What to ask at the initial consultation
What to know about your first visit
Main consern
I think everyone has their own dental concerns, such as crooked teeth or gaps. First of all, please tell us about your current concerns.
Anxiety about treatment
Please rest assured that we will carefully explain any concerns you may have about the length of your treatment and the costs involved.
Should I really do it?
The optimal time for treatment varies from person to person. We will ask you about your current concerns and propose the treatment and duration that is right for you.
Corrections begin with a consultation.
Let's work together to find your perfect teeth.
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 is in charge of all patients, and we value a relaxing atmosphere. Orthodontics is a positive experience that not only straightens your teeth but also leads to confidence in your smile. Please feel free to consult us.

Initial consultation
First Visit
step
01
Interview
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
Examinations
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 positions, retainers are used to stabilize the positions of the teeth and prevent them from going back. Just as important as the treatment to move the teeth to their ideal positions is the maintenance period to stabilize them. During this period, we will also monitor the progress of your wisdom teeth and, if necessary, have them removed. During maintenance, we will check and adjust your retainer as well as clean your teeth. You will need to visit our clinic about 4-5 times a year for about 2 years.
