, or by around the age of 7.

Process
The process from first consultation to completion of orthodontic treatment
Process
step
01
First, an initial consultation
Our clinic operates by appointment only.
First, please make an appointment for your initial consultation at a time that is convenient for you.
First, we ask patients about their concerns and requests for orthodontic treatment. We will discuss the details of treatment with each patient without being bound by preconceptions. Please feel free to consult us about anything.

step
02
Workup
We will carry out various tests necessary to create an orthodontic treatment plan. We will take photographs of your face and inside your mouth, X-rays, and other things related to the alignment of your teeth, as well as check for cavities and other issues.
(In some cases, we can perform a detailed examination on the day of your initial consultation, so please consult with us.)

step
03
Treatment plan proposal
There are various types of orthodontic treatment methods and devices, so we will propose a treatment plan based on the data from a detailed examination to suit the patient's teeth alignment, lifestyle, and requests.
We have provided you with a file containing your data.

step
04
Treatment
Orthodontic treatment will begin. The specific procedure will vary depending on the type of treatment, but please visit us approximately once a month during treatment to have the appliances adjusted and to check for any problems.
The general treatment period and number of visits is approximately 12 to 24 visits (about 2 years) for pediatric orthodontics (first stage orthodontic treatment), approximately 6 to 12 visits (6 months to 12 months) for partial orthodontics, and approximately 24 to 36 visits (2 to 3 years) for full jaw orthodontics.

step
05
Post-treatment maintenance
After using orthodontic appliances to move the teeth to their ideal position, a retainer is inserted to stabilize the position of the teeth so that they do not revert. Just like the treatment to move the teeth to their ideal position, the maintenance period to stabilize them is also very important.
During this time, we will monitor the progress of your wisdom teeth and, if necessary, have them extracted.
During maintenance, we check and adjust the retainer as well as clean the teeth. You will come to the clinic 4-5 times a year for about 2 years.
